A website claiming to be a local San Francisco news outlet named KBSF-TV published a baseless claim on Monday alleging that Vice President Kamala Harris was involved in a June 2011 hit-and-run incident that left a 13-year-old girl paralyzed. Harris was California’s attorney general at the time, and has been a longtime Bay Area resident.
Analysis of the article and site indicate the story is false; public records and news reports show no evidence of the hit-and-run incident. The San Francisco Police Department told CBS News that they could not find records of the incident. A CBS News analysis of a video that accompanied the article found it contained several photos from other unrelated news stories.
Despite this, the story spread widely on social media before the site disappeared. Posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, that featured the article and video amassed more than 7 million views, and the story was also shared on Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. Pro-Russian channels on Telegram, the popular messaging app European officials are investigating for alleged criminal activity on the platform, also shared the story and video.
A news site masquerading as legit?
So……………Fox News?
Imagine that… it spread widely on X before being taken down.
I just saw a text on my moms phone, stating Kamala was paying to have Trump put in jail.
Is she the sort of person who falls for crap like that? If so, I’m sorry you have to put up with it.
Yep. Full maga.
My condolences. Have you ever collected a list of her forwarded predictions and claims, and shown her all the ones that didn’t turn out to be true?
Same thing happened to a sitting city council member in Portland, except that story was leaked by the head of the police union.
If it’s effective, why don’t certain people just start publishing stories about Trump secretly supporting abortion rights and performing abortions himself for fun? He really grabs these women by the pussy.
Because evidence doesn’t matter to his base. They don’t believe anything negative about him, all of it is lies. Likewise they believe everything bad about his enemies.
Their beliefs are not rational. They are based entirely on emotion, not facts or reason. And they hold those beliefs so strongly that they identify as part of themselves. That belief cannot be shaken, because it means that part of them was wrong as well, and that couldn’t possibly be right. They would have to actually self-reflect, and they’re incapable of that.
KBSF-TV
That’s fucking funny. Silly humans
