The first and so far the only debate Donald Trump and Kamaly Harris passed on the night of September 11 to Moscow time. The organizer was the ABC television company, and, according to published there rules, the participants could not communicate with their assistants and bring the props or pre -written notes to the rostrum. Only a pen, a notebook and a bottle of water were provided to each candidate. However, after the end of the event, reports from the Democratic Party of the United States diverged in social networks. “Kamala Harris came to the debate with Trump in headphones in the form of earrings.

Recall that pens and notebooks were given to candidates the organizers of the event. Later, about the ear of earrings with headphones wrote calling himself the "fighter of truth" the blogger Tarabull, whose tweet Sicked more than 22 million views.

In his post, Jonnie King, in addition to the photo Harris from the debate, presented a screenshot, which shows earrings with built -in headphones Nova H1 Audio Earrings. This screen was taken on the site Kickstarter - The platform with which entrepreneurs attract funds to implement their projects. Such a device is really represented there, and positioned It is like "the first and only wireless headphones, built into pearl earrings on a gilded or silver clip." From the description it follows that they are worn on the earlobes and transmit the sound from the inside of the pearl directly into the ear canal. The site states that the project is engaged in a team from Germany, which was supported by 323 people in the amount of € 104,000 (support levels varyed from € 248 to € 655).

However, USA Today Notes: It is unclear whether anyone really has such a couple of earrings. The editors contacted Malta Iversen - The founder and general director of the German company Icebach Sound, which acquired Nova intellectual property after the project became insoluble in 2023. According to Iversen, his company did not receive any money from Nova investors on Kickstarter. He added that Seryog is not in stock and the company is looking for funding to "" activate the activities accordingly. " In a conversation with Forbes Iversen saidthat he does not know what earrings were on Harris during the debate.

In response to Icebach, the company increased to Icebach - probably as a joke - Added On the site an announcement of the start of sales "Special version [Seryozhak-Dushnikov], dedicated to the debate." The description reads: “After the presidential debate, many television programs addressed us with a proposal to give an interview. After careful discussions, we decided that we would give one interview live to clarify all the rumors and myths surrounding our wonderful products. Our choice fell on the interviewer of Jimmy Fallon - He is a faithful Bavar with his heart. Please refrain from interviews if you are not Jimmy Fallon. Thank you!" In an interview with Newsweek Iversen Continued To joke: “Although our product was not specially designed for use on presidential debate, it is nevertheless suitable for this. To ensure equal conditions for both candidates, we are currently developing a male version and will soon be able to offer it for the Trump campaign. However, the choice of color is slightly complicated because orange does not combine with many colors. ”

There is no reason to believe that there were similar headphones on Harris. On the site of the Getty Images photo agent Published some pictures vice president who were made during and Soon after Debats and where you can examine her earrings in detail. When comparing Harris jewelry with the NOVA device, you can notice that they have inlaid pearls, but the golden fasteners are completely different.

In January 2023, on the Tom’s Guide website, Technoblogger and journalist Kate Kozuh Issued A note on how the Nova H1 audio shutters tested at the CES exhibition. According to her, in the United States, the device should have become available at the end of the year, and a model with gold clips cost € 695. In the material, she placed her photo With an earrings with a silver clip for € 595 and published a similar picture on her Instagram storosis (later the record was replaced by the Nova account). Both of these photos mentioned above Tarabull blogger I used it In comparisons, allegedly proving that Harris secretly brought such a device to the debate. Other Internet users And Media Similar collages were also cited.

Apparently, the authors of such comparisons also mixed up the fasteners. The fact is that the goat in one ear wears several earrings at once, and in this case, Internet users accepted two of them, gold and silver, for the Nova H1 clip. When the pictures were encouraged on the network, the girl published a story in which she stated that now she receives many strange letters. She called the allegations that Harris put on the debate earrings-hernings, conspiracy and disinformation.

In addition, some users They sayAs if earlier Harris always wore other pearl earrings, and during the debate there were new jewelry on it. “We looked at the archive of Kamala's photos. It is very strange: although she, in the words of Trump, "Marxist", but the woman is non -poor. The situation seems to be obliged to update the wardrobe and jewelry. The wardrobe is changing properly, but the vice president has still reached the public in exactly two pairs of Seryog. Large black pearls or large white are framed by metal. The current Seryozhi are others in a row ” - It is said In the note of the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda. In fact, according to the site What Kamala Wore, Harris previously wore more than two pairs of earrings, and those who were on her during the debate in recent years were wearing repeatedly. For example, the same jewelry was at the vice president in September 2022 and in June 2024.

According to the site What Kamala Wore, these are gold earrings with pearls from the collection Hardwear From Tiffany & Co. TV channel "Moscow 24" claimsthat the company produces similar earrings, but another Colors, and draws this conclusion: "Perhaps for Harris they made a special order." In fact, these jewelry are simply not available on the Tiffany website.

Thus, there is no significant evidence that Harris put on a hidden audio camp on the presidential debate with Trump. The jewelry that some media and Internet users took for nova earrings were produced by Tiffany jewelry, and the vice president has been wearing them for several years. However, we note that it is not possible to verify some conspiracy statements at the moment. For example, one user declaredthat the US government could copy the technology of these headphones and release them specifically for Harris. “The engineers are good in the States, they would not be difficult to reproduce the German invention,” - Adds "Komsomolskaya Pravda." In addition, there is theorythat Tiffany earrings could be modified.
