'I heard it today that she doesn't meet the requirements. I have no idea if that's right,' President Trump said of Sen. Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic vice-presidential nominee, who was born in Oakland, Calif.

Sen. Kamala Harris, running mate of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, attends a coronavirus briefing Thursday in Wilmington, Del.Sen. Kamala Harris, running mate of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, attends a coronavirus briefing Thursday in Wilmington, Del.President Trump stoked a controversial theory being promoted by supporters — and his campaign — that Sen.

Kamala Harris of California is not eligible for the vice presidency.Trump, who led a"birther" conspiracy movement against former President Barack Obama, told reporters Thursday that he heard a"highly qualified, very talented lawyer" opine that Harris didn't qualify to serve as vice president but did not know if it were true or not.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.
Please try again later.

It's not a 'controversial theory' - it's a lie. FFS if you can't name it properly, why are you even reporting on it? Kamala Harris is qualified. Any statements - or questions - to the contrary is bullsht.

F lying Donald Trump.

Yeah, local FB claims Bill Barr is already working to disqualify her. Also claims ineligible 'cause her daddy was descended from slave owners. Have they forgotten whites raped Black slavewomen, & those offspring were owned slaves by the raping owners? Locals read BS, pass it on.

My advice is not to retweet this. Why spread his lies. KeepTrumpsMouthShut.

'I have no idea if that's right' this man has no idea about a lot of important issues Americans are facing. JFC, he just lied again. He knows she was born in the US. When she threw her hat in the PRESIDENTIAL ring did we hear all of this BS?

ColleenZenk If you have no idea if that is right or not… why say it? Why spread rumors? Why bear false witness?

He 'heard it.' What complete and utter BS. We've been down this road before. Why are reporters NOT calling him out? Who told you? When? Where? Why are you saying this? Call out his damn lies for crying out loud. If I hear 'people are saying' one more time....

Well I doubt that JoeBiden and his child trafficking ring TheDemocrats would allow that to happen. He’s on his way out with a severe cognitive disorder, I wouldn’t be surprised if he dropped out when they realize they’re losing the election so she can pick up nomination.

Well he’s got the iq of a grapefruit and they let him in the chair so 🤷🏼‍♀️

dementiaDon has no idea what day it is. Trump needs to be checked into a mental hospital.

When Putin's Orange Poodle says 'I heard it today...', what he means is that the voices in his head have started yammering again.

I imagine many Trump supporters are saying this on the grounds that she is, indeed, not an old white man.

Your tweet also amplifies it by not mentioning it's false except in the story. And why do you say 'untrue' instead of the simpler 'False?' Some people will misread 'untrue' as 'true.'

Born to students who were not citizens and who moved to Canada immediately.

Dear GOP. When your only tool is “birther,” every problem looks like a birth.

He was asked a question by the press and answered he did not know - but typical liberal spin that for some reason he is pushing this narrative. The press is pushing the narrative.

Didn't stop obama

Please don’t play his game this time. It’s a lie. You know it’s a lie. Call it a lie.

She’s more American than you,Trump

You people are clowns. He said he has no idea if it's right, he was asked about it, and that's the answer he gave. How is that amplifying it? This is why people hate the media.

Come on, NPR. It's not a controversial theory, it's a lie. Do better.

Democrats should turn this around. Trump tries to distract us from his response to the coronavirus and the escalating effect it is having on the economy. While the MSM is happy to amplify 'under 1 million' jobless claims, people are losing needed income, leading to eviction.

Like or not, she will be our next VP😄

NPR infers negative connotations every single day against Trump in every article posted about him or his supporters. It’s ok for you to do it, but if he does it you chide him on it. Do you not see the hypocrisy? And you wonder why people don’t trust the media?

Read the Constitution, it clear states a natural born US Citizen can hold the office of President. Last time I checked she was born October 20, 1964, Oakland, California, U.S. People need to do research before believing the garbage being put out there. We not Sheep,

msm lies

“I heard it today” = “I’m lying my ass off” shitforbrains

Racist not birther- also - lied not said

Best just to ignore this man, he loves the attention.

