Vice president Kamala Harris finds herself at the center of a disinformation storm on social media ever since Joe Biden opted out of the presidential race paving the way for her. She will probably be the Democratic candidate against Donald Trump in the November election.
Here are the top five fake claims about Kamala Harris
‘Kamala Harris is not American, not Black and can’t contest’

Courtesy to the Republican campaign, claims that Kamala Harris is neither American nor Black as can’t contest the US election are doing the rounds.The fact is she is a US citizen with multiracial lineage. She was born on October 20, 1964 in California. Her mother Shyamala Gopalan was from India and her father Donald J Harris was from Africa. Kamala Harris is of Asian-African origin but a natural born US citizen.
‘Kamala Harris partied with Epstein’

This fake news has been spread with a photoshopped image. In the original photo, Kamala Harris was posing with her husband Doug Emhoff. In the viral image, Doug was replaced with sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
‘Kamala Harris had an affair with Willie Brown’
The fact is when Kamala Harris had a relationship with Willie Brown, Brown was already separated and so it was not an affair. “Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago,” Brown wrote in 2020 in the San Francisco Chronicle under the article title, “Sure, I dated Kamala Harris. So what?”
‘Kamala Harris was side piece of Montel Williams’

Montel Williams is a former television host known for “The Montel Williams Show”. After Biden dropped out of the race, a clip showing Montel Williams with two women — one of them Kamala Harris — went viral. Social media users claimed Kamala Harris was Montel’s “side-piece”. Montel took to X and clarified that the other woman was his daughter Ashley Williams. Montel Williams and Kamala Harris was dating at that time when they both were single.
‘Kamala Harris promised to inflict the vengeance of a nation on Trump supporters”
A quote from a satire article published in 2019 has been falsely attributed to Kamala Harris. “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 the quote that Kamala Harris never said.
