Kamala Harris' old tweet on Diddy resurfaces after his arrest as trolls say 'down she goes'
WASHINGTON, DC: Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris' old tweet thanking Sean 'Diddy' Combs has resurfaced on social media following the rapper's recent arrest on serious charges of sex trafficking.
Notably, Combs pleaded not guilty but was denied bail due to concerns about witness tampering and the power imbalance in the case, per The Guardian.
Thank you, @Diddy, for hosting this town hall last night. There's a lot at stake for our communities right now and it's critical we bring to the forefront how coronavirus is perpetuating racial inequality and health disparities.https://t.co/mPFYcIhsFD

Moreover, fake images purporting to show Harris and Combs together were also shared on X but were soon debunked.
It was a morphed photo from the original one from 2001 where Harris was standing beside talk show host Montel Williams, whom she dated for a short period.
Similarly, a photo of GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump with Combs was also shared online. A user shared the image and wrote on X, "Since Diddy was just arrested in New York following an indictment for alleged sex trafficking... Seems a good time to point out he used to hang out with Donald Trump. And he's an investor in X."