He cannot hold a candle to her qualifications and proves that every day. Her parents came to this country as immigrants and so did his his. His mom was a hard working maid and I bet that kills him

Someone hold down SnoopDogg . [ He rides hard for Cali crew. ]

BORN IN THE USA!!! Harris qualifies per the USA Constitution. STOP the BS. America's voters are neither stupid nor idiots.

Born in the USA= qualified Candidate. Stop the BS!! Voters are not idiots.

MEdward58822870 I want to know why there is a question of kamala's citizenship. Is it because she is black or because her name is just not a typical WHITE name or both ?

Nope, NPR. You didn’t need to do this.

Well it worked so well on Obama, why not try with Harris?

It’s so undignified for the most powerful man to behave this way. It’s really poor form.

TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

By that logic, Donald does not meet the requirements for Pres.

What would happen again if the press ignored the racist dog whistles? Just this once.

The plain meaning of the 14th Amendment means that one must BOTH be born in United States AND be subject to the jurisdiction thereof. Since there are two explicit requirements, they both cannot be met by simply being born on U.S. soil.

And the media just falls into this birther BS again. OG birther is vomiting 🤮 his birther BS all over Kamala now. Apparently, attacking the birth of the first black president wasn’t enough.

45 is shameless.

Well that didn’t take our racist commander in chief long did it. Stunning.

Fuck this. Grow a spine and call him a liar and a despot. He is actively rigging the election.

I hope this is not true, but if he is doing it again, i am so embarrassed to have to say that our president is such a low-life.

Because these kind of racist dog whistle birther smears worked so well that BarackObama was elected, and reelected, serving 8 great years as our POTUS? Keep it up. WeGotThis

does writing an entire article about some bullshit facebook post also amplify the conspiracy? maybe the media should try ignoring this crap rather than propel it to forefront of people's minds. isn't this how we got trump elected the first time?

He did not amplify anything. He answered a reporter’s question. 🛑 lying. 🙄🙄🙄🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

More birther shite.

lol, now do kopmala calling biden a racist, sexual predator

It's not a 'theory' it's a racist dog whistle.

There are not 2 sides to every story. By referring to this racist lie as a “theory” you actually misinform. As a longtime donor, I expect better from you (although your headline referring to the post office sabotage as a “shake up” a few days ago was also terrible). FactsMatter

Unbelievable. Just tweet out his racist birther lies with complete credulity like you haven't learned a damn thing in the past four years.

Liar, liar, pants on fire!🔥

I heard it every day of Trump’s administration: he doesn’t measure up to the job.

Obama’s mother, U.S. citizen, born in America, father not a citizen. Two of Trump wives not born in America, most Trump kids to immigrant mothers. Harris born to immigrants in America. The culture and male parent that matters to Trump. It should not.

Trump spawn of Satan so he not born here hell just slow in issuing recall

According to Trump you must be white to be a citizen, racist oh yea!

Ahhh the old “I heard” followed by baseless claims and a shrug of the shoulders....

Democrats need to read the definition. They’re too emotional to understand a written language.

Has he ever ‘heard’ and then repeated this lie about a white person, or is birther conspiracy his dog whistle for racists to support him? I think we know the answer but open to any evidence to the contrary.

NPR - No Proper Reporting

Requirements? Scaredy cat Trump?

nprpolitics It's not a 'controversial theory' it's an out-and-out lie. Try 'President Trump today boosted a deliberate lie about Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris' Constitutional right to run for that office.' Do better. Tell the truth.

Low-flow Donald doesn't have the requirements of a President.

The media is doing it again. They’re going to normalize it again. Just call it RACIST CONSPIRACY!!

You say this as if it hasn’t already been all over the news.

Please call this what it is, - a baseless RACIST attack.

