"No more pussyfooting around. If we're going to be racist, let's do it right and argue that blacks can't be citizens at all because they're slaves."
I looked it up, and it seems they are conflating rather understandable birth certificate issues for her not being an actual citizen:

Also, read the article, they are citing the part of Dred Scott about who qualifies as a citizen to begin with, not the actual racist part, but the logic is still flawed. Harris was born in California, a US territory, and that made her an automatic citizen.
This is a really stupid line of attack to discredit her and they fail basic law.
