GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is doubling down on why he keeps mispronouncing the first name of Vice President Kamala Harris .

Trump repeatedly botched Harris name on Friday while speaking at the Believers Summit, an event held by conservative Christian group Turning Point Action in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Some people think I mispronounce it on purpose, but actually Ive heard it said about seven different ways, he said. There are a lot of ways.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has made it very clear how she pronounces her own name. She released a PSA during her 2016 Senate run demonstrating how to pronounce it. Shes previously suggested people remember it by thinking, comma-la, like the punctuation mark.

Her pronunciation varies from the traditional pronunciation of the Indian name, which is closer to comla.

However, neither of those versions are what Trump has landed on. He pronounced the name Ka-MA-luh, with a strong emphasis on the second syllable.

He claims that he was once told either KA-ma-luh or Ka-MA-luh were OK, but ultimately, he told the crowd, he just doesnt care about getting it right.

I said, dont worry about it, he recalled. It doesnt matter what I say. I couldnt care less if I mispronounce it or not. I couldnt care less.

Sociolinguistics professor Nicole Holliday told HuffPost this week that at this point, many Republicans who pronounce Harris name incorrectly are doing so on purpose, and it can even be a way for them signal their political views.

If youre a Republican, or lets say an independent but leaning Republican, and you say, Kuh-MA-luh, then everybody knows either youre not really for her, or youre not consuming the media where people bother to say her name, right? she said.

But Kamala wasnt the only word Trump didnt quite nail on Friday. At one point, he also said Harris in a way that sounded like Harrah. At another moment , he expressed the need for Republicans to defeat her in a land slade.
