Trump Reveals Kamala Harris Failed Bar Exam On Her First Try, Fact Checkers CONFIRM

During President Trump’s appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, Trump stated that Kamala Harris “failed her law exam.”

Trump stated, “She failed her law exam. She didn’t pass her law exam so maybe she won’t pass the cognitive test.. I’m just giving you the facts!”

ABC’s Rachel Scott quickly refuted Trump’s claim and shot back “she passed it.”

Scott, however, failed to mention that Harris, indeed, in fact, failed the California Bar exam on her first try.

Watch the moment Trump said it here:

REPORT: Donald Trump was correct when he asserted that Kamala Harris failed the bar exam.

It won't be long until the media and Big Tech scrub this from the internet too.

Snopes confirmed Trump’s claim:

Harris did fail the California bar exam on her first attempt but she later passed and was admitted to the California bar in 1990, just a year after she graduated. As such, we rate this claim as “True” with added context.

The bar exam is a qualifying written exam administered by a jurisdiction for lawyers to practice law in that particular state.

According to a 2016 New York Times profile of Harris about her Senate campaign, she did fail the bar exam on her first try. Harris described consoling a recent law graduate who did not make it either: “[Harris] failed the bar exam the first time she took it. Harris says she recently consoled a young law graduate who also didn’t pass; ‘I told her, it’s not a measure of your capacity.'”

Harris was admitted to the bar in June 1990 according to the State Bar of California records. She graduated from the University of California Hastings school of law in 1989.

Per Mediate:

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump slammed his general election opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, at the National Association of Black Journalists conference on Wednesday, mocking her for failing her first attempt at passing the California bar exam.

After being asked if he would “consider taking a cognitive test,” Trump replied. “I would love to do it.”

“And making it public?” came the follow-up.
