Debunked

A debunked Facebook post falsely claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris wore earrings with hidden audio transmitters during the presidential debate, suggesting she was being coached.

The post, which gained significant traction, was fact-checked by credible sources, including OKMagazine.com.

Confirmed by the Founder
Harris has been seen wearing the earrings for months and there is no evidence to support the claim. Harris’s earrings were confirmed by the founder of the jewelry brand not to be the model referenced in the post.
Tiffany and Company
Instead, they were identified as a discontinued style from Tiffany & Co.
Using an Earpiece
Furthermore, using an earpiece to communicate during the debate would violate the rules prohibiting offstage interactions.
Outperformed Trump
Harris is widely perceived to have outperformed Donald Trump during the presidential debate, with many registered voters agreeing on her strong performance.
Effectively Challenged
It was noted that Harris has effectively challenged Trump, getting under his skin more than any other Democrat or Republican during the past nine years.
Reminiscent
The misleading narrative regarding Harris is largely reminiscent of previous false claims about other politicians following debates.
