...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...’s running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) "tried to tie Harris" to the Biden-Harris administration’s policies while speaking at a rally in Big Rapids, Michigan, on Tuesday.
"Vance tries to tether Harris to Biden during Michigan rally," read a Tuesday X post by Politico, citing the article.
In the piece, Politico news hound Mia McCarthy amusingly writes, "Speaking at a rally in Big Rapids, Michigan, former President Donald Trump’s running mate tried to tie Harris to the Biden administration’s policies."
Politico’s X post was quickly issued a "Community Notes" correction advising the public that "Harris is currently President Biden’s Vice President."
Social media users, meanwhile, slammed Politico in the comment section and accused the outlet of "gaslighting," a term the American Psychological Association (APA) defines as "to manipulate another person into doubting their perceptions, experiences, or understanding of events."
"We’ve reached apex gaslighting, people. It doesn’t get any more ’believe us and not your own eyes’ than this," one X user reacted.
"This is a level of media gaslighting I’ve never seen before. Holy fucking shit," another wrote, before proclaiming, "SHES HIS GOD DAMN VICE PRESIDENT! RIGHT NOW! SHES IN OFFICE! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!"
"I didn’t even know this level of gaslighting was possible," a third echoed.
"Harris is tied to Biden because... wait for it..... SHE IS HIS VICE PRESIDENT," another X user exclaimed.
"How dare he tie Harris to the Biden/Harris administration!" another quipped.
"Tries? She tethered herself to him," another informed.
Vance also reacted to Politico’s post, writing, "The thing is: she’s Biden’s Vice President."
