Conspiracy rages among Trump supporters following presidential debate as viewers question Kamala Harris’s earrings
Conspiracy theorists claim they ‘busted’ Kamala Harris for using a secret earpiece during last night’s presidential debate.
Harris, who has previously suggested that Bluetooth headphones pose a “security risk,” was accused of wearing earbuds disguised as pearl earrings to help her during Tuesday’s 90-minute battle against Republican rival Donald Trump.
Critics have unfoundedly claimed that the gold pearl loops — which Harris, 59, has previously worn and are believed to be from Tiffany’s — are in fact a pair of smart audio earrings designed by German start-up company NOVA. The only similarity between the two sets of earrings appears to be that they both feature a pearl.
Harris and Trump, 78, faced off in a heated debate Tuesday for the first — and possibly the last — time before the election. The contest saw the vice president take aim at the GOP nominee with digs at his economic policies, refusal to concede his 2020 election defeat and even his rallies.
Trump, who entered uncharted territory by making accusations about eating pets and executing babies, responded by criticizing Democrats’ stance on immigration and inflation.

An X account called The Maverick Approach, which claims to be an “alternative news” source, is heavily promoting the earbud conspiracy theory.
“There is a big problem with this debate,” the account tweeted. “I told myself she was told what to say during the debate and my suspicion was correct. Nova is the world’s first and only wireless earbuds.”
The Maverick Approach added: “Nothing is what it seems.”
The account shared a photo of Harris at last night’s game, clearly showing her earrings. It also shared a link to the NOVA H1 Audio Earrings, which are said to be the “first clip-on earbuds on the planet.”
A Kickstarter page promoting the technology says the earrings are placed on the earlobes and can “project sound from the bead directly into your ear canal.”
“Each Earring contains two small, high-quality microphones, which guarantee the user crystal-clear phone calls and suppress wind noise,” the advertisement states.
‘These earrings are packed with the latest technology, incorporated into real pearls. So you can enjoy music, phone calls and digital assistants all day long.’
The NOVA H1 earrings, which retail for about $625, come in gold, but otherwise bear no resemblance to the earrings Harris wore on Tuesday night.

Harris’s supporters have claimed that her earrings are nearly identical to a pair of Tiffany earrings (pictured) that sold for more than $2,000. The earrings are no longer available on the retailer’s website
The NOVA earrings appear to be almost a crescent moon, while the pair Harris wore has a double gold loop beneath the gemstone.
Harris’ supporters, who have taken aim at her online critics, claim that her earrings are nearly identical to a pair from Tiffany that retailed for more than $2,000. The earrings are no longer available on the retailer’s website.
The vice president came under fire last week after she was spotted wearing headphones as she pushed her way through a group of reporters attempting to question her.
Harris, who took more than a month to give an interview to a major media outlet after announcing her presidential candidacy, was filmed boarding her plane as she left Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to campaign in the Midwest.
In the clip, reporters can be heard trying to get Harris’ attention, but the vice president merely waves dismissively as she puts on her headphones, as if taking a phone call.
Social media users did not appreciate this tactic, saying Harris was determined to avoid questioning.
“Kamala is beyond saving…she is hiding behind the EarPods management, a coward par excellence,” one person wrote.
‘Headphones? A way to avoid the crowds/questions,’ added another.

Harris has been known to wear wired headphones for years, and has been spotted and photographed wearing the devices on numerous occasions.
It is alleged that she does not wear wireless headphones, while former employees say Politics nearly three years ago that Harris “long believed Bluetooth headphones posed a safety risk.”
Insiders say she has always been “cautious about security and technology” and remained cautious after becoming vice president.
