Kamala Harris Sets New Record in Debate Lies: 29 False Claims in 90 Minutes, NBC Reports

In a recent political showdown that left fact-checkers reeling, Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly shattered records during her debate with former President Donald Trump. According to NBC’s fact-checking team, Harris managed to accumulate a staggering 29 false statements in just 90 minutes, a feat that left even seasoned analysts marveling at her political acrobatics.

NBC’s fact-checkers, equipped with their signature “Lie-O-Meter,” faced an unexpected challenge as Harris’s responses began to strain the system. “We’ve covered countless debates, but this was something else,” remarked one NBC fact-checker, noting that the machine began to overheat halfway through Harris’s first response.

The first instance of deception, according to NBC, came when Harris claimed, “The Biden administration has single-handedly saved America from a recession.” While the statement was delivered with confidence, NBC quickly pointed out that the claim was an exaggeration, given the ongoing economic issues, including inflation.

As the debate continued, Harris’s use of misdirection became increasingly apparent. Whether addressing Trump’s rally sizes or environmental policies, she demonstrated a unique ability to stretch the truth. “By the end of the debate, viewers probably didn’t know what was true anymore,” one NBC analyst observed. Harris’s debate strategy was simple: when faced with a tough question, she would pivot with personal attacks or irrelevant anecdotes, leaving the original question unanswered.

One prime example of this came when she was asked about her stance on fracking during her 2019 presidential campaign. Rather than addressing the question, Harris switched topics to a story about not taking handouts from her wealthy father. NBC fact-checkers verified the personal story, but noted that it had no relevance to the topic at hand.

Perhaps Harris’s most notable moment came during a heated exchange on abortion. As Trump struggled with his answer on Roe v. Wade, Harris seized the opportunity to accuse him of pushing “Trump abortion bans” across the country. NBC’s fact-checkers were quick to clarify that no such bans existed.

“Her ability to fabricate entirely new terms and present them as established facts is remarkable,” noted an NBC analyst.

While Harris led the night in falsehoods, Trump was not far behind, contributing his own share of “alternative facts.” From defending the size of his rally crowds to discussing outlandish stories involving immigrants and pets, Trump kept fact-checkers busy. However, NBC’s final tally revealed that Trump had only made 15 false claims compared to Harris’s 29.

“It was like watching two different games,” one NBC analyst commented. “Trump was playing checkers, while Harris was playing chess.”

Viewers and political commentators were quick to react on social media. “Did Kamala just say Trump banned all abortions? I’m confused,” one Twitter user posted, echoing the confusion felt by many.

Others were left questioning the entire event. “Was this a debate or performance art? I’m not even sure what’s real anymore,” another user tweeted.

Despite NBC’s detailed fact-checking report, the Harris campaign remained unfazed. A spokesperson for the campaign embraced the idea of Harris’s creative approach to the truth, calling it a sign of her adaptability and ability to connect with voters.

“Politics is about storytelling,” the spokesperson explained. “Sometimes you need to adjust the facts to convey the bigger message. Kamala is great at that.”

When asked about the 29 lies attributed to Harris, the spokesperson laughed. “Twenty-nine? That’s it? Honestly, that’s low for a political debate. I think she could’ve gone for 30.”

As political debates become less about facts and more about narrative-building, Kamala Harris’s performance stands out. Whether voters will reward her for her ability to craft a compelling narrative—or punish her for bending the truth—remains to be seen. For now, one thing is clear: Harris has set a new standard in the art of political deception.
