A social media account managed by Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, known as “Kamala HQ,” has come under scrutiny for posting misleading and out-of-context video clips of former President Donald Trump.

According to reports from CNN and other media outlets, the account, which is active on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, has shared several video clips that have been described as “deceptively edited” to portray Trump in a negative light.

The account @KamalaHQ, which serves as Harris’s official rapid response page, has over 1.3 million followers on X and is designed to highlight controversial or inaccurate comments made by Trump and his team.

However, fact-checkers at CNN have found at least eight examples of misleading posts from the account since mid-August.

These examples include videos that misrepresent Trump’s speeches, leading to accusations that the Harris campaign is engaging in deceptive tactics.

One of the misleading posts shared by @KamalaHQ on August 17 showed Trump speaking at a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

The clip suggested that Trump was confused about his location when he addressed the audience, with the accompanying text reading, “Donald Trump is lost and confused.” In the video, Trump is seen gesturing toward a section of the crowd and saying, “Would that be ok, North Carolina? I don’t think so, right.”

The post implied that Trump had mistakenly referred to North Carolina while speaking in Pennsylvania.

However, a full review of the footage revealed that Trump was addressing a group from North Carolina who had attended the rally.

Earlier in his speech, Trump had acknowledged the presence of this group, known as the “Front Row Joes,” who have attended hundreds of his rallies.

When Trump War Room, a social media account run by Trump’s team, responded to the misleading post, it clarified that Trump’s remarks were directed at his North Carolina supporters in the crowd, not a mix-up in his location.

The post read, “Wrong again, moron. President Trump was obviously referring to the Front Row Joes from North Carolina in the audience, whom he recognized earlier in his speech.”

Another misleading video posted by KamalaHQ occurred during a Trump rally in Tucson, Arizona. The clip showed Trump saying, “So Pennsylvania, remember this when you have to go to vote.”

The Harris campaign suggested in the post that Trump had once again forgotten where he was speaking.

However, the full context of Trump’s remarks revealed that he was referencing Pennsylvania while discussing the impact of increased Haitian migration in a specific town in the state.

The clipped video had removed the context in which Trump spoke about a 2,000 percent increase in Haitian migrants in a small Pennsylvania town.

The Harris campaign has faced additional criticism for posting edited clips of Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance.

In one post shared on August 29, KamalaHQ shared a clip of Vance saying, “Democrats want to attack Republicans as being anti-union and sometimes the shoe fits.”

However, the full clip shows that Vance’s complete statement was, “A lot of Democrats want to attack Republicans as being anti-union and sometimes the shoe fits — but not me, and not Donald Trump.”

The misleading edit altered the intended meaning of Vance’s remarks, prompting backlash from critics.

The Harris campaign defended the posts, claiming that the clips were accurate representations of the individuals’ statements.

In response to CNN’s fact-check, the campaign stated that the post about Vance was a “direct quote” and was meant to highlight that some Republicans have a history of being anti-union.

Despite this defense, critics argue that the misleading posts are an attempt by the Harris campaign to discredit Trump and his allies by portraying them as confused or out of touch, particularly when it comes to their age and remarks made during public appearances.

An account called @KamalaHQLies has emerged to counter the misleading content from @KamalaHQ, highlighting the false and deceptive narratives being pushed by the Harris campaign.

As the 2024 presidential race intensifies, the use of social media to shape public perception remains a contentious issue.

Both Trump and Harris continue to use online platforms to engage with voters, but the accuracy of the content being shared is increasingly under the spotlight.
