Kamala Harris Was Born In the US Despite Conspiracy Claim
August 14, 2020
President Trump is questioning the citizenship of the presumptive Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, whose parents are immigrants, much as he did for years when former president Barack Obama was in office, in a lie that became known as “birtherism.” Harris’ parents were Indian and Jamaican immigrants, but Harris was born in Oakland, California in 1964. Per the 14th amendment, anyone born in the United States is a U.S. citizen. Trump falsely claims she is ineligible for office.
