Debate Spurs Earring Conspiracy Theories

Following the recent presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, far-right figures have propagated baseless claims that Harris used Nova H1 audio earrings to gain an unfair advantage. The conspiracy, which gained traction on social media platforms like X, was quickly debunked by fact-checkers and independent analyses. High-resolution images confirmed that Harris wore Tiffany & Co. South Sea Pearl Earrings, which lack any audio features. Nova H1 earrings, which are still in development and not widely available, have a different design and were not worn by Harris. This rumor follows a pattern of similar unfounded allegations made during past debates involving Democratic candidates. Despite the debunking, the conspiracy theories persist among certain groups online.