By next week, Trump will say,' Kamala Harris was born in Afghanistan. Is a Muslim terrorist. Snorts cocaine. Has a heroine trade route. And, runs a child sex trade cartel right behind the 'Wall' in Mexico. AND.., SHE'S BLACK! But not enough.' His supporters will believe it.

Still trying to figure out which kook in the White House press corps asked this dumb and leading question... that’s the only reason I have to keep seeing this crappy headline

Not meeting the requirements is something he familiar with.

Racist conspiracy theory. You guys feel bad for all your capitulation to the lies?

Just call it racism.

Yet there was no questioning tedcruz eligibility to run for POTUS even though he was born in Canada.

The reporters ask Trump of something he never heard before regarding Kamala's eligibility.. Trump doesn't know her background.. so Trump answers that he has no idea and you're saying he is a birther? This is a lie, he never said he doesn't believe she isn't eligible.

The first person in Donald's family to be born in the US was Donald's father. The only thing required to be a 'native-born' US Citizen is to be born in the USA, or on territory of the US (a base, an embassy, an island, etc). But we can't expect him to appreciate the constitution.

Last time Trump pull that card and look what happened. 😂😂😂😂

And Trump DEFINITELY DOES NOT meet the qualifications! NO QUESTION! The caucasity of all this birther crap!

Criminal , guilty smile...

This is just more RACIST BULLSHIT from the Trump Crime Family. Trump's mother was born in Scotland. Ivanka, Erik, & Don Jr's mother was born in Czechoslovakia. Barron's mother was born in Slovenia. Do you think he'd question for a second their status as natural-born citizens? HA.

Please don't give this any attention. That's what they want. Truth is irrelevant. Noise amplification is everything.

What a limp richard 😳

You heard wrong! Don't start this tired birther stuff again.

When he said he had “no idea” he described his miserable life and regime in two words 😏

Hope to JoeBiden in a tan suit soon.

To Trump “I heard it” means “Someone made this up and told me to say it”

Kanala is down as Caucasian on her birth certificate - thought biden was going to pick a black woman? 😂😂😂😂

I heard she was born in Canada.

Maybe include in this tweet that its a dumb ass lie!?

Old tricks. Are Anericabs this stupid to fall for this again.

How he lies. Lord how he lies. I guess Oakland, CA isn’t in America now? Yo, citizens of Oakland? Are you Americans? Not according to that thing in our White House. KamalaHarris WeGotHerBack BidenHarris2020

Here, I did your job for you, you hacks. Stop signal boosting this shit.

She was born in California unless you have evidence to the contrary your just spreading racist conspiracy theories

Why presumptive?

And you're perpetuating it.

Of course... the most racist human on earth will claim that a African American/Indian American WOMAN isn’t going to meet the qualifications in some fashion. 😐

He said he had no idea if that is right. How does that amplify it when they asked the question. NPR used to be honest...

Don't give this birther crap airtime. dumptrump2020

what the actual hell- why is it everytime a non white person is running for high office they question where they were born to make them seem illegitimate?

So is he questioning a California birth certificate now? Maybe he needs a reminder that there are 50 states (and multiple territories) in the Union and California and Hawaii both a part of it.

Not this fucking racist crap again.

And instead of publishing a story you should have stayed silent!! You KNOW it’s false but give it time anyway!!!!

Hang on! HE was asked the question and HE said He didn't know the answer. How else is HE supposed to answer it? Talk about baiting the man and then making up your own accusations! What has happened to people today!

Says the man who bought his wife an Einstein visa.

NPR is spreading birther conspiracies.

‘I have no idea if that’s right’ says Trump in response to a reporter mentioning the story. But the media today reports that Trump is promoting a birther theory. As an independent apolitical person I can always see how left and right media spins and lies.

Trump is half-Scottish and 1/4 whatever German. Why doesn't anyone ever question HIS antecedents? He is a disgusting human being and any American who votes for him in November needs to have a good hard look at themselves.

