Report: Kamala Harris' Staff 'Treated Like Sh*t'
A horde of Harris' helpers say they're treated like … horse manure.
In a Politico report released on Wednesday, the VP's staff drop some scathing critiques and sentiments about working for Kamala, and they say her treatment of them takes a toll on HQ's morale.
Several of Harris' current and former aides told Politico that the atmosphere is "dour" and that they are "treated like s--t."
Harris, the Border Czar for the Biden administration, has not given the media updates or much of a response to the surge in migration. The recent controversy has been a microcosm of the vice president's perceived incompetence as a leader.
Though she did make a long-awaited visit to the U.S.-Mexico border — noted as a detour on the VP's itinerary — her visit to El Paso was still miles away from the real border crisis. This, after months of no response from the administration regarding the influx of illegal immigrants at the Southern border. Staffers continue to receive blame as they are tasked with answering for all of Harris' flops — keeping her workers on pins and needles.
“People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses, and it’s an abusive environment,” said an anonymous source from the Politico report. “It’s not a healthy environment, and people often feel mistreated.”
Harris had previously received sub-par reviews from her staff after dropping from the presidential bid leading up to the Iowa caucus. One aide confessed, “This is my third presidential campaign, and I have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly.”
Accused of calling off meetings with top donors and displaying volatile control over her staff, Harris also demonstrated a disconnect with the American people. She made an early exit from the Democrat presidential primary, leaving her with very few avenues to reach the Oval Office as president. That is, until Joe Biden named her his running mate.
“This is someone who has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars — millions, even — for your boss and you’re just blowing them off?” detailed the report, noting the anonymous interviewee's sentiment as emblematic of the VP's staff.
The vice president may wish to establish a connection with the American people, but, like a 20-something on her sixth Tinder date, her lack of awareness creates a daunting path for Democratic leadership in 2022 and 2024.
