It’s a day that ends in Y and that means it’s time for another ridiculous conspiracy theory from the right. When they’re not accusing immigrants of stealing and eating pets, they’re insisting that Vice President Kamala Harris’ had help with her spectacular debate performance earlier this week against Donald Trump.
Conservatives, who have shown they are desperate to discredit Harris at any cost, are insisting that she wore “smart audio”-enabled earrings which allowed her debate team to feed her lines throughout the night. Trump isn’t that bright when it comes to his social and economic policies, so him facing the current Vice President and former prosecutor was never going to bode well for him.
Instead of accepting that reality, folks like far-right media personality Laura Loomer pushing this theory on X by posting a side-by-side photo of Harris and a screenshot of an article about the Nova H1 Audio Earrings which she believed Harris may have worn. The post has been seen over six million times.
Trump senior adviser Jason Miller also couldn’t wait to get in on the action by retweeting an article in which Icebach Sound Solutions, the creators of the audio earrings, called the resemblance between their audio earrings and Harris’ earrings “striking.”
The logical explanation—and one that has been supported with photos from a blog called “What Kamala Wore”—is that the VP was sporting Tiffany & Co.’s South Sea Pearl Earrings.
The blog also stated that the earrings are not available online. Harris has been spotted wearing the earrings at a 9/11 remembrance ceremony Wednesday (the day after the debate), at a NCAA championship teams party in July and a rally in Michigan just last month.
The bottom line remains, with or without an earpiece, Harris did a good job and viewers, according polls, believe she showed she was fit to be the next leader of the free world.
