The Associated Press has already been busy throwing themselves on grenades to protect the Democrats' presumptive nominee Kamala Harris. Today's example spotlights Donald Trump's comments which in part were mocking Harris' pandering during a recent speech in Atlanta:

Even Hillary Clinton might advise Harris to take it down a notch.
But when it comes to Trump's response to that, the Associated Press is again doing their thing:
The Associated Press (@AP) ~ Analysis: Donald Trump questioning Kamala Harris' race shows he doesn't understand code-switching

Putting on a fake accent depending on who you're talking to is just "code-switching," according to the AP.
"Code switching"? ROTFLMAO! No ... Trump, unlike you, fully understands (as do we all) that this is "code" for SHAMELESS, CONDESCENDING PANDERING. LOL ... what a childish twit she is.
RBe (@RBPundit) ~ LOL ... “Code-switching” is what phonies do.
Christy (@PotFullOfFrogs) ~ Code-switching? Wasn't this same idea of adopting someone's mannerisms called appropriation not that long ago?
Yep ... but apparently it is okay if Democrats do it, don'tcha know.
Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ She's just Nicolas Cage, now.
Did the Harris campaign write this story intro?
Kamala Harris has range. She can grill nominees for the Supreme Court or meet with foreign dignitaries, then pivot to hosting a Diwali celebration or dancing enthusiastically alongside an HBCU-styled marching band.
It is a dexterity that Harris, the first Black woman and Asian-American to serve as vice president, developed as a person of color to navigate the corridors of power or Main Street in a nation where race and identity influence how one is received or embraced.
Harris, the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India, is an adroit code-switcher, a term that can include deliberately adjusting one’s speech style and expression to optimize relatability and ensure she gets a message across.
WOOF! That's a whole lotta over-the-top ass-kissing, right there!!! Kim Jong Un's propagandists would be blushing in embarrassment over that kind of toe-sucking statement.
Chad Felix Greene (@chadfelixg) ~ That's a lot of extra work to describe someone being fake.
Joe Concha (@JoeConchaTV) ~ Yep. The totally-objective wire service is still going with the code-switching thing ...
Just imagine how shameless they're going to get in the next few weeks.
Grateful Calvin (@shoveitjack) ~ STFU, you laughable apparatchiks.
What the freak is wrong with people? (@aopaderf) ~ Is there any limit to what they won’t do to support a Democrat?
No there isn't, and the AP is the worst of the worst.
Kristina Wong (@kristina_wong) ~ So, if I run for office someday and break out a black accent because my great grandmother was black, I’m sure it won’t be questioned, right, because I’m just “code-switching” and embracing my heritage?
Without a doubt the AP's "code-switching" excuse will NOT apply to any Republican who does it.
