The Washington Free Beacon posted a hilarious hitpiece on Vice President Kamala Harris this morning. It’s a three-reporter byline, featured prominently on their website, and heavily promoted by its editors.
Their big scoop: HARRIS LEFT HER JOB AT McDONALDS OFF HER RESUME. PICS OR IT DIDN’T HAPPEN!!!
Yes, for real.
These dipshits are doing GOTCHAS by digging up Harris’s post-college and law school resumes and pointing out that she left off a few weeks working the deep fryer between her freshman and sophomore years at Howard University. This hard-hitting investigation is just asking questions about why the Vice President didn’t mention the McDonalds gig when she applied to be a summer law clerk at the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office in 1987. Instead, she included stints at Charles Schwab, the FTC, a senate internship, and clerking at a law firm.
Listen, I’m backing the Harris campaign 100%, but if you look at the history of San Francisco area politicians, you will see that very few are “clean.” I would not be surprised if it was the same for her.
Got anything?
I heard she also didn’t list any of her childhood lemonade stands on her IRS 1040 form. 🫢
Like, I’m not super excited about some of Harris’ likely policy positions, but the shit they’re trying to attack her on is laughable. Their opposition research team must be coming up with jack shit.
Of course not.
Nope. However she has ties to Willie Brown, who is a notoriously corrupt politician in the San Francisco area. It’s a “where there is smoke…” situation. My point is not to assert that she has dirt but to point out that declaring there is no dirt might be a bit dubious.
You could have stopped there.
“I think maybe there could be because someone else maybe sorta kinda” is not proof.
Also: “has connections to” has essentially no weight in this context. Unless there are personal ties or frequent contacts with this person (which OP definitely did not indicate), then it could be as little as “had a business interaction because their professional lives are related”.
Shit I could say Biden “has connections to” Donald Trump because they ran against each other
Lol, they literally dated right before her political career started. I see you didn’t do the minimum effort to even look into what I was talking about.
Yeah not for nothing but I’m not gonna bother researching a vague comment like “has ties to” from a random person on the internet to try and discern what they’re talking about. If so I’d be up to my ears trying to figure out who all those people that Trump is refering to when he says “people are saying”
You should learn to communicate properly. You didnt even do the minimum to convey what you were talking about.
Nice deflection
Yeah, that’s not even “smoke”
I never intended it to be proof, so I don’t see your point.
Nobody likes a concern troll.
“dated Willie Brown” is not “smoke” to indicate corruption.
She would not be the first to be corrupted by his influence.. It also doesn’t help that his proteges have all been running SF local government for years. It seems insane to me to dismiss their relationship as not a concern. It’s not a dealbreaker for me, but it seems absurd to think she is “squeaky clean” in light of it. I can be pro-Harris and express some critiques.
Again, what is the “critique” here? That she dated Willie Brown?
A politician who worked in the same town as another politician might have interacted with that person? Wow. I am scandalized.
