Since Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race, Kamala Harris, vice president of America, has been at the centre of a disinformation campaign on social media platform that will probably make her the Democratic Party candidate against Donald Trump in November.
These are five popular fallacies concerning Kamala Harris
It is now believed that Kamala Harris doesn’t qualify to be American or Black and should not contest the presidency according to Republicans. She has a background of mixed races, but she is an American citizen by birth. California was her place of birth on October 20th 1964. Her mother Shyamala Gopalan came from India while her father Donald J Harris hailed from Africa. Though Kamala Harris comes from Asia-Africa roots she is American-born national.
“Kamala Harris parties with Epstein”
This piece of fiction has been propagated by means of photo editing. One image showed Kamala with Doug Emhoff, who is her husband at a beach which was photoshopped because instead it became Doug and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s picture.
“Kamala Harris had affair with Willie Brown.”
In reality, since Willie Brown was divorced when he dated Kamala Harris; it cannot be termed as an affair. In an article written in 2020 for San Francisco Chronicle titled “Sure, I dated Kamala Harris. So what?” Brown explained saying” yes we dated more than twenty years ago”.
“Montel Williams’ side piece was Kamala”
“The Monet Williams Show” former host Montel Williams released a clip featuring him and two other women – one of them being Kamalla Harrison days after Biden exited his candidacy; hence went viral all over social media platform as people commenced spreading around rumors that Ms Harrison had been Montel’s mistress (side-piece). Montel then took to X and pointed out that his other companion was none other than his daughter Ashley Williams whereas he and Ms.Harris was dating at this period when both of them were without partners.
“Kamala Harris Promises to Let Loose the Wrath of the Nation on Trump Supporters”
The quote is wrongly attributed to Kamala as it came from a fake article published in 2019. “Once Trump’s gone and we have regained our rightful place in the White House, look out if you supported him and endorsed his actions, because we’ll be coming for you next. You will feel the vengeance of a nation.” This is what Kamila Harris never said.
