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
