MP Kaluma Causes Storm in US for Posting Inaccuracies on Kamala Harris Campaign

MP Kaluma Causes Storm in US for Posting Inaccuracies on Kamala Harris Campaign:  Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament George Peter Kaluma has ignited negative attention from American and global media outlets.

The MP recently revealed that he has traveled to the United States to campaign for Republican Presidential Candidate and former President Donald Trump, largely because of his conservative views.

To that end, the MP has been active on social media, making posts about the US presidential election

However, the MP shared misleading information in one of the posts where he posted a photo of The Mayor of Cork from Ireland Dan Boyle standing alongside nudists from a recent cycling event.

“The reason I have left USA Democrats to support Republicans. Democrats have lost it!” read the tweet posted on September 11, accompanied by an image of naked cyclists covered in paint

The Irish leg of the World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) took place in Cork city center on August 27.

Naturally, the post attracted the attention of some media outlets in the US and in Ireland. Journalists took issue with the MP posting inaccurate information to discredit the Kamala Harris campaign.

Cork’s 96FM presenters revealed that it was very disheartening that such a leader could be in the front leading misinformation.

“The danger in this is that I read the comments and only two people said that the photo was wrong and was from Cork. Pure falsehood is heightening on social media”, the journalists said.
