Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) made a wild claim on Sunday, tweeting that the anonymous “ABC Whistleblower” who alleged that Vice President Kamala Harris received debate questions in advance and preferential treatment during the 2020 presidential election, had died in a car crash. Greene cited “news reports” from a pro-Trump website, County Local News, which attributed the information to Joseph Okechukwu, a pro-Trump Nigerian actor and conspiracy theorist.
Okechukwu did not specify the source of these “news reports” and no credible media outlet has reported the alleged death. Even Greene herself later acknowledged that the story was likely false, tweeting, “This story appears to be false and I’m glad to hear it.”
Despite admitting the story was likely untrue, Greene remains adamant about investigating the whistleblower’s allegations. She specifically pointed to an affidavit, released by an anonymous social media account, claiming that Harris received “sample questions” similar to those asked by ABC moderators and was provided a smaller podium than Donald Trump, allegedly to make her appear shorter.
The article points out the absurdity of these claims, stating that Harris’s podium size was likely irrelevant and Trump’s concern about Harris appearing taller during the debate is bizarre, given that she stands at 5’4″ and he claims to be 6’3″.
The article concludes by questioning the existence of the “ABC whistleblower” and highlighting the possibility that this entire story is a fabricated attempt to distract from more pressing issues, such as the Republican Party’s stalled budget negotiations.
