The claim: Kamala Harris said during a debate Joe Biden would do whatever the Chinese tell you!The 2020 Democratic presidential primary included nearly two dozen candidates, a once-a-century pandemic and at least one memorable and tense exchange between the future president and vice president.
During a June 2019 debate, then-Sen. Kamala Harris attacked then-former Vice President Joe Biden. The exchange led much of the media coverage of the debate and prompted questions later about whether Biden, the eventual Democratic presidential nominee, would consider Harris as a running mate.
Anyone remember Kamala telling Joe during the debate: You will do whatever the Chinese tell you! They gave your son over a billion dollars, the April 24 Facebook post says. The text sits over a cropped image of Biden and Harris facing off behind lecterns on the debate stage.
But Harris didnt say that. Transcripts of the debates where Harris and Biden shared the stage show no such exchange.

We just keep handing the Republicans sledgehammers to--what? Harris never said that? The story is 100% hokum, and the Republicans are still using it to pound Democrats? Shut the front door!
