Some conservatives are attempting to draw connections between Vice President Kamala Harris historically Black sorority affiliation and the outcome of the recent presidential debate but people on social media arent having it.

Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, is a part of the same historically Black sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha as ABC News anchor Linsey Davis, who served as one of the moderators of Tuesday nights debate in Philadelphia.

Various right-wingers have tried to suggest that Harris received preferential treatment from Davis due to the fact that they are both affiliated with the oldest Black sorority, which was founded in 1908.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., comprises more than 360,000 initiated members, according to its website . Some of its notable members include actor Phylicia Rashad, the late writer Toni Morrison and the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.

But despite its vast membership, right-wing social media accounts such as Libs of TikTok, run by Chaya Raichik, have sought to emphasize Harris and Davis connections to AKA.

So it turns out the totally unbiased ABC moderator Linsey Davis and Kamala Harris are sorority sisters! Libs of TikTok wrote Wednesday on X , formerly Twitter. Interesting.

Fox & Friends co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy wrote on X that the moderators affiliation with AKA was not right.

Theres no way #ABC would let a Trump frat bro moderate last nights #debate! she added, referring to Harris GOP rival, former President Donald Trump .

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said on X that ABC was shameless for allowing Davis to moderate the debate.

The lefts near-complete domination of broadcast TV couldnt be more obvious, he wrote. Perhaps its time to re-examine the laws that make this possible.
