This garbage appeared on a FB page I saw. These folks are desperate! Reminds me of a screaming toddler.
"Kamala touts herself to be African American 😠 What a fake. She is as African as Pocahontas Warren was Apache. Kamalas dad is Jamaican and his dad was a Jamaican slave owner. Her mother is a Caucasian from India. Call Kamala Jar Jar Binks- the Jamaican character in Star Wars. Neither of her parents were a US citizen at the time of her birth. Thus she may be a so-called anchor baby which, some would argue disqualifies her to become president. If Biden dies, the presidency may go to speaker of the house: Pelosi."
none of this makes any sense at all.

I wanted to show my fellow DUes what we'll have to work against. Please don't suspect my Democratic creds. Been supporting Democrats since Truman! I stood outside a polling place at the age of five and yelled "phooy on Dewey" Mom was a Democratic polling judge.

(12,712 posts)Those kinds of comments are like screaming in an echo chamber. It says a lot about the panic they are in, but who is going to be convinced by that kind of insubstantial hair on fire rambling?
The people who already think that way, (QAnon and low info) will agree wholeheartedly as if it's gospel truth, (pun intended) and the rest of us will find it totally incredulous.
People who find that non-stop spew plausible are already people in that sad batch of compromised dopes who are totally immersed in the dense jungle of their confirmation bias. The circus posters on their walls are taken for real.

(10,125 posts)Under the 14th Amendment's Naturalization Clause and the Supreme Court case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship. This type of citizenship is referred to as birthright citizenship.
