Soooooooo, basically they are trying to keep Harris out of office by claiming ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT CITIZENS because they were once enslaved...

Please, MAGA conservatives, try to justify that for us... Guests are not allowed to view images in posts, please Register or Login

I think you have a misinterpretation here.
Dred Scott decision based on Article III of the U.S. Constitution made it impossible for the descendants of slaves to have the rights of citizenship. Kamala Harris is not a descendant of slaves. Then there is the Emancipation Proclamation, and 14th amendment.

"natural born citizen" is defined as "a person born on American soil of parents who are both citizens of the United States at the time of the child's birth."

Just more BS to inflame the extremist in the MAGA base with more senseless arguments. I would say that this is at the outer fringes, except that Marjorie Taylor Green use to be at the outer fringes.
