Verdict: False

The post was not made by Harris’s account.

Fact Check:

Technology failures contributed to the shooter being able to fire shots at Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, The Guardian reported. The U.S. Secret Service reportedly did not receive radio messages that were sent before the shooting, but the lack of other tech also helped the shooter.

A post shared on Threads allegedly shows a screenshot of a post from Harris’s X account. The alleged post suggests that Trump had a comfortable relationship with Epstein.

The post reads, “I propose we have the next debate at a venue Donald Trump feels more comfortable: Jeffrey Epstein’s Townhouse.”

The post was not made by Harris’s account. It stems from an account handle called @KamalarHarris, which is currently restricted. There is no record of this post on any of Harris’s authentic accounts.  (RELATED: No, Kamala Harris Did Not Publish A Tweet Praising The 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony)

A debate between Harris and Trump has become a source of contention between the two, the two disagree on what has been previously agreed to, according to NPR. Over the weekend, Trump offered a debate on Fox News or none at all, CNN reported.

This is not the first time misinformation has been shared online. Check Your Fact recently debunked a claim Michelle Obama wore a necklace that read “Mike” during the 2020 DNC.
