No, Kamala Harris didn’t call unvaccinated Americans ‘dirty Trump people’

There is no evidence that Harris said this. Her spokesperson called the story a fabrication. 

The Real Raw News story claimed that an unidentified person at the National Institutes of Health told them Harris made the comment during a recent phone call with the White House’s COVID-⁠19 Health Equity Task Force after Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, talked about the difficulty of vaccinating every American. 

The article said that Harris then bemoaned “Trump supporters refusing to get vaccinated” and quoted her as blaming the spread of the delta and omicron COVID-19 variants on Trump and his “gang of dirty people.”

There’s just one problem — Harris wasn’t on the call. 

“This is not true. No such call happened that the VP participated in,” Symone Sanders, a spokesperson for Harris, wrote in an email.
