Vice President Kamala Harris has always had a knack for irony that would make a stand-up comedian envious. In 2019, she blasted social media companies for their supposed lack of oversight and regulation, implying a need for more authoritarian control to combat “disinformation.” Fast forward to today, and the same campaign that once championed curbing the so-called spread of misinformation is now embroiled in its web of deceit. Ironically, the exposure comes courtesy of none other than CNN, which has somehow transformed into a moral arbiter in this saga.
CNN’s Daniel Dale, who appears to have taken a break from pandering to the left, laid bare the blatant hypocrisy of the Kamala campaign, revealing the dire deception emanating from the @KamalaHQ account on X (formerly known as Twitter). This account, boasting over 1.3 million followers, has been caught red-handed clipping and mislabeling videos to hurl falsehoods at former President Donald Trump. Apparently, it’s easier to peddle political propaganda than to have an honest dialogue—who would have thought?

CNN Destroys Kamala Harris Campaign For Spreading Disinformation on Social Media
A social media account run by VP Kamala Harris’ campaign has been repeatedly deceptive," observed CNN's Daniel Dale. "The @KamalaHQ account, which has more than 1.3 million…

Dale illustrated this disinformation spree by highlighting several deceptive posts that spun reality into a carnival of lies. In one example, Harris’ campaign suggested that Trump was lost at a Pennsylvania rally, based on a clip where he mentioned North Carolina. What they conveniently left out was that he was simply acknowledging his North Carolina supporters. In Arizona, they attempted to lead viewers to believe he was confused about his surroundings again when he was actually focusing on immigration issues pertinent to Pennsylvania. Such flagrant obfuscation raises the question: is Kamala Harris’ campaign actually a shadowy theater of the absurd?
As if that wasn’t enough, the campaign also misrepresented Senator JD Vance’s stance on veterans’ healthcare, crafting a narrative that he supported privatization without including his actual advocacy for flexibility while preserving federal care. This selective editing doesn’t just mislead; it reveals a level of desperation that one might expect from second-rate operatives rather than seasoned political players. Misquoting fellow candidates, distorting Trump’s tax plans by ignoring his broader tax-cut proposals, and trying to tie unrelated comments to Project 2025 merely adds to the laundry list of inaccuracies.
This tactic of employing disinformation is not new for the Biden administration and its allies. The strategy is clear: use misleading clips and half-truths to mold public perception, all while shouting from the rooftops about the dangers of misinformation. One has to question if this is how things look when the tables are turned. The venomous irony is delicious, but it’s questionable whether Harris and her team see the humor—or if they even care.
In the grand scheme, this latest revelation not only underscores the double standards that have become commonplace in today’s political climate but also serves as a reminder to discerning citizens about the lengths to which candidates will go to secure their power. The truth behind Kamala Harris is being meticulously picked apart, and for those keeping track, it’s extra servings of irony with a side of hypocrisy.
