"Is She His Daughter?": 1995 Footage of Kamala Harris and Willie Brown Resurfaces
It's well-known that Kamala Harris' political career took off after her relationship with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who was instrumental in her rise to power.
In 1994, Brown appointed Harris to the unemployment insurance appeals board. She then moved on to the California Medical Assistance Commission. In 2000, while Brown was still Mayor of San Francisco, Harris secured a position at City Hall, working under city attorney Louise Renne. In 2001, she was romantically linked to talk show host Montel Williams.
Harris' career trajectory continued to soar as she became San Francisco District Attorney, the Attorney General of California, a US Senator, Joe Biden's running mate in the 2020 US election, and now the Vice President. However, it's worth noting that her staff reportedly has a strained relationship with her.
In 1995, at the height of her relationship with Brown - who was 30 years her senior - a reporter asked her a pointed question while she was out with Brown: "Are you his daughter?"
This clip from a 1995 ABC profile of San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown has recently resurfaced, causing quite a stir.
For a deeper understanding of Harris' career in California, Guy Saperstein, a trial lawyer in the San Francisco Bay Area, shared his insights last year. He described his close relationship with Brown, who was a personal friend and political supporter of trial lawyers. Saperstein also discussed Brown's well-known relationship with a much younger woman - Kamala Harris, who was then a relatively unknown assistant city attorney.
According to Saperstein, Harris then ran for District Attorney with the support of Brown's influential political machine, ultimately winning the position. However, Saperstein noted that Harris was often absent from work, and was later criticized by a judge for not maintaining a good chain of custody for evidence. Saperstein suggested that Harris should have been disbarred for her actions, but was protected by the liberal "old boys" network in San Francisco.
As a result of Harris' alleged negligence, 1,100 felonies had to be dismissed. Saperstein described this as unprecedented in American jurisprudence, and criticized Harris for her willingness to let 1,100 people potentially go to prison due to her errors.
Tulsi Gabbard, a fellow Democrat, has also criticized Harris for her record on criminal justice reform, the death penalty, and the war on drugs.
Bottom Line
This article provides an interesting perspective on Kamala Harris' rise to power and her relationship with Willie Brown. It also raises questions about her professional conduct during her time as San Francisco District Attorney. What are your thoughts on this matter? Do you think these allegations have any bearing on Harris' current role as Vice President? Feel free to share this article with your friends and discuss.
