CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC SEN. Kamala Harris is widely seen as a frontrunner for a spot on the ticket with presumptive nominee Joe Biden, with vetting well underway.
Presidential vetting operations have entire teams of investigators, but for the public, when the pick is announced, the most common source for information about the person chosen is Wikipedia. And there, a war has broken out over how to talk about Harris’s career.
At least one highly dedicated Wikipedia user has been scrubbing controversial aspects of Harris’s “tough-on-crime” record from her Wikipedia page, her decision not to prosecute Steve Mnuchin for mortgage fraud-related crimes, her strong support of prosecutors in Orange County who engaged in rampant misconduct, and other tidbits — such as her previous assertion that “it is not progressive to be soft on crime” — that could prove unflattering to Harris as the public first gets to know her on the national stage. The edits, according to the page history, have elicited strong pushback from Wikipedia’s volunteer editor brigade, and have drawn the page into controversy, though it’s a fight the pro-Harris editor is currently winning.
In 2016, The Atlantic published an article about Wikipedia edits and how a burst of activity could foreshadow Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential pick, noting that Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine’s page had seen significantly more edits than any other candidate’s in the weeks leading up to the announcement.

I have the same feelings as the guy in the background.
“Transparency”
Biden will pick the one with the best smelling hair.
Three Nationality Harris was born an Indian national from her Indian national mother, a Jamaican national from her Jamaican national father and was given US citizenship because her mother happened to be here when she was born.
She was raised in Canada.
She is not naturally American.
No one with more than ONE nationality is a natural born citizen.
Straight out of Rules For Radicals...and the Stasi Handbook.
It’s not generally known, but literally anyone can edit a Wikipedia page. How long that edit stays up is another matter.
Back in 2016 I went to Hillary Clinton’s Wikipedia page to check on something. And to my surprise, some merry prankster had added this to Hillary’s entry: “Secretary Clinton’s hobby is collecting pictures of women’s behinds. If you have such a picture, send it to her.”
Went I went back about an hour later, that edit was gone. I sure wish I had taken a screen shot if it when I could.
Do they still emphasize she got her start on Willie Brown’s staff?
“The Intercept reported...According to the Intercept:”
This is the original source Bongino stole it from.
Hmm, born on American soil, raised in a foreign country...who does that remind me of?
Go read the article.
Eric Blair is smiling. Remember his character Winston’s job in life?
I guess everybody’s forgotten that Harris is ineligible to be VP, just like they did nobama.
Does it really matter?
... except for Demonicrat Kamala, unfortunately.
“....Does it really matter?..”
It should, but probably not.
But like any good trap, it needs to be set...and sprung at the appropriate time. It certainly needs to be made known and obstacle to Willie’s wash cloth.
she’s hidden the facts establishing her Ineligibility from both her website and from her wiki bio, too
Does it really matter?

Words have meaning or the Constitution is an illusion.
Ant she the gal who was sleeping will Willey Brown.....maybe she is sleeping with ole Joe....if so would he even know??
