The plot thickens.
Kamala Harris allegedly got her start in politics when she was in her twenties and had an extramarital affair with San Francisco’s 60-year-old mayor, Willie Brown.
Brown admitted to the affair last year but it was largely ignored by the mainstream media.
Now, Brown is speaking out once again as Harris is rumored to be high on Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s shortlist to be his running mate.
According to the Daily Mail, Brown is calling for Harris to reject Biden’s offer to be his running mate in the case that he offers it to her.
His reason?
Brown argues that Harris should instead ask to be made Attorney General of the United States, because that position “has real power,” unlike the office of Vice President.
Brown said the only real importance of the vice presidency for Harris would be if she wants to run for president in four years because it would get her closer to the presidency than anyone else:
“True, the vice president does have an advantage the next time the party needs a new nominee, which in Biden’s case could be four years from now,” Brown wrote.
Brown, who served as mayor in San Francisco between 1996 and 2004 and as Speaker of the California Assembly, appointed Harris to the state Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission.
He also claims to have briefly dated Harris while she was an Alameda County deputy district attorney.
Brown wrote in an op-ed:
“Yes, we dated,” Brown said. “It was more than 20 years ago.”
“Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two-state commissions when I was Assembly speaker,” Brown continued. “And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco.”
This news comes shortly after Harris’s own father came out against her last year, too.
Her dad, David J. Harris, said in an op-ed in the Jamaica Global Online that his daughter is a liar and a fraud.
Basically, her father did not like her use of her Jamaican heritage as a punchline to look hip and win votes. He also outed their family as descendants of slave owners.
Ironically, Harris has been one of the main proponents of giving reparations to the descendants of slaves with taxpayer funds.
If Harris wants to pay reparations to the descendants of slaves, she has a prime opportunity to put her own cash where her mouth is.
She can start by writing checks to the descendants of the Jamaican slaves that her family-owned and worked on their own plantations.
Last week, it was reported that Biden is apparently down to these 2 names to be his running mate:
- California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris
- Former National Security Adviser Susan Rice
Biden’s allies believe his choices for vice president have narrowed to Harris and Rice — and they do not think he would choose someone else.
