Fact Check: Did Bernie Bros Start the Kamala Harris Rumor?
A false narrative alleging that Kamala Harris's career success is due to sexual relationships has recently spread widely on social media. The claim suggests that supporters of Bernie Sanders initiated this rumor. However, a recent video presents evidence that contradicts this assertion. Screenshots of news articles and social media posts from January 2019 demonstrate that the rumor existed months before the alleged involvement of Bernie Bros in July 2019. This timeline suggests that the rumor originated elsewhere and was amplified by right-wing media outlets. The video's author states, "This was like five years ago, man. We can easily look it up." This highlights the ease of fact-checking and the importance of verifying information before sharing it. The video serves as a valuable resource for understanding how misinformation spreads and the need for critical evaluation of online content. The debunking of this false narrative promotes responsible information consumption and encourages a more informed public discourse.
