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: 

Putting on a fake accent depending on who you're talking to is just "code-switching," according to the AP. 

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.

All that could have been said with far fewer words: 

Right?

Just imagine how shameless they're going to get in the next few weeks.

The AP's water-carrying might embarrass even North Korean state media.

No there isn't, and the AP is the worst of the worst.

Without a doubt the AP's "code-switching" excuse will NOT apply to any Republican who does it.
