Fact check: Harris campaign social media account has repeatedly deceived with misleading edits and captions
CNN ^ | Sat September 14, 2024 | Daniel Dale

A social media account run by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has been repeatedly deceptive.

The @KamalaHQ account, which has more than 1.3 million followers on the X social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has made a habit of misleadingly clipping and inaccurately captioning video clips to attack former President Donald Trump.

The Harris campaign deploys @KamalaHQ as a kind of irreverent attack dog, using jocular posts to draw attention to controversial, incorrect, or dubious comments by Trump and his allies. But the account, which the Harris campaign calls its “official rapid response page,” has itself made inaccurate comments on multiple occasions.

Below are eight examples of false or misleading video posts from the account since mid-August, including three from the latter part of this week. All of them have previously been highlighted by an anonymous rebuttal account called @KamalaHQLies, which itself has more than 268,000 followers.

Misleadingly describing a Trump comment about his supporters

An August 17 post from @KamalaHQ strongly suggested Trump had gotten confused about what state he was in during an event in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The post said, “Trump: Would that be okay, North Carolina? (He is in Pennsylvania).” It included a six-second video clip in which Trump said, while pointing to his left, “Would that be okay, North Carolina? I don’t think so, right.”

The Harris campaign was explicit about its intentions in the version of the post it made on the Instagram @KamalaHQ account, saying, “Donald Trump is lost and confused.”

The meta-question is whether or not the Deep State has decided to give up on Camela. Giving the MSM rein to torpedo her is one tell. Maybe all this news on ineligible voters, true crime and unemployment numbers, and immigration problems are others.

If so, they might be trying to prevent their minions from being displaced after Pres. Trump wins.

The smart move for the Deep State is to give up on Harris but focus on keeping the Senate.

Then win with Gavin Newsom in 2028.

It'll be easy to obstruct Trump's agenda for the next four years if he wins in November.

In other news, rain is wet.

As a group (gang? Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization?) the Democrats appear not to be able to help resorting to the low road, if not tunnels.

CNN may be trying to appear unbiased in an attempt to host the next debate.

I have to say, CNN has become much more balanced in recent months. They changed ownership after the AT&T buyout in 2018 but perhaps more importantly, Jeff Zucker is out as CEO and new Chairman and CEO Mark Thompson seems to have made an effort to change course.

That doesn’t mean that individual anchors and personalities don’t exhibit bias. Some of them are clearly DNC operatives. But the hiring of that new conservative guy who’s been mopping the floors with the radicals during roundtable discussions, and the willingness of moderators to let him speak rather than ganging up on him indicates that a more balanced attitude is starting to work its way through the corporate culture.

Kamala must have done something to piss off CNN. They are increasingly off of the “Kamala is inevitable” plantation.
