Newsweek apologized for an op-ed questioning Kamala Harris' eligibility to be vice president, saying it was being used 'to perpetuate racism and xenophobia'

The magazine was hit with criticism for pushing a racist "birther" conspiracy after publishing the piece on Wednesday by conservative law professor John Eastman. Eastman falsely argued that Harris — whose mother and father emigrated from India and Jamaica, respectively — "may not be subject to the complete jurisdiction" of the US, even though she was born in California and is undeniably a US citizen under the Fourteenth Amendment.

Newsweek's opinion editor Josh Hammer and global editor-in-chief Nancy Cooper added the editor's note to the top of the op-ed. It notes that "many readers have demanded that we retract the essay, but we believe in being transparent."on Thursday, telling reporters, "I heard it today that she doesn't meet the requirements," referring to the Newsweek op-ed.

So pursuing the truth is racist now

NaijaFlyingDr Wasn't that the intent?

How is it rasict and or xenophobic to ask a question? Is she above

That’s hilarious! They thought she was not qualified, but then after she was selected the compliant media fell in line. This is a prime example of why few have any confidence in media anymore.

That wasn't an apology.

oh Paleeez! They also said they had no idea it would be used that way... don't they read what they're writing? Don't they watch the 'news'? Don't they know who the president is

After defending it as being misinterpreted. SMH.
