A German startup company that manufactures Bluetooth earrings responded after Kamala Harris was accused of wearing the device disguised as earrings during her debate with Donald Trump. Critics claimed that Harris, 59, was wearing the Bluetooth-enabled earrings to receive assistance during the debate.
Allegations of Cheating
Harris, who previously suggested that Bluetooth headphones pose a security risk, faced accusations after her gold pearl earrings, believed to be from Tiffany’s, were alleged to be smart audio earrings engineered by NOVA. This sparked debate online, with many questioning whether Harris was secretly using them during the 90-minute contest against her Republican rival.
Company Responds to Allegations
Malte Iversen, managing director of NOVA’s manufacturing company Icebach Sound, commented on the claims but remained neutral. He stated, “We do not know whether Mrs. Harris wore one of our products. The resemblance is striking, and while our product was not specifically developed for use in presidential debates, it is nonetheless suited for it.”
A Playful Jab at Trump
Iversen took a lighthearted jab at Donald Trump, offering a male version of the Bluetooth earrings to ensure fairness. He jokingly added, “We are currently developing a male version and will soon offer it to the Trump campaign. The choice of color is challenging though, as orange does not go well with a lot of colors.”
The Heated Debate
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump engaged in a heated debate on Tuesday, September 10. The Vice President took jabs at Trump’s economic policies, refusal to concede the 2020 election, and his performance at rallies, creating a tense and combative atmosphere throughout the debate.
