One tweet, circulated by far-right user Matthew Wallace on X, shows a black and white photo of a young woman from a side profile who the user claims to be Kamala Harris in the 1980s as a sex worker in New York City. UK-based fact checking agency, Logically Facts, tracked the photo to Matt Weber, a renowned street photographer in 1988. He told the agency that he considers it a "pathetic reach". At the time, Harris was attending the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, where she graduated in 1989, according to a press release from the college. Logically Facts believes it "is highly improbable" that the potential Democratic nominee "was simultaneously involved in sex work in New York". Read more

On March 24, 2021, Axios published a story with the headline "Biden Puts Harris in Charge of Border Crisis." Politics reporter Stef W. Kight informed us that the vice president would be "addressing the migrant surge at the U.S.-Mexico border" and that Harris would "lead efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle (Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador) to manage the flow of unaccompanied children and migrant families arriving at the border in numbers not seen since a surge in 2019."
