Kamala Harris hasn't been the presumptive Democrat nominee for even a week, and already the press is desperately trying to insist perfectly valid criticisms of her are illegitimate.
The Times' On Politics newsletter Wednesday - think of it as political talking points for affluent wine moms, aka the Democrats' base - was dedicated to combatting "The sexist and racist rumors that have followed Harris for years" with "The facts behind several conspiracy theories and misleading claims about Harris that have spread widely in recent days."
"Cross one of Willie's friends and there will be hell to pay." Eventually, Harris ran for DA with Brown's powerful backing - a former Brown aide managed her campaign, and Brown played a key role in her fundraising, which was incredibly successful.
Once in office, Harris then dropped or pled out corruption charges against several of Willie Brown's friends that Hallinan had been pursuing.
Anyway, there's a lot more alarming reporting in Schweizer's book that's worth revisiting, and it's not a stretch to say Kamala Harris has engaged in outright corruption throughout her career.
Suffice it to say, when The New York Times takes Kamala Harris at her word that her relationship with Willie Brown was not "Improper," they're erasing the functional difference between lying and profound ignorance.
To say that Kamala Harris had an affair with a man more than twice her age, leveraged his fundraising prowess and connections to launch her political career, and once in office did his corrupt bidding isn't sexist.
