No evidence there were transmitters in Kamala Harris' earrings during debate Fact check

(USA Today) -snip- For more than 90 minutes on Sept. 10, Harris and former President Donald Trump traded barbs, claims and policy proposals during their first presidential debate of the election season.

But the claim in the Facebook post is baseless. There is no credible evidence to indicate Harris’ jewelry during the debate contained audio transmitters that could have allowed her to be “coached," as the post claims.

The earrings she wore on the debate stage featured large pearls with two gold stalks that curve behind her earlobes in a “J” shape. A journalist-run website that tracks the vice president’s clothing choices identifies them as a discontinued style from Tiffany & Co. Indeed, the earrings bear a close resemblance to the earrings in Tiffany & Co.’s HardWear line of jewelry, although the pearls in Harris' earrings are noticeably larger than the ones pictured on the jeweler's website.

"There was a bizarre narrative being pushed last night claiming the vice president wore earrings with an audio receiver," Susan Kelley wrote for her site, What Kamala Wore. "I am comfortable stating that was clearly not the case; these are the same Tiffany earrings she has worn for months."
