Falsehoods about Kamala Harris' citizenship status, racial identity resurface online as she becomes likely Democratic nominee
CBS News ^ | July 23, 2024 | Julia Ingram and Cait Bladt

Not long after President Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, false claims targeting her began resurfacing on social media.

Many of the falsehoods have followed her for years and focus on her citizenship status, racial identity and political achievements. Here are some of the claims.

False claims that Harris' foreign-born parents make her ineligible to run Shortly after the president's endorsement, a false narrative claiming the fact Harris' parents were not born in the U.S. makes her ineligible to hold office recirculated on social media. Posts pushing the claims received millions of views.

Harris was born in Oakland, California, to Jamaican and Indian immigrants. The fact that her parents are immigrants does not disqualify her from serving as vice president or president.

False claims about Harris' citizenship were a flashpoint last time she was on the ticket. Some have used an op-ed, written by pro-Trump lawyer John Eastman and published in Newsweek in 2020, to promote the argument that the Constitution does not grant citizenship to children of people born outside of the United States. An editor's note later appended to the opinion states: "All of us at Newsweek are horrified that this op-ed gave rise to a wave of vile Birtherism directed at Senator Harris."

CBS News running damage control about her ineligibility. She's an anchor baby born to two non citizen parents. Anchor babies hold dual allegiances. In Kamala's case she holds triple allegiances. She doesn't pass the test on being a true red blooded pure American natural born Citizen.

People who say Kamala isn’t a natural born citizen are helping her. It gives the media ammunition to ridicule the people who oppose her.

Not only does it appear that she’s ineligible but her website erased the family biographical information establishing that fact. And now the mass media is claiming she’s somehow got a different history. To magically make her eligible? Truly, we are afflicted with a Prava or Joseph Goebbels type mass media

This needs to be ignored. It’s a trap. Truth is irrelevant and the Constitution means nothing to most leftist voters. What does trigger most voters is border, economy and law and order. Harris can’t articulate nor bring anything to offer concerning “kitchen table” issues without word salad babbling.

Why don’t they make a big deal about Vance’s wife being the first black wife of a vice president? If Indians can identify as black, she could alternate daily from Indian to black and back.

How do the BS artists at SeeBS know these are falsehoods. Wait. Don’t tell me. Cameltoe told them these are falsehoods. She’s her own fartchecker. People in the Nasty far-left “media” are real pieces of meat with two eyes. Single digit I.Q.s.

“I do not stand here to cavil with men who are not read in the horn-books of the law; but I assert that every man born within the limits of the Republic, or under its flag at sea, of parents who were not the subjects of any other sovereignty, are, in the very words of the Constitution, natural born citizens”

Kamala needs to stop lying about her Indian heritage:

So the only President of the United States we can come up with is a Jamaican “refugee” anchor baby from Canada that’s too cowardly to go home and square away her own commie countries. India and Jamaica. I know that without an official U.S. Race Card to throw around at the White folks, she’s just another worthless, piece of meat, nobody.