If trump doesn’t know how our elections work, he shouldn’t be in office.

You'd think Trump would celebrate having something in common with Harris - both their mothers were immigrants to the USA!

Such nonsense

It's only a matter of time until realDonaldTrump says Kamala is a N****r.

PlayingStupid is his favorite go to, FeedConspiracies and HaveAnAlibi all at the same time.... Pathetic BitchboysDoThatShit

What is unclear about what he said? The DNC would have done the vetting

Trump's base is willing to buy whatever BS he's selling. The more outrageous, the more they believe.

Please refute this outright instead of giving any headline with Trump's overt ridiculous racist birtherism lies. Stop mouthing Trump's propaganda. We need more from you NPR!

He also said he thought that the Democrats wouldn’t have put her forward if she wasn’t eligible & that the claim came from a top lawyer.

Is she a DACA

kenjeong Since tRump always projects his shortcomings, crimes, and inadequacies onto others, perhaps we need to see his birth certificate and verify its authenticity.

country of immigrants debate which immigrants are ok whilst original indigenous population have a genocide committed against them to ensure immigrants can rule. What a mess.

“I heard today”. Usual shit from the Liar in Chief. He drops this in and his moronic followers immediately take it as fact and so the campaign begins. “I heard today” that Trump is not fit for office. TrumpIsALaughingStock

I made this to help him.

I heard today that Trump doesn't meet the requirements. His presidency is illegal. He needs to return the salary, the cost of his golf trips, the cost of supporting his family and friends to us and move out of the WH immediately.

Let’s be honest. 45 challenges Senator Harris’s citizenship status because she is a Black woman and he is a racist misogynist. “Birther” is a ridiculous word. He is a RACIST.

Why even publish this nonsense? Aren’t you all smarter than this?

'The Democrat was born in California and therefore qualifies for the job. ' Put that in your tweet. Do better, npr

So we have now got the 2020 version of Obama's birth certificate thing. Ugh.

Republicans clearly feel threatened by Kamala Harris.

Ugh! Here we go again with this playbook

Requirements met. HarrisBiden2020 BidenHarris2020

Watched the press briefing media explained about article written !!!

KamalaHarris Easy in the Bed Sheets will do Seductive favors for a way up the Latter BedSheetsHarris WillieBrown

Trump is a racist.

Birtherism 2.0 How orginal 🙄

Ok this rumor started when she was running for President. He didn't start it. Maybe the media could have done a better job in the beginning.

'I have no Idea if that's right' Maybe check then you thick as shit goon.

Please. Don't amplify this bullbs from the LiarInChief

Here goes the classic Trump's 'I heard someone told me...' and 'A lot of people are saying...' 🙄

I listened to the Pres Trump press conference. He was very clear he didn't know the situation and gave no opinion on her birth. Another example of mainstream media twisting the Pres words.

Wait, who’s amplifying? The first and only I’ve heard of this ya from - you.

Ahhh, the master of “I-don’t-know-I-just-heard-people-are-saying”. GTFOH with that garbage, trump!

Omg people! He never said she wasn't eligible

It's like the whole republican side of things is made up of Wendy Wrights. You just can't reason with people like this. 'Here's evidence of her birth.' Birthers 'Yes, but where's the evidence? Show me the evidence.' 'I just did.' Birthers 'I know, but where's the evidence?

Why are you repeating his lies without challenging them in the fucking tweet?

For 'Birther' read 'Racist'.

This again. But Trump supporters will Saal low this whole.

realDonaldTrump Birther How Trump works: 'Trump’s theory of life, business and politics revolved around threats and the prospect of destruction—financial, electoral, personal, physical—as a weapon'. M Cohen

Stop quoting Trump in the headline an call out his lies.

Here we go again

Bwahaha 😈

That's the problem! realDonaldTrump has NO idea about anything!

Garbage lead. We have enough of that. We count on you to do better.

why repeat & amplify his bs?

