Chris Cuomo's attempted virtue signaling over conspiracy theory about Kamala Harris's eligibility just went terribly wrong
CNN's Chris Cuomo just provided a cringeworthy example of what can happen when an attempt at virtue signaling goes terribly wrong.
It all started when a crank on Twitter advanced a conspiracy theory questioning Sen. Kamala Harris's eligibility to be president. It's not worth going down the rabbit hole on this beyond saying that Harris was born in Oakland, and thus, a U.S. citizen.
After the tweet, CNN contributor Ana Navarro slammed the "birther" charge. Cuomo couldn't resist weighing in either, but then he wrote this: "hopefully there will be no games where the issue keeps changing for righty accusers…and…the legit info abt Harris comes out to deal with the allegation ASAP. The longer there is no proof either way, the deeper the effect."
