Kamala Harris did not go after a friend of Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump.
Time for another fact-check. I really wish Conservatives paid attention to them.
Here we go!
Claim: Kamala Harris posted about banning a friend of Barron Trump because he wore a “Biden Loves Minors” shirt.
Former President Donald Trump’s 18 year-old-son, Barron Trump, and his friend, 17-year-old Bo Loudon, have been reportedly helping the former president with his social media strategy.
But Vice President Kamala Harris did not demand Loudon’s banning from social media for wearing a “Biden Loves Minors” shirt, as social media users have claimed.
An Instagram user posted a screenshot purportedly from Harris’s X account, with an image of Loudon wearing a T-shirt mocking President Joe Biden while standing with Donald Trump Jr., Trump’s older son.