NBC got it right. Maybe check out their headline.

Of course. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. How do you think he got so immediately popular with the flag-wavers? (No, not *those* flag-wavers, not the Stars'n'Stripes folks, but that other flag). But I gotta agree with beckster54 -- CALL OUT THE LIE IN YOUR TWEET AND HEADLINE!

If anyone believes this they are racist.

Please let’s not go down this road again. I heard it was washed out and is now a dead end Street. WeShallKnowTheTruthAndTheTruthShallMakeUsFree.

Both Kamala and Biden are such hollow characters. What were the Democrats thinking with these two?

FakeNews didn't happen.

Building conspiracy among his supporters. That’s what he is doing now.

Why bother no one likes her

Anchor babies are not natural born they are called something else. They can run for office but NEVER b President. It's so Pelosi can b president. Vote red!

Trump never mentally met the requirements and it’s never been right... He’s had cognitive decline since the first election

Why do you even repeat nonsense! Gosh! please focus on facts.

But trump “heard today” that she doesn’t qualify so it must be true. Were “many people saying” it? Did you hear from a “very credible” source donald?

Top elected official says 'I have no idea', because knowing the constitution isn't part of his job.

You can do better than this. Why don't you stick to challenging her policies in the economy, crime, pandemic etc?

The headline SHOULD read 'Trump Once Again Spreads Racist, Birther Propaganda.' Don't give this BS oxygen. Did you not learn anything from 2016? MESSAGINGMATTERS TrumpIsARacist

He was asked the question...and he said he didn't know...lol...'amplify'...the reporter amplified it by asking him.

smhSMH 🤦🏽‍♀️ not this crap again....

Trump is a pig of a man. Stop making him sound like he makes sense and is sane in any way.

The only “people are saying” and “I heard it today” ploy to avoid any personal accountability. We’ve heard this many times before. 💩🤡🇺🇸

Same song, second verse. The dude needs a new playlist.

Well to be honest she is not white and Trump wouldn't be taken seriously by all our racist, white nationalists if he doesn't send a strong signal the he shares the same values and is their candidate

Yeppers. He heard it from a good ol boy.

I'm sorry, but NPR, if anyone, should not amplify this corrupt voice!!

So desperate

NPR, you're not helping. Tell your readers up front that this 'question' of Harris's citizenship has no basis in fact. Put it in the headline, put it in the excerpt. Have we learned nothing?

She born a man too

Where does he hear all these things? The voice in his head?

Guess he forgot that it did not work the first time around!

Here's my question NPR. Her father is Jamaican, her mother is Indian. Where does her being called African American come from? She is being pedelled as something she is not. Why? What's the game?

Here we go

Mr. Trump has spoken a truthful phrase: “I have no idea...” This is correct.

Well they say she was born in America on her way to Canada. Anchor baby? Maybe, but still eligible!

Someone please tell don the con having a penis isn't a job requirement!

He is such a psycho.

That is literally signature trump. 'I heard she performs satanic rituals but that's just what I hear, who knows if it's true. But yeah.....satanic rituals'

Please give this DJT Hail Mary effort oxygen; don’t aide him by in his deception!

Birtherism is racism.

Seriously -call out this dangerous and blatant LIE in your Headline! Don’t help perpetuate this garbage again!

TDS abounds. Can’t even read an absolute guote.

Wow. The truth. I am shocked.

That’s music for every single racist white “American” ears.!!! It’s all about hate, what a lack of class and leadership and humanity in this country... shit...!!

Same ploy as when Obama was in office. He’s a racist.

Please inform Pumpkin that CA is a part of the U.S. Pumpkin didn't meet the requirements but he ended up in the WH anyway. The bar is very low, however, Biden/Harris are far above the bar. Pumpkin and the rest of his cronies need to fill out change of address forms now. OUT!

