Throughout his candidacy and presidency, former President Barack Obama was hit with the false conspiracy theory that he was not born in the United States. There was never the slightest bit of truth to the conspiracy – Obama was born in 1961 in Hawaii, as was backed up by every piece of documentation.

Now, another candidate for president is facing a similar but equally baseless charge…Kamala Harris.

Jacob Wohl, the online Trump backer who gained prominence last year when he attempted to stage a false accusation fo sexual misconduct against Special Counsel Robert Mueller, tweeted Tuesday morning that “Kamala Harris is NOT eligible to be President. Her father arrived from Jamaica in 1961—mother from India arrived in 1960 Neither parent was a legal resident for 5 years prior to Harris’s birth, a requirement for naturalization.” He went on to say that Harris was “raised in Canada.”

Kamala Harris is NOT eligible to be President. Her father arrived from Jamaica in 1961—mother from India arrived in 1960

Neither parent was a legal resident for 5 years prior to Harris’s birth, a requirement for naturalization

Kamala was raised in Canada

Here is Kamala Harris' yearbook from Westmount High School in MONTREAL!

Just like the worst President in American History, Barack Hussein Obama, Kamala Harris was NOT raised in the United States

Is it too much to ask to have a President that was born and RAISED in America? pic.twitter.com/PxIhv3ZF7v

And before you worthless leftist trolls call me a "birther", read the confirmation that Barack Hussein Obama was indeed raised in Jakarta, Indonesia https://t.co/0pHxLkt2dI

Harris, a Demoratic senator from California who formally announced Monday that she is running for president in 2020, was born in Oakland, California, in 1964, meaning that she is, in fact, a United States citizen, and is therefore eligible for the presidency. Harris did spend some of her childhood in Montreal, following her parents’ divorce, but she returned to the U.S. to attend college.

And to make matters worse, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo lent some credence to the question by suggesting that Harris should provide proof.

Twitter mostly knows that Jacob Wohl is an idiot, but they were furious at Cuomo:

I am still waiting for Chris Cuomo to respond to the legitimate allegation that he wears a toupee.

The longer there is no proof either way, the deeper the effect.

???? She ???? was ???? born ???? in ???? OAKLAND ????

There's no "both sides," there's no lack of proof or competing facts, there's no mystery about the "legit info." This is ridiculous — just like the birther smear was a decade ago. https://t.co/DRpbQHPsyO

Here's Chris Cuomo suggesting that there's "no proof either way" about whether Kamala Harris was born in the US. What an utter hack. https://t.co/uya1i50nnd

Let us please, PLEASE, preeeeettttyyyyy please not engage this ridiculous birther shit being thrown at Kamala Harris. Have we learned nothing from the past few years?????

Read the Fourteenth Amendment, you massive putz. Harris is a citizen by birth. There’s no ambiguity about it at all.

Cuomo is aiding the birther 2.0 movement and Tapper is doing PR work for Scott Jennings. Is this an elaborate plot to make Cilizza seem like less of a dunce by comparison? https://t.co/HQppEewgM6

In subsequent tweets, Cuomo clarified that he agreed Harris was born in Oakland and the burden of proof does not lie with her.

That bullshit. It is on the ACCUSER to prove what they say about Harris. Not on her. That’s my point. That’s the only point here. https://t.co/rIQb3t6afB
