What’s the Frequency, Kamala?

Some individuals with a penchant for conspiracy theories have suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris might have received covert—and unjust—assistance during her debate on Tuesday night against the Republican candidate.
Here’s how the theory goes: Harris’ earrings supposedly concealed a secret Bluetooth device, allowing her to be fed lines by unseen staff during the ABC News debate in Philadelphia, in blatant disregard for the rules set by the Disney-owned network.
An X user, who goes by The Maverick Approach and describes themselves as an “alternative news source,” floated the idea on Wednesday morning, claiming Harris had been equipped with a pair of smart earrings made by the German company NOVA.
“There’s a major issue with this debate,” they posted. “I told myself she was fed what to say during the debate and my hunch was right. Nova is the world’s first and only wireless earphone earrings.”
However, the NOVA H1 Audio Earrings bear little resemblance to the ones Harris wore during the debate, except for the fact that both feature pearls. The earrings the vice president was actually wearing appeared to be a gold version of Tiffany & Co.’s Double Pearl Hinged Earrings, which are not known to contain any electronics.
The NOVA H1 Audio Earrings, which are clip-ons, retail for around $625 each. They can, according to their Kickstarter page, “project sound from inside the pearl directly into your ear canal.” The Kickstarter campaign has been inactive since last year, and some backers have left comments claiming they never received the product after contributing funds.
“These earrings are fully packed with the latest technology embedded in real pearls to provide you with music, phone calls, and digital assistants all day long,” the page states.
In the past, Harris has criticized Bluetooth devices as potential security risks and has often been seen using wired headphones during her campaign events.
Despite these facts, the conspiracy theory gained traction on the r/conspiracy subreddit and was shared widely across various social media platforms.
The Maverick Approach’s post quickly garnered nearly 100,000 views before the user appeared to admit the whole thing was a joke.
“I can’t believe how easy it is to troll and get everybody worked up,” The Maverick Approach later wrote on X. “This is how politicians do it. FYI, she was terrible and was terrible all on her own. She didn’t need any help with that! If she did have an earpiece, that’s even worse—the fact she had help and still loss [sic].”
On Wednesday morning, former President Trump chimed in, suggesting that Harris may have been given an unfair advantage before the debate began.
“They had a rigged show with somebody that maybe even had the answers,” Trump told “Fox & Friends.” “I mean, I’ll be honest, I watched her talk and I said, ‘You know, she seems awfully familiar with the questions.’”
