Univision Debunks False Teleprompter Claims Against Kamala Harris
Right-wing influencers falsely accused Vice President Harris of using a teleprompter during a Univision town hall, but the network clarified it was for the moderator.
- Univision's Daniel Coronell and moderator Enrique Acevedo confirmed that the teleprompter was used to display Spanish text for the moderator, not Vice President Harris.
- Right-wing figures, including Sean Hannity and Benny Johnson, spread the false claim, which was based on a misleading video clip circulated on social media.
- Despite the debunking, some posts making the false claim remained online, while others, like Hannity's, were deleted after receiving pushback.
- Donald Trump's campaign initially posted the video without explicitly claiming Harris used the teleprompter, allowing allies to amplify the misinformation.
- Similar false teleprompter claims have been made against Harris in the past, highlighting a pattern of misinformation targeting her campaign.
