A recent photo shared by Kamala Harris on X has sparked criticism after users claimed to have spotted an error.
The image, posted by the Democrat presidential candidate showed Harris claiming to be working with FEMA to support communities affected by Hurricane Helene.
However, social media users quickly noticed that her wired headphones were not plugged into her phone, proving the scene was staged.
The oversight drew a flurry of reactions online, with many slamming the image as a superficial attempt to engage voters.
One user commented, “Your headphones aren’t even plugged into your phone, dumbass,” while another remarked, “This photo is staged just like your entire campaign.”
I was just briefed by @FEMA_Deanne Criswell on the latest developments about the ongoing impacts of Hurricane Helene. We also discussed our Administration’s continued actions to support emergency response and recovery.

Even former President Donald Trump weighed in, sharing a screenshot of the post on Truth Social.
“Another FAKE and STAGED photo from someone who has no clue what she is doing,” he wrote, adding, “You have to plug the cord into the phone for it to work!”
This comes after the Harris campaign faced similar scrutiny last week, when it was accused of using paid actors to pose as former Trump supporters who had allegedly switched to back the Democrats. The campaign has not responded to the latest wave of criticism regarding the photo.
Blank paper, headphones not plugged into anything.
Literally NOTHING you do is real

Harris / Walz Campaign BUSTED for using 2 paid actors to pretend they were former Pennsylvania Farmers & Trump Voters who switched to Kamala.
Turns out the 2 were not only actors but democrat donors for years. pic.twitter.com/2LSSaYonUE— Johnny Midnight ⚡️ (@its_The_Dr) September 28, 2024
