Trump and his cult smear Kamala Harris and cowardly Republicans don’t stand up for her.
Graham’s unequivocal statement here is interesting since for at least a decade, he has supported revoking birthright citizenship https://t.co/6reHwxnaER https://t.co/2f8SLI4Xxn

Dear Republican Senators — @realDonaldTrump has smeared one of your colleagues suggesting she is not eligible to be President. Anyone of you want to stand up for your colleague? Any on of you have an ounce of respect for the Senate? Anyone still have any decency?

Fact check: Trump promotes another birther lie, this time about Kamala Harris
— CNN (@CNN) August 14, 2020
Facts First: Harris was born in Oakland, California. She meets the Constitution's requirements to serve as vice president or president. There is no serious question about this. https://t.co/BwG86gRAbe pic.twitter.com/7AFuK3mGcW
Trump smeared Kamala Harris using appallingly racist, misogynistic language last night and it's not even a story https://t.co/YUXiNd2JRU

President Trump has suggested inaccurately that Kamala Harris isn’t eligible to be a vice presidential candidate. Jared Kushner, however, denies that Trump suggested anything of the sort. “Right now, you’re the ones spreading disinformation.” pic.twitter.com/jHrUL8dwO7

Kamala Harris was born in California and is eligible for both the vice presidency and presidency. President Trump yesterday gave credence to a false and racist conspiracy theory that she's not eligible. https://t.co/1Ks7VLn1L2

Constitutional law scholars weigh in on the Newsweek op-ed and the Kamala Harris eligibility theory Trump parroted today. “I hadn’t wanted to comment on this because it’s such an idiotic theory. There is nothing to it.” See also: “Total bs.” https://t.co/Ocv87Ck2jW

New #FactChecker —> Trump promotes false claim that Harris might not be a U.S. citizen https://t.co/3UgguufElq

The odious Birther Movement has been born again. Their claims about President Obama were nonsense. Their claims about Kamala Harris are false and malicious. Anyone who supports this smear is reprehensible. https://t.co/z6O7QzlE6U

Appalling. And should be condemned by every single Republican elected official. But won’t be. https://t.co/BUtHzSlLBh

Q: Can you definitely say that Kamala Harris is eligible to be VP?
— Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) August 13, 2020
Pres Trump: "I heard it today that she doesn't meet the requirements. I have no idea if that is right…I would have assume that the Democrats have checked it out."
FACT CHECK: Harris is absolutely eligible.
Trump is pushing a new birther conspiracy lie. He knows full well that Kamala Harris is qualified to be president or Vice President.

We’re really doing this again as if this is real? He was forced to admit it was a lie that he had perpetuated about Obama in 2016. https://t.co/MduthtuOXF

This is how Trump does his birther lying – just-asking-questions, maybe-true-maybe-not, check-it-out. It’s garbage. https://t.co/jxYnNx4yCG

Trump, dipping his toe in Kamala Harris birtherism…
— Jeremy Diamond (@JDiamond1) August 13, 2020
"I heard today that she doesn't meet the requirements…I have no idea if that's right."
That article was not only nonsense—it was trying to stoke the same racist hate that Trump stoked years ago when he pushed his “birther” conspiracy theories. https://t.co/ZrPebpdcND

That shadowy forces—George Soros, the Muslim Brotherhood—are secretly controlling the Democratic Party is a favorite theme of Fox News’s opinion-side programming. https://t.co/15HyflE9mj

Agreed. You've covered it. If so, hopefully you've noted that it's totally false. Now, we're done. Just because they tell the lie doesn't mean anyone needs to repeat it. https://t.co/uebiY5lr7m

President Trump suggests that Kamala Harris, an American citizen who is 55 years old and was born in Oakland, Calif., might not be eligible to serve as Vice President.
— Matt Viser (@mviser) August 13, 2020
The birtherism smear is racist. It's a lie. And it's disgusting. It's the epitome of Donald Trump.
— The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) August 13, 2020
Kamala Harris is an American. She's ready to serve on day one. Period.
Newsweek: It’s not Birtherism per se, we believe Kamala’s birth certificate, we just wonder about about this other technicality that we never talk about when it's white candidates.
— Touré (@Toure) August 13, 2020
Reminder that the “birther” stuff was a loser for Trump in 2016, so much so that he awkwardly renounced it right before the election. https://t.co/sW1Kolf6Os
— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) August 13, 2020
Can't believe we have to say this: Yes, Kamala Harris, a natural-born U.S. citizen from Oakland, California, is allowed to be both president or vice president no matter where her parents are from.https://t.co/LBdlSXKhJT
— The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) August 13, 2020
I did not expect that the Oakland-born Harris would be subject to a reprise of the "birther" attacks…But having had a front row seat to watch what my party has devolved into over the past decade, maybe I should not have been surprised. https://t.co/kG5Pg9d5Kk
