Wingnuts Try Again To Attack Kamala Harris On Her Ancestry -- Ineptly
Let's see: They've tried arguing that Kamala Harris isn't a "natural-born citizen" because her parents were both born overseas. (Harris was born in Oakland, and is therefore an American.) They've insisted that Harris isn't "an American black" (even though she's both American and black) because her black father grew up in Jamaica, not the U.S.
Although I'm sure these attacks are still being circulated by wingnuts and would-be vote suppressors, both of them have fallen flat with the general public. But the right is nothing if not persistent. Here's another one, from Patrick Howley at Big League Politics:

Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris is descended from Irish slave owner Hamilton Brown, the namesake of Brown’s Town in Jamaica, who recruited massive numbers of Irish migrants to Jamaica to work on his sugar plantations after the British empire abolished slavery.
