In response to Vice President Kamala Harris’ remarks, conservative commentator Tomi Lahren asserted that her assertion concerning population reduction was proof of a long-held Republican conspiracy theory. He claimed that Harris accidentally disclosed Lahren’s claim that Democrats sought to reduce the population. However, the White House eventually corrected Harris’s remarks in the speech’s official transcript. In the revised transcript, “population” was changed to “pollution,” implying that the initial statement was a misunderstanding or a mispronounced word.
