lionherat, my jaw has dropped at that tripe from Newsweek attempting a birtherism attack on Harris. Partly because I'd have thought it beneath Newsweek, but more because of what it says about the psyche of some Americans.
This isn't a generic accusation of the sort all Presidential candidates face; and it isn't an accusation specific to Harris (Obama faced the same). It looks an awful lot like some Americans "just know" in their guts that people of colour are not American; certainly not American enough to be President.
To the point that when a person of colour so much as stands for vice-President, they "know" she's not eligible and start casting around for feeble justifications for their gut "knowledge". Newsweek's feeble post-facto attempt at justifying the attack, in a subsequent editorial, just digs them in deeper.
I've paused before posting the above, because repetition of fake news and slurs in order to rebut them, boosts them just the same. But given what we know about Trumpies, I reckon this one will be promoted heavily anyway, and I'd rather call it what it is right out of the gate.
