A lot of suspect accounts are pushing the “Kamala Harris is not Black” narrative tonight. It’s everywhere and it has all the signs of being a coordinated/artificial operation. #DemDebate2

1. Yuck. This is going to be one nasty election cycle.

Can we come back from all the damage wrought by Trump's band of racists and the Russian enablers?

3. Well, Orange Julius sternly* told Putin to not meddle in 2020 election

...and by "sternly", I mean he did it with a wink.

2. Jesus H Christ

I hate those fuckers. I hate them.

4. How weird...

… she's one of my Senators and I honestly never thought about what she was... White, Black, Hispanic... like her, whatever … only when she began running for President, did the media start mentioning this... most of my Los Angeles friends never thought about it! I think "indeterminate" is a strength. I guess this is an effort to diminish her support among African-Americans? Very sad...

5. I am glad to see this outed in this way.

Content on Harris is disgusting. Good job on anyone who finds sets of political attacks and outs them - Trump’s funds will largely go to efforts like this.

6. We have to hit back at

Trump and his Russian trolls with brass knuckles. And use their tactics such as framing statements as questions: Is Donald Trump a Russian asset on Putin's payroll? The qualifiers "some say" and "it's been widely reported" to spread vicious rumors about Repubics. Republicans made these rules and we must play by them or learn to speak Russian.

7. this comes up anytime she gets positive attention. it goes down when she is not in the news

and not that high in the polls.

[Frustratedlady]

8. Is this going to turn into another birther/birth certificate fiasco?

This campaign season is going to be much worse than 2016. I can actually feel the bad vibes and don't like it one bit.

[TreasonousBastard]

9. Sure does. Same shit they tried on Obama-- attacking his ethnicity...

Get whites to run away because she's black, and blacks to run away she's not "black enough".

Swiftboating reaches new lows.

10. They're counting on idiots not knowing that people in Jamaica are predominantly

of African ancestry.

[luvs2sing]

12. Exactly this. n/t

13. Trying to kill two birds with one stone. They know folks will think it came from Biden camp.

[JI7]

14. no, it's obviously russian, right wing bot trolls. this stuff came up even before the debate

when she announced and anytime she gets positive attention.

[demmiblue]

15. What a strange reply.

[NastyRiffraff]

17. "Folks" who would think that are morons

It's clearly a Russian operation. Nobody sane would think it came from the Biden side.

[peggysue2]

16. This is foul and smells like the disinformation . . .

we've all experienced before--deliberate smears about race, about racial attitudes, anything and everything to create tension and stress between voters, Democratic voters specifically.

We've seen and heard this before. Needs to be pushed back whenever the attacks happen and (even better) ferret out the source. Which is definitely not friendly, not in American interests.

[MineralMan]

18. There's gonna be a lot of shitposting out there.

I'm not sure we need to see all of it, frankly.

Ugh!
