Fact check: Harris campaign social media account has repeatedly deceived with misleading edits and captions

Washington

 — 
A social media account run by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has been repeatedly deceptive.

The @KamalaHQ account, which has more than 1.3 million followers on the X social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has made a habit of misleadingly clipping and inaccurately captioning video clips to attack former President Donald Trump.

Below are eight examples of false or misleading video posts from the account since mid-August, including three from the latter part of this week. All of them have previously been highlighted by an anonymous rebuttal account called @KamalaHQLies, which itself has more than 268,000 followers:

(each example is documented and fact checked, found false, and corrected by CNN)

1. Misleadingly describing a Trump comment about his supporters

An August 17 post from @KamalaHQ strongly suggested Trump had gotten confused about what state he was in during an event in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The post said, “Trump: Would that be okay, North Carolina? (He is in Pennsylvania).” It included a six-second video clip in which Trump said, while pointing to his left, “Would that be okay, North Carolina? I don’t think so, right.”

The Harris campaign was explicit about its intentions in the version of the post it made on the Instagram @KamalaHQ account, saying, “Donald Trump is lost and confused.”

But Trump was not lost or confused.

The full video of the rally shows that earlier in the speech, Trump had pointed to the same spot on his left to acknowledge and then speak to a group of ardent supporters from North Carolina, eventually saying, “Thank you very much. North Carolina!” Later, in the moment shown by @KamalaHQ, he pointed to these supporters again and referred to them as “North Carolina.” He had not forgotten he was speaking in Pennsylvania.

The Harris campaign declined to comment on this @KamalaHQ post.

2. Deceptively clipping and misleadingly describing a Trump comment about immigration

3. Deceptively clipping and misleadingly describing a Trump comment about his 2017 Charlottesville remark

4. Deceptively clipping and inaccurately quoting a JD Vance quote about veterans’ health care

5. Deceptively clipping and falsely describing a Trump quote about penalties for damaging monuments

6. Deceptively clipping and misleadingly describing a Trump comment about taxes

7. Cutting out critical words from a Vance comment about unions

8. Falsely describing a comment from a Trump ally

Why is Kamala’s campaign doing this? Isn’t she (and aren’t her people) better than that?

Go Kamala. Fight fire with fire. When the repugs go low, take them to hell. I don’t know what Michelle was talking about with that go higher. Take them out at the knees Kamala. Give them a double dose of their own medicine. [/quote]

There's plenty of difference. One believes in democracy, the rule of law, NATO, our intelligence agencies, and focusing on the welfare of the vast majority of its citizens. The other doesn't.[/quote]
