   >> The United States-based news magazine, Newsweek, has apologised for an   
   >> op-ed that questioned Senator Kamala Harris' citizenship and her   
   >> eligibility to be Joe Biden's running mate, a false and racist   
   >> conspiracy theory which President Donald Trump has not dismissed.   
   >>   
   >> "This op-ed is being used by some as a tool to perpetuate racism and   
   >> xenophobia. We apologize," read Newsweek editor's note on Friday,   
   >> which replaced the magazine's earlier detailed defence of the op-ed.   
   >>   
   >> "We entirely failed to anticipate the ways in which the essay would be   
   >> interpreted, distorted and weaponized," read the apology, signed by   
   >> Josh Hammer, opinion editor, and Nancy Cooper, global editor in chief.   
   >>   
   >> But they ended the note by saying that the op-ed would remain on the   
   >> site, with their note attached.   
   >>   
   >> The op-ed was written by John Eastman, a conservative attorney who   
   >> argues the US Constitution does not grant birthright citizenship.   
   >>   
   >> Eastman sowed doubt about Harris' eligibility based on her parents'   
   >> immigration status. Harris' mother was born in India and her father in   
   >> Jamaica.   
   >>   
   >> Harris, 55, is the first Black woman and woman of South Asian heritage   
   >> to be granted the honour of a place on the ticket of a major US party.   
   >>   
   >> Newsweek had earlier defended the op-ed piece, arguing that Eastman   
   >> "was focusing on a long-standing, somewhat arcane legal debate" about   
   >> the 14th Amendment and not trying to "ignite a racist conspiracy   
   >> theory around Kamala Harris' candidacy".   
   >>   
   >> But the theory is false. Harris, who was tapped by Joe Biden to serve   
   >> as his running mate on the Democratic ticket, was born in Oakland,   
   >> California, and is eligible for both the vice presidency and   
   >> presidency under the constitutional requirements.

   >> The question is not even considered complex, according to constitution   
   >> lawyers.   
   >>   
   >> Trump's political career has seen him questioning an opponent's   
   >> legitimacy. He was a high-profile force behind the "birther movement"   
   >> - the lie that questioned whether President Barack Obama, the nation's   
   >> first Black president, was eligible to serve.   
   >>   
   >> Obama was born in Hawaii to a Kenyan father and a white American   
   >> mother. Only after mounting pressure during his 2016 campaign did   
   >> Trump disavow his claims.   
   >>   
   >> Asked about the matter at the White House on Thursday, Trump told   
   >> reporters he had "heard" rumours that Harris does not meet the   
   >> requirement to serve in the White House.   
   >>   
   >> "I heard it today that she doesn't meet the requirements," he said. "I   
   >> have no idea if that's right."   
   >> =============   
   >>   
   >> You 'have no idea' about a whole lot of things, Mr Trump. That's what   
   >> happens when you skip classes and then pay someone else to take your   
   >> SATs.
