A social media post falsely claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris made a nonsensical statement about Olympians, stating that they are “Olympic” and at the Olympics being “Olympian.” The post was widely shared but was quickly debunked as fabricated by a spokesperson for Harris’ presidential campaign.
Harris has made supportive comments about the Olympics, encouraging Team USA to bring back the gold and acknowledging their role as ambassadors for the nation. However, the nonsensical quote attributed to her in the post was not accurate.
This false claim is part of a trend of misinformation spreading about Harris since President Joe Biden endorsed her for president. Other debunked claims include her being in charge of the border and being pictured with Jeffrey Epstein.
Various fact-checking organizations have confirmed that the quote attributed to Harris in the social media post is false. Users are urged to be cautious about sharing or spreading misinformation on social media platforms.
