FACT CHECK: No, The Harris Campaign Did Not Post A Tweet Accusing A Conservative Media Outlet Of Racism

An image shared on Instagram purports to show a tweet from 2024 Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign headquarters accusing conservative media outlet Total News of racism, hatred, and bigotry.

Verdict: False

The claim is false, as the Harris campaign’s verified X account is @KamalaHQ, not @KamalaHQPress. An advanced search does not generate any results for the purported tweet via the account @KamalaHQ.

Fact Check:

Despite losing the 2024 election to President-Elect Donald Trump, Harris’ campaign is still asking supporters for donations, according to Fox News. Harris’ campaign raised $1.4 billion but is allegedly facing $20 million in debt, the outlet reported, citing Politico.

The Instagram image, which has received over 100 likes as of writing, purports to show a tweet from Harris’ campaign headquarters accusing Total News of racism, hatred, and bigotry.

“The conservative media outlet @TotalNews on Instagram is spewing out hatred, racism, and bigotry. They called Kamala Harris a “losing b**ch,” which is uncalled for and sexist. Avoid this page,” the text of the purported tweet reads. According to the same image, the purported tweet appears to have been shared by the account @KamalaHQPress.

The claim is false. Check Your Fact conducted an advanced search on X for the purported tweet and found no results matching the tweet’s contents or the supposed account. Likewise, an advanced search of the Harris campaign’s verified X account, @KamalaHQ, also does not generate any results for the purported tweet. Harris has not commented on the claim via her official website or her verified social media accounts, either.

In addition, Check Your Fact found no credible news reports to support the claim. Actually, the opposite is true. On December 2, USA Today debunked the claim, indicating the image is fabricated. (RELATED: Claim Michelle Obama Regrets Endorsing Harris Is False)
