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.
