Most of the tweets garnered hundreds of thousands of retweets, conveying a certain level of influence on the platform.
Several such tweets targeting Harris revived a classic, racist attack on her nationality. The posts alleged that her identity as a black woman was somehow in question, owing to her father's Jamaican origins, and"trolls have been using videos on Twitter and Facebook to make the story go viral," according to the report. Jamaican identity, of course, does not preclude Harris from having African ancestry.
Other Democratic candidates received their fair share of misinformation and viral falsehoods. Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, respectively, received the third and fourth highest amounts of Twitter misinformation around the July primary debates.
It is all over the news and the attacks from 16 are repeating. Don't let them lie to you.
And there are dozens of trolls in the comments making absurd statements about how Russia is not interfering in our elections and nothing is happening, it is all lies.... Report and block trolls.
IanSams So 'VineSight' got the memo from Harris and Co about how to formulate a response disguised as a news story and CC'd Newsweek. Corporate Press is the ENEMY of the PEOPLE.
Ashley_Reynolds LIKELY because they are convinced that the primary in the long run will come down between the two of them (regardless of grandpa Sanders trying to hang on). In addition, Russia hates both of them and see either as a credible opponent against Trump unlike Warren or Sanders.
IanSams Anti-Establishment Candidate: X has a terrible record, is a war mongerer and takes money from special interests who write their policies. Here are my plans to fix all of this! Establishment Candidate + Corporate Media: obviously they must work for Putin
IanSams
Look around.... they are still at work right here in the comments. Block away!
IanSams Establishment democrats never stop with the excuses when the simple reality is that both lack a compelling vision and have awful records.
CDonatac Hopefully this will clear some things up. Kamala was a corrupt prosecutor, look it up. Joe Biden gave George Bush a medal for the Iraq War which was waged on lies. Neither have ever served in the military. TulsiGabbard has. Tulsi2020
IanSams Tulsi crushed KamalaHarris. KamalaHarris could not respond to Tulsi's points and resorted to smears. Tulsi met with Assad and the opposition because she is a diplomat, that was standard business in Congress to learn more about a war. IanSams called an active soldier a traitor.
IanSams they terrify the GOP and Russia/others who know they can't pull their BS if either one is elected; they have to stir chaos, they can't win on facts and truth. perpetrators know there's a whole bunch of willing gullibles who will believe anything
You really can’t be ‘serious’ Newsweek. This woman blatantly sat in a chair and created one of the most ridiculous falsehoods and you continue to promote well corruption.
'Misinformation' isn't supposed to mean anything that's outside your preferred perceptions of these candidates.
You don’t say 🙄...
Wow.
