I will not be shamed out of discussing this by people who say it’s shaming or it’s not relevant it is relevant when a young candidate tries to sleep her way into politics and into power and that is what it appears KLA Harris did when she was a young political aspirant in San Francisco when she had an affair with a man 30 years older than she was she was 29 to 30 and he was 60 Willie Brown who was like The Godfather of San Francisco politics and very welln and sure enough that relationship paid dividends for her in more ways than one that’s right Megan as you noted yesterday it’s it’s completely fair game to talk about Willie Brown It’s how KLA Harris went from a relatively unknown almea County prosecutor to the Forefront of San Francisco social life and politics it it Willie Brown was the most powerful politician in California when KLA Harris started dating her dating him and she he also gave her a number of positions we’re talking about $400,000 back in n in the 1990s that’s almost $800,000 in today’s money he appointed her to those positions that paid her lucratively he gave her the keys to a BMW and he went around the most powerful and most wealthy Circles of of San Francisco and California politics with KLA Harris on on his arm opening up the doors to her her uh you know professional and political future so it was back when again she was 30 years old he was at the time Democratic speaker of the California State Assembly quoting here from a Washington examiner piece which uh is very good uh the position that he gave her on the California medical assistance Commission in 1994 paid at that time over $70,000 a year which is about 120,000 in current money and she served on the board until 1998 so about 4 years that medical commission met twice a month so for two meetings a month she was getting the equivalent of $120,000 and you know why Democrats in San Francisco were mad about it it wasn’t because she wasn’t qualified which she wasn’t it was because those positions are supposed to be saved for only the most prized Democrats who Willie Brown really owed favors to who did really you know amazing things to keep Willie Brown in power but instead he gave one to his lover he was by the way still married though he was reportedly estranged from his wife for a long time so but she this was technically an extramarital relationship and they were mad that he gave one of his choice grifting positions not to somebody who’d done a lot for Democratic politicians but to KLA Harris and not just that there was another one he gave her second position as well um which was basically the same kind of deal where he just put gave her an appointment she rre in tons of money and boom Bob’s your uncle she was Off to the Races in Dem politics and then Willie Brown is on record is saying I also then helped her with her next big position which was becoming San Francisco da right when she ran for district attorney you know they had broken up um Willie Brown as soon as he ran and won the San Francisco mayor election um he broke up with kamla and then you know kamla was there for the victory party but by the time he the inauguration hit his estranged wife reappeared to be holding the Bible while he took the oath of office and kamla was kind of pushed aside um but you know Willie Brown didn’t forget her when kamla decided to run for district attorney of San Francisco he was there quietly nudging all of his wealthy donors and Powerful connections to help her out him and him and Terence Hollen on the existing um the existing district attorney were not friends anymore they had kind of had an ugly clash and kamla Harris likewise tried to Ted to overthrow hanan’s second in command but failed miserably and so she ended up leaving the office to kind of plot her revenge so Willie Brown was definitely there behind the scenes but KLA Harris did as much as she could before the election to disted herself from Willie Brown uh at one point doing a very long interview with uh San Francisco magazine throwing him under the bus entirely saying Willie Brown’s career is over he’s done hello my turn is here it’s KLA Harris sounds really familiar Megan compared to what just happened last weekend oh yeah I mean that the whole Democratic party is going to be stepping all over Joe Biden momentarily he’s going to get his weekend in the sun about what a lion he is and then as soon as they realize that they can blame everything on him and take it off of kamla that’s what they’re going to do he every it’s all his fault she didn’t touch it she was just a lowly vice president you know what was she supposed to do but talk to me a little bit about her background because she Rose if she Rose in San Francisco and then California right as the attorney general and then became a US senator from California all she’s had to do is compete for the most part I know there’s some exceptions against other liberals right like has she ever had to compete against a bull you know like Donald Trump like the the Silverback Guerilla like Donald Trump Republican versus Dem it’s on I realized that she ran as a vice president but she wasn’t the chief you know it was that was really Joe Biden’s fight well the interesting race is when she ran against Steve kolie for the Attorney General position in 2010 um kulie was a you know relatively sensible Law and Order Republican um from Los Angeles and really the last uh meaningful Republican in California politics and even it was a big year for Democrats they won by double digits for California de for California Democrats but KLA Harris really struggled against Steve coie and barely etched out a victory it it’s looked it looked like the night of the election that she had lost and lo and behold weeks later they did recounts and and um counted all the rest of the votes and she just barely squeaked off a victory it was really it was really close and you can definitely look at that campaign and and see that you know maybe she will be competitive in this race against Donald Trump as well but it’s hard to see that happening some are now trying to excuse her awkwardness repeated and everywhere as she lost her footing as vice president and didn’t have the confidence required to really be herself which I guess is the secret version of charming um is there anything in her past that would shed light on what’s true about her has she always been awkward like this with the weird laughing and the inappropriate jokes and the every time the failed attempts at profundity yeah a lot of it’s the product of being a California politician right when you’re a California Democrat all you have to do is impress the donors impress the the political power Brokers and kind of show up and demand a seat at the table Willie Brown taught her how to do that so she did have some level of of that with the top donors you know but she never really connected with the California people but as we’ve shown earlier you don’t necessarily need to convince voters you just need to convince the Democratic party and everything will fall in line for you pretty well pattern repeated itself sorry keep going Charlie yeah and so she the same thing happened when she ran for Senate you know she was she’s a very good candidate she’s very disciplined she loves the the sort of the knife fighting and and the the brawling she’s on the record saying she loves California politics because it’s a real fight so she is a sort of a ruthless politician a ruthless campaigner but after reaching you know after taking office there’s definitely a a drop down once you actually have to do the job she never seemed to take it seriously and spent more time planning for her next job that’s kind of what we saw in the First Years first three years of her vice president she she really was risk averse didn’t seem to be interested in the job she had but more interested in protecting her own political brand for the future and I think when you when a politician hits that stage the early stage of actually having to do the job I think that’s when they tend to lose their footing and stumble and I think that’s what KLA Harris ended up looking like and that’s why her staff kind of abandoned her because she wasn’t serious about the office she was holding and she was more interested in preparing herself to run for president yeah the reports were that she would fail to read The Briefing materials that she was given by the staff and then she would lash out at the staff for her not knowing information and meanwhile she just refused to do her homework this wasn’t in right-wing blogs that just hated kamla Harris this was reported in even in the mainstream about her terrible Behavior as vice president but now okay so we’re one day into her likely being the Democratic nominee she does this first appearance yesterday and this line this sound bite by now you’ve seen it our audience has heard it it’s everywhere the Democrats are like you go girl because of this it’s sought for before that I was a courtroom prosecutor in those roles I took on perpetrators of all [Applause] kinds Predators who
