Right-Wingers Try To Weaponize Kamala Harris' Black Sorority Affiliation — And Get Schooled

Some conservatives are attempting to draw connections between Vice President Kamala Harris’ historically Black sorority affiliation and the outcome of the recent presidential debate — but people on social media aren’t having it.

“So it turns out the totally unbiased ABC moderator Linsey Davis and Kamala Harris are sorority sisters!” Libs of TikTok wrote Wednesday on X, formerly Twitter. “Interesting.”

“Fox & Friends” co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy wrote on X that the moderator’s affiliation with AKA was “not right.”

“There’s no way #ABC would let a Trump frat bro moderate last night’s #debate!” she added, referring to Harris’ GOP rival, former President Donald Trump.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said on X that ABC was “shameless” for allowing Davis to moderate the debate.

“The left’s near-complete domination of broadcast TV couldn’t be more obvious,” he wrote. “Perhaps it’s time to re-examine the laws
