No evidence there were transmitters in Kamala Harris' earrings during debate Fact check

[Dulcinea]

(USA Today) -snip- For more than 90 minutes on Sept. 10, Harris and former President Donald Trump traded barbs, claims and policy proposals during their first presidential debate of the election season.

But the claim in the Facebook post is baseless. There is no credible evidence to indicate Harris’ jewelry during the debate contained audio transmitters that could have allowed her to be “coached," as the post claims.

The earrings she wore on the debate stage featured large pearls with two gold stalks that curve behind her earlobes in a “J” shape. A journalist-run website that tracks the vice president’s clothing choices identifies them as a discontinued style from Tiffany & Co. Indeed, the earrings bear a close resemblance to the earrings in Tiffany & Co.’s HardWear line of jewelry, although the pearls in Harris' earrings are noticeably larger than the ones pictured on the jeweler's website.

"There was a bizarre narrative being pushed last night claiming the vice president wore earrings with an audio receiver," Susan Kelley wrote for her site, What Kamala Wore. "I am comfortable stating that was clearly not the case; these are the same Tiffany earrings she has worn for months."

1. For gawd's sake, the morons cannot fathom a competent woman who doesn't need "direction."

Idiots.

And projection. Remember when dubya wore ear pieces because he was so fucking illiterate he could not read the teleprompter?

2. Why would any sane person even beilive

that this is an accusation worth investigating?

3. I wonder, whom do they imagine was feeding her the answers over her earpieces?

Why would anybody else be more competent than she is to do the job? And who would they be? Some white man, no doubt

5. Obama...

Remember, he's allegedly calling the shots here.

7. They really are nuts.

So their point is a black man is smarter than a black woman? That figures.

9. And Joe Biden!

They were talking this shit way before the first debate. Apparently, Barack Obama is a mastermind and they claim he's been calling the shots since he left office and Joe is just taking orders from him since Joe is supposed to be inept.

10. I guess we just have to accept the fact that they really do hate all of us

12. Guess so...

These are the people who are actually consumed by hatred.

4. And even if there were, why would transmitting info to her make *Trump* any stupider?

He wasn't getting his demented word salads through her transmitters, was he?

6. The fact that a random, insane statement from a MAGA nutcase needs to be disproven

shows the state of things in this country
thanks to the open and unrelenting propaganda being passed on as fact.

8. There is no way she was coached she is an ex prosecutor who knows how to punch back

These magas are really getting desperate to not admit their magaloon cult leader got his big fat a$$ whipped by a woman!

11. I am impressed, imagining the amount of hard work she put in preparing for that debate

Such a contrast to Trump, who said he’s been preparing his whole life for it. Apparently his whole life wasn’t enough.
