The claim that Vice President Kamala Harris wore ‘audio earrings’ during a presidential debate is false. A Facebook post showed side-by-side photos of Harris’ ear during the debate and a pair of earrings that were claimed to double as wireless communication devices, suggesting she was being coached. However, there is no credible evidence to support this claim. The earrings Harris wore did not match the model referenced in the post, and there is no evidence that they contained audio transmitters.
The earrings Harris wore during the debate were identified as a discontinued style from Tiffany & Co., and she had worn similar earrings at previous events. The post also referenced electronic earrings from a German company, Icebach Sound Solutions, but these earrings were not actually available for purchase and did not match the ones Harris wore.
Using an earpiece to communicate with anyone during the debate would have violated rules that prohibit interactions with campaign staff during commercial breaks. Similar false claims were made about President Joe Biden in 2020. The Harris campaign declined to comment on the claim.
In conclusion, there is no evidence to support the claim that Kamala Harris wore ‘audio earrings’ during the presidential debate, and the post making this assertion is false.
