"Sure, I dated Kamala Harris. So what? "


I’ve been peppered with calls from the national media about my “relationship” with Kamala Harris, particularly since it became obvious that she was going to run for president. Most of them, I have not returned.

Yes, we dated. 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.

And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco. I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians.

The difference is that Harris is the only one who, after I helped her, sent word that I would be indicted if I “so much as jaywalked” while she was D.A.

That’s politics for ya.

If true, there could be all sorts of reasons she would distance herself from him afterwards.

..to attack, denigrate, suppress her voice. I am 100% certain that when she, the democratic presidential nominee, debates odious oaf in WH, that is, if 5x draft dodger doesn't chicken out..no huffing and puffing, bullying, name calling, nor stalking her on stage [as he did with H.Clinton] will keep her from making garas [shreds, rags] out of him; she will pulverize him!

What did Senator Harris just say? When asked how she will deal with guy in WH while campaigning...she said that she "will prosecute the case against Donald frikng trump," ok she left expletive out. Kamala Harris is the type of person, that when she says something--she means it!

Ps thanks for post. Paz.

Regarding debates because he's a coward; he calls mainstream media the enemy yet they let him suck the oxygen out of the room; give undeserved coverage spreading his hate propaganda and lies. Do they fear him, or is it just about ratings and profit?

And I don’t mean that in a sarcastic way. He’s witty. Some people might not remember it, but he was tipped off by a friend not to fly on 9/11. I don’t remember hearing who it was.