He is the president that every single “American” deserves.!

racist nazi lover, sexual predator rips families apart at border. Friend with pedophile/sex traffickers. homophobic VP. gross incompetence killed more Americans with Covid than 9/11. Trump = not qualified. Trump = domestic terrorist. Put out the white trash on 11/3!

Desperation.......

Trump proved that anyone can get on the ballot. 😑 So I’m certain she’s over qualified for VP! 😆😆😆👍🇺🇸

The only African-American DNA that woman ever had came from Willie Brown.

This is why realDonaldTrump calls out fake news. He did not bring this up as the headline and story say. He was asked a question by a reporter. Listen to the audio, this was asked. He even said, why would the Dems pick her if true?

He’s right, he has no idea.

I think Trump has forgotten where his mother came from. Senile dementia is a terrible thing.

MSNBC Trump and Pence are afraid of Sen Harris. She will crash them in the debate. VoteBidenHarrisToSaveAmerica

'I heard it today that she doesn't meet the requirements. I have no idea where I am or what day of the week it is” Fixed it for you. sundowner

Oh come on, he was just giving her a compliment. She doesn’t look a day over 34? 🤷‍♀️

I saw that coming !!!

Cowards, they have nothing to attack Senator Harris so here we go again with the birth certificate BS again

And Kanye West does? STFU

Why give his disgusting racist comment air?

A lot of people have been saying that realDonaldTrump is a racist degenerate.

Did he miss elementary school? Seriously. And he’s the president 😬

Stop it, N.P.R. You know what the bigger press conference take-away was? A reporter actually dared to call out the President on his thousands of lies. Then there was no follow-up when he predictably ignored the question.

I hope people can see that he does this on purpose, to distract you and make you do the work of his witch-hunt. It’s one of this con-man’s greatest tricks.

I'm sure we'll be listening to this birther crap all the way to the election ! Vote Biden/Harris 2020 !

AARRGGGHHHH! BIRTHERISM

I followed this because y’all put out a real article one would describe as journalism a few days back. That was short lived as this article is On par with Buzzfeed, TeenVogue, TMZ, inquirer Rag tabloid shit wiper level. This article was the most useless minute of my whole life.

via GIPHY

Bcause he’s an habitual liar.....

This is not even worth a thought, less a tweet

How would he have no idea if that’s right? What an stupid lie to tell

Racist bigot. Not cool and not true.

So she's been attorney general and senator all this time under false pretenses. How stupid are repugs

“I have no idea if that’s right” the motto of the Trump administration

She is an anchor baby.

Stop calling it a 'birther' conspiracy. That only legitimizes the term. It's a racist conspiracy put forth once again by the RacistInChief.

This is why I stopped listening to npr

Hey npr nprgreene nprscottsimon inskeep this is NOT ok. Please get a tweet quote policy in place fast & do not be a party to distributing this kind of crap without countering it IN the tweet. I expect a much higher standard from you.

Was Trump ‘s mother born in the USA? ?

Come on NPR seriously? You should do better than repeating this sh*t

Nobody can be selected as a VP candidate if they’re not eligible to be president. I assume that was checked before the selection. I know this because of the conspiracy theory about Obama being the pick, he couldn’t be because he’s not eligible to be president ever again

How about if we (you) don’t amplify his idiocy— this shouldn’t make the news. Ignore ... otherwise he keeps saying things over and over until 35% of Americans think they’re true

Why do you tweet his quote w/o noting that he’s wrong?

It's NOT right...STOP COVERING THIS

Absolutely disgraceful

DO BETTER .! Don't quote this garbage without the context of the lie in the headline!

Trump is so fearful of her. coward

God, he's pathetic.

realDonaldTrump If it is coming from you, then, no, it’s never right. TrumpNeverRight covidiots

Birtherism Part II

Just another distraction from the Trump presidential shit show. Don't let this be what is talked about.

'I heard....' This idiot in the WH, he always 'heard' something. Someone tell him to STFU & do some actual research.

