Thought experiment

Let us suppose that a reporter asked Kamala Harris a question about Donald Trump's, oh, let's say second wife Marla Maples. In our hypothetical, Harris responds by saying that she knew Marla Maples very well, in fact they were in a helicopter together that crash landed. They thought it might be the end for both of them. Maples then told her many bad things about Trump, Harris won't say what exactly.


Let us then suppose it turns out this was not true. Not at all. Kamala Harris was never in a helicopter with Marla Maples. She was once in a helicopter with Rula Lenska, that had a hard landing. Rula Lenska never met Donald Trump and would have had nothing to say about him. Would this possibly affect the Harris candidacy for president? Would the corporate media talk about nothing else for a week? Would voters decide that Kamala Harris must be either a pathological liar or a nut job and couldn't possibly serve as president? What do you think?
