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.

Resist Hate: What we do

We report what’s happening, name who’s responsible, and refuse to pretend “both sides” framing applies when one side is stripping people of their rights. Our coverage is direct and morally engaged. We don’t perform neutrality on questions like whether people deserve due process or whether children belong in cages. Fascism is not a policy disagreement.

Choose Love. Resist Hate.