When Harris ran for president, similar claims about her citizenship and eligibility circulated the time, Laurence Tribe, a professor of constitutional law at Harvard Law School, condemned the notion. 14thAmendment

NPR - Why are you letting Trump play you as the fool ( )? You repeat the BS quote in your sound bite, and most people won’t read further. Trump has been playing the media this way since the 1980’s, and so far CNN seems to be one of the few major outlets to avoid the trap.

He’s a total idiot

She's flip flopped on so many issues it's not even funny. Look it up if you think I'm joking. She's EVIL and will take ANY position to advance herself. Hell...she basically called Biden a predator...and now she's kissing his butt.... hypocrisy x 10

Lead with the truth, not the lie!!! Your continued failure to inform the public rather than parrot trump lies is harming our country! MEDIA DO BETTER

I heard he has no heart. I know for a fact that’s right. RepublicansForBiden

Kamala Harris was born in Oakland, California in the county of Alameda. 55 years old.

I almost can't imagine worse reporting, categorically: **Never** uncritically megaphone disinformation, LEADING WITH THE LIE in headlines, and only imply (!) that it's not true.

realDonaldTrump You seem to hear and repeat many things that are not right. Only one thing is correct in your statement: 'I have no idea...'🖕🏼

So why are you amplifying it!?!?

Your tweet should include facts not just misleading info.

Such terrible biased coverage. Headline could just as easily be “Some questions about Biden’s VP pick being eligible are surfacing”

Why are you repeating the lies this POS keeps putting out there?

npr spreading Racist lies again for realDonaldTrump. FYI -

He shows his taxes, she shows her birth certificate. Problem solved.

If you have no idea if its true you have an obligation to not mention it Mr President, but you know exactly what you are doing. Stoking the flames of racism that still are the deep rooted under belly of this nation.

Trump lies and why would JoeBiden pick KamalaHarris to be his VP if she didn’t qualify ? Newsflash he wouldn’t

She should come back and say : 'Show me your Tax docs and I'll show you my certificate' 😅

NPR, do better than this! This is not news!

realDonaldTrump is a Racist Fascist! Full Stop! KamalaForever!

Better stop repeating trump's lies.

Please don’t give this any attention. He loves to set little fires for reporters to get distracted. Don’t give it air! stopthemadness

rehash of an old trick. total lack of creativity and imagination. no wonder our country is screwed up.

Again trump threw out a statement he knows is entirely false, a lie, but the media is doing his bidding by repeating it over and over directly to his base.

Wonder why.....

Trump dog whistle inuendo for Kamala Harris doesn’t meet “his” standards. The timeline for him blurting out the expected “but she’s black” plainly without innuendo is rapidly accelerating. GOP already going full tilt birther on her. Shameful.

'Requirements' a conscience should be the first on the list. Of which he has none.

That was quick.

'I have no idea.' - President Donald J. Trump

Newsweek should be ashamed for publishing this drivel.

I'd call him a child but that's insulting to children. He's disgusting.

Is she the presumptive nominee or the nominee?

Re: the tweet and title of the article, it’s not too late to delete and rephrase. y’all are a little too neutral sometimes. Especially considering that this is an outright lie

Hahahaha insane

Why do all black, brown, “other” people come from somewhere else in their phucked up minds?

stop it. Repeating his lies without the headline clearly stating it’s a lie is shameful.

RacismDog

Same old crap, like when Trumpski questioned Obama's citizenship.

Stones, glass houses...

Come on - Trump is gaslighting. You need to start calling that shit out.

Shane on NPR! Write your headlines in a way that doesn't propagate his propaganda. 'Trump And His Campaign Amplify Birther Lie Against Kamala Harris'.

The people who believe this special kind of crazy aren’t “swing voters” So whatever.

Do better NPR. Don’t repeat the lie.

You should say he falsely claims.....

Fuck you, Don.

this doesn’t even deserve converse. I can’t with realDonaldTrump and the “birther” shit. he didn’t even make his own money IN the USA🙄inheritance

why are you not calling it racist? white corporate media, we already went through this. birtherism = racism.

