Conspiracy rages among Trump supporters following presidential debate as viewers question Kamala Harris’s earrings
Conspiracy theorists claim they have ‘busted’ Kamala Harris for using a secret earpiece during last night’s presidential debate.
Harris, who has previously suggested that Bluetooth headphones pose a ‘security risk’, was accused of wearing earphones disguised as pearl earrings to aide her during the 90-minute contest against Republican rival Donald Trump on Tuesday.
Critics have baselessly alleged the gold pearl loops – which Harris, 59, has worn before and are believed to be from Tiffany’s – are actually a pair of smart audio earrings engineered by German start-up company NOVA. The only similarity between the two sets of earrings appears to be that they both feature a pearl.
Harris and Trump, 78, faced off in a heated debate Tuesday for the first – and possibly the last – time before the election. The contest saw the Vice President bait the GOP hopeful with jabs at his economic policy, refusal to concede his 2020 election loss and even his performance at his rallies.
Trump, who veered into uncharted territory by discussing allegations of eating pets and executing babies, hit back by taking aim on the Democrats‘ record over immigration and inflation.

An X account called The Maverick Approach, which claims to be an ‘alternative news’ source, is heavily pushing the earpiece conspiracy theory.
‘There’s a major issue with this debate,’ the account tweeted. ‘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.’
The Maverick Approach added: ‘Nothing is what it seems.’
The account shared a photo of Harris during last night’s contest, clearly displaying her earrings. It also shared a link to the NOVA H1 Audio Earrings, which are allegedly the ‘first clip-on earphones on the planet’.
A kickstarter page promoting the technology says the earrings are placed on the earlobes and can ‘project sound from inside the pearl straight into your ear canal’.
‘Two tiny high-end microphones are integrated into each Earring providing the user with crystal clear phone calls and wind-noise cancelation,’ the ad states.
‘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 NOVA H1 earrings, which retail for around $625, are available in gold, but otherwise do not look like the earrings that Harris sported Tuesday night.

Harris supporters have claimed that her earrings are nearly identical to a pair of Tiffany’s earrings (pictured) that retailed for over $2,000. The earrings are no longer available on the retailer’s website
The NOVA earrings appear to be almost half-moon shaped, whilst the pair that Harris wore feature a double gold loop under the gemstone.

The Vice President came under fire last week after she was spotted wearing a pair of wired headphones as she waded through a group of reporters who tried to question her.
Harris – who took more than a month to give an interview with a major media outlet after announcing her run for president – was filmed boarding her flight as she left Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to campaign across the midwest.
In the clip, journalists can be overheard trying to get Harris’ attention, but the Vice President simply waved dismissively while adjusting her headphones as if she was taking a call.
Social media users were not amused by the tactic, claiming Harris is desperate to avoid questioning.
‘Kamala is in over her head… hiding behind EarPods leadership for cowards 101,’ wrote one person.
‘Headphones? One way to avoid the scrum / questions,’ another added.

Harris for years has been known to wear wired headphones. She has been spotted and photographed with the devices on numerous occasions.
It is alleged that she does not wear wireless headphones, with former aides telling Politico nearly three years ago that Harris ‘has long felt that Bluetooth headphones are a security risk’.
The insiders claimed she has always been ‘careful about security and technology’ and continued to remain cautious after becoming Vice President.
