Trump campaign’s misleading attack on Harris’s stance on crime: A closer look

In a recent campaign post, the Trump campaign used misleading information and racist tropes to attack Senator Kamala Harris on crime. The post falsely claimed that Harris supports defunding the police, a claim that has been debunked multiple times by fact-checkers. Additionally, the post featured a racist trope by using an image of Harris alongside the phrase “Joe Biden’s 2020 running mate.”

This tactic is just the latest example in a long line of falsehoods and lies spread by the Trump campaign. From claiming widespread voter fraud without evidence to promoting harmful conspiracy theories, the President’s narcissistic lying poses a serious threat to democracy. The constant dissemination of misinformation erodes trust in our institutions and undermines the very foundation of our democratic system. [Source: The Washington Post]