Maybe stop reporting this bullshit. Seriously. k_harris0613

Maybe he’s talking about his wife

So same exact old playbook as before. Never would have quested. Snooze fest.

Dios Mío, OMG—STOP THE MADNESS! Please stop giving this coverage.

He needs to stop talking

Why are you sharing these garbage statements without challenging them?😡 The media is doing 2016 all over again.

When they only question the birthrights of Black people, it isn't 'birther' it is racist. State it like it is. Do better NPR

How original (note racist) of him.

To non-American citizen parents. Birthright citizenship is not a thing.

We will let the courts decide on whether a Anchor baby can be Vice President.

She is anti-gun, pro-illegal immigration, pro-abortion on-demand and socialized medicine.

RepBost RepShimkus RepAnnWagner HawleyMO RoyBlunt you need to find the nearest camera ...make a tik-tok or something and SHUT THIS DOWN. DENOUNCE THE IDEA that Sen. Harris 'does not meet the requirements' to serve as Vice President. The very idea is un-American.

Worn out record - bring back the birther rhetoric.

An easy to read thread:

Bahahahhaha, wow. Again, eh? Insane.

So all African Americans were born elsewhere in Trump’s world?

**** me if you're a Republican please tell me why this crap works on you.

Love how he’ll act as if he’s repeating something told to him, yet NEVER can repeat facts’ (cuz somehow only facts are written down.) Just never has them ‘handy’. this is like a Level:5yrOld lie. transparent on this one. Level:2yrOld babbles nonsensically

I heard it today that Trump is a racist and a one-trick pony. I have no idea if that's right

realDonaldTrump is worse than I expected, and I expected the worst. God help us.

Have an expert discuss about implicitbias of Trump & others

realDonaldTrump Haven’t we heard this before..oh, yea...Obama’s birth certificate. Lol....get new material.

Shame on every news outlet that tweets this declaration as if it had merit. Screw you and your endless pursuit of clickable propaganda. Appalling.

You’ve had since 2008 to figure out how to do this right. You’ve failed.

realDonaldTrump you are surviving everyday by lying your way through everything. November will be your final days to lie and then you’re finished KamalaHarris You’re the one born outside of USA - you’re German, right ?

Every story should start with Racist President Trump said... Or President Racist tRump said...

The headline needs to say that it’s a lie or you’re spreading a lie

Stop helping him amplify this by misconstruing this as news. Not everything Trump says is news or worthy of repeating. Learn from 2016. You do not need to respond to everything.

Kamala Harris—Joe Biden’s official 2020 running mate— “nasty” and “mean,” but he must not have thought she was so bad when he donated $6,000 to her re-election campaign.\n And he’s friends with Kanye.

Trump Adds Another Knockout Nickname For Kamala Harris To List After Making Mark Meadows CryWASHINGTON—Appearing to relish the wounded look on his chief of staff’s face, President Donald Trump reportedly added another sensational nickname for Democratic vice-presidential pick Kamala Harris to his list Wednesday after the devastating sobriquet succeeded in making Mark Meadows cry. “That’s it, that’s the one,” said Trump, who according to sources reached for a nearby memo pad to write down the prospective nickname after Meadows burst into tears and stormed out of the room upon being called Mark the Misfit. “That hurt him pretty good. The man even begged me to stop. I liked Bogus Mark, too, but he didn’t cry for that one until I slapped him. So maybe we go with Kamala the Misfit. Or ’Mala the Misfit? Does that still work? I just wish I could get something with a C or K.” At press time, sources confirmed a frowning Trump was trying to remember if the word “charismatic” was supposed to be a good or bad thing.\n Hairy Harris... KooKoo Kamala... what could it be? Never Forget Bernt That Kamala Harris is just awful. Making men cry is not good. Not good at all. Thank you for bringing to light her character.
