Vice President Kamala Harris is facing "bizarre" attacks over where she's from — with right-wing pundits even holding up her birth certificate to viewers — and an MSNBC writer believes that while Harris may be "fudging things slightly" on the topic, the question is also one that Black candidates wrongly find themselves on the receiving end of far too often.
Harris' hometown is Berkeley, California. According to The New York Times, she downplayed her Berkeley roots "years ago" as she prepped to run for statewide office in California.
