Prominent Democratic Activist Criticizes Vice President Harris's Candor Amidst Fact-Checking Scrutiny

A prominent Democratic activist and co-founder of "YIMBYs for Harris," Armand Domalewski, recently sparked discussion with a social media post asserting that the Vice President "lies constantly." The statement, shared on X (formerly Twitter) on September 25, 2025, comes as Vice President Kamala Harris faces ongoing scrutiny over the accuracy of her public statements and campaign communications.

Domalewski, a data scientist with a significant online presence and a history of engagement in Democratic politics, particularly in housing and urban development, tweeted, "> it kind of blows that the Vice President just lies constantly." His comment highlights a sentiment that has been echoed by various fact-checking organizations and political commentators, even from within her own party's orbit.

Recent analyses have brought the Vice President's truthfulness into question. A New York Times fact-check, for instance, identified six false or inaccurate statements by Harris in a single stump speech, though notably fewer than her political opponents. Similarly, NPR reported that Harris made twelve "misleading or lacking-in-context" statements during her Democratic National Convention acceptance speech in August 2024, particularly concerning grocery prices and her proposed "price gouging" ban.

The Vice President's campaign has also drawn criticism for its social media strategy. The official @KamalaHQ account has been accused of posting "misleadingly edited videos and captions" targeting former President Donald Trump, often by taking his statements out of context. Eight specific instances of such practices were highlighted by the Times of India, covering topics from Trump's rally locations to his remarks on immigration and Charlottesville.

Furthermore, Harris has faced accusations of plagiarism regarding congressional testimony from her tenure as San Francisco's district attorney in 2007, as reported by the American Tribune. Her recent memoir, "107 Days," has also generated controversy among Democrats for its critical portrayal of fellow party members, including President Joe Biden, and its reflections on her campaign challenges.
