Kamala Harris Denies Earpiece Claims During Presidential Debate
False Claims Surrounding Kamala Harris During Debate
Following the recent presidential debate, Kamala Harris has been the target of false claims suggesting she wore an earpiece disguised as earrings. Prominent social media accounts, notably from right-wing influencer Laura Loomer, erroneously asserted that Harris's earrings were, in fact, Nova H1 audio earphones resembling pearls. Loomer’s post garnered over 1.3 million views, intensifying the spread of misinformation.
Debunking the Misconceptions
However, substantial comparisons reveal that the earphones and earrings are distinctly different. The earphones, which are designed to wrap around the earlobe, contrast sharply with the delicate, dangle-style earrings worn by Harris, which are identified as Tiffany & Co. South Sea Pearl Earrings.
Debate Rules and Regulations
Moreover, the guidelines set for the ABC debate prohibited candidates from bringing any notes or props, including earpieces. This raises further questions about the credibility of the claims circulating online. CBS News reached out to the Kamala Harris campaign regarding these baseless allegations, but the truth remains clear amidst the noise of conspiracy theories.
