WASHINGTON — Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, shared another person’s tweet with his millions of followers during the Democratic debate on Thursday that falsely claimed Senator Kamala Harris was not black enough to be discussing the plight of black Americans.

“Kamala Harris is implying she is descended from American Black Slaves,” Ali Alexander, a member of a right-wing constellation of media personalities, wrote on Twitter. “She’s not. She comes from Jamaican Slave Owners. That’s fine. She’s not an American Black. Period.”

Mr. Trump, a valuable Republican surrogate as his father faces a bruising 2020 race, posted the tweet of unverified information, then asked his more than three million followers: “Is this true? Wow.” By the end of the night, Mr. Trump had deleted his message, and by Friday, a spokesman said it had all been a misunderstanding.

“Don’s tweet was simply him asking if it was true that Kamala Harris was half-Indian because it’s not something he had ever heard before,” said the spokesman, Andy Surabian, “and once he saw that folks were misconstruing the intent of his tweet, he quickly deleted it.”

But by then, the original message, questioning the background of a presidential candidate who is of Indian and Jamaican descent, had already spread far and wide. For people like Mr. Alexander — an alt-right fringe figure who has also gone by the name Ali Akbar — the entire point of commenting was to go viral and counteract any progress made by a Democrat like Ms. Harris. She caught Joseph R. Biden Jr., the presumed front-runner, off guard on Thursday night by questioning his track record on race.

Guess the turd doesn't fall far from the asshole.

There's one other smear from the right going around. It's common knowledge that Kamala Harris dated Willie Brown. Since they're both from the San Francisco bay area and are part of Democratic circles this shouldn't seem unusual.

It however has become a talking point among some in the right that Kamala Harris must have slept her way to where she is.

Right. Someone wins a statewide election because of who they slept with? How fucking stupid can you get?

4. Sheesh

I’ve already seen a few Facebook postings saying that Harris can’t identify with African-Americans because she’s not black enough, or some such nonsense. To which I have posted “where do you think the black people in Jamaica came from?” These people are so dense. 🙄
