The X account of Democrat presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, has been caught in a series of lies exposed by none other than liberal CNN.

The @KamalaHQ account on X, formerly Twitter, has more than one million followers and has been caught deceptively editing videos and using misleading captions in its attacks on former President Donald Trump, CNN’s fact-checker,  Daniel Dale, reported.

And CNN, the network the vice president gave her first national television interview to, listed eight of the lies it caught the account engaging in that were previously mentioned by an account named @KamalaHQLies.

In a post on August 17, the account deceptively edited a clip of the former president speaking at a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, to make it appear as if he did not know where he was.

The post said, “Trump: Would that be okay, North Carolina? (He is in Pennsylvania).” It included a six-second video clip in which Trump said, while pointing to his left, “Would that be okay, North Carolina? I don’t think so, right.”

And a caption with the video said “Donald Trump is lost and confused.”

But the full video of the event showed that he was pointing to a group of supporters who had come to the rally from North Carolina.

This week the account posted another video of the former president in which it insinuated that he did not know where he was when it said “Trump: ‘Pennsylvania, remember this when you have to go to vote’ (He is in Arizona).” And it shared just eight seconds of the clip where he said “So Pennsylvania, remember this when you have to go to vote, okay, just remember this: 2,000% increase. This is a small —…”

But the full clip showed that he did not forget where he was as he was speaking about immigration to the Arizona audience about how a small Pennsylvania town has “experienced a 2,000% increase in the population of Haitian migrants under Kamala Harris.”

“So Pennsylvania, remember this when you have to go to vote, okay, just remember this: 2,000% increase, this is a small town; of all a sudden they got thousands of people,” he said.

On Friday the account insinuated that the former president thought that the people who marched in Charlottesville and murdered a woman “did nothing wrong” when it shared a deceptively edited clip and said, “Trump says ‘nothing was done wrong’ in Charlottesville in 2017 when neo-Nazis chanted ‘Jews will not replace us’ and killed an innocent woman” and it showed him talking to reporters in California when he said “…like on Project 2025, I have no idea about — had nothing to do with me, he didn’t correct her, he knew that. Charlottesville — nothing was done wrong.”

But the full video and quote told another story.

“I think he (Muir) corrected me 11 times. Of the 11 times, I don’t think he had the right to correct me at all. Didn’t correct her once. Like on Project 2025, I have no idea about — had nothing to do with me, he didn’t correct her, he knew that. Charlottesville — nothing was done wrong. All you had to do is read my statement one more sentence and you would’ve seen that. Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Jesse (Watters), all of them, they — Greg Gutfeld — they all took that and they corrected it many times. But they keep coming with the same lies,” he said.

This week it also deceptively edited a clip of Republican vice presidential candidate and Ohio Sen. JD Vance in which it said “Q: Would you consider privatizing veterans health care? Vance: I think I’d consider it.”

But the full quote and context was: “I think I’d consider — and Donald Trump was really good at this, doesn’t get enough credit for this particular innovation — giving veterans more choice. Right? So let’s say you’re in a rural hospital. Your closest VA is 120 miles away. Why force a veteran to drive two-and-a-half hours to that VA facility when he can get cheaper and good care right in his backyard? Right? So I do think that we ought to open up choice and optionality for veterans. You know, I think that there is areas where the VA actually works very well, so I wouldn’t say get rid of the whole thing. I would say give people more choice, I think you’ll save money in the process, you’ll also give veterans a lot more optionality.”

The CNN story goes on to list four more examples of the deceptiveness of the account which included “Deceptively clipping and falsely describing a Trump quote about penalties for damaging monuments,” “Deceptively clipping and misleadingly describing a Trump comment about taxes,” “Cutting out critical words from a Vance comment about unions” and “Falsely describing a comment from a Trump ally.”
