Biden spokesman Jamal Brown responded by tweeting that Harris took money from Trump after he began to spread birther conspiracies about former President Obama.

"@KamalaHarris took $5,000 from @realDonaldTrump (the most he was allowed to give) months *AFTER* he became the leader of the hateful Birther movement & President Obama released his birth certificate," Brown wrote. "Then she held onto it *FOR YEARS* until Trump was a presidential candidate."

"Stop trying to make fetch happen," Sams responded, referencing the movie "Mean Girls."

"Y’all are better than this," he added.

"Do you have a serious response? Why did she take his money after he became the leader of the Birther movement - & after Obama released his birth certificate - and then hold onto it for years?" Brown wrote.

The exchange followed arguments between the candidates Wednesday night over health care and abortion rights.

The two White House hopefuls quarreled at the previous debate, when Harris questioned Biden on his comments about working with segregationist senators and his past stance on busing black students to majority-white schools.

Biden and Harris are among more than two dozen candidates vying for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
