"With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence"
According to the Daily Mail, 67 staff members of the original 71 in her initial wave of hiring either quit or were fired. As far back as 2010 when she was the California Attorney General, Harris has been known to have a "toxic" workplace environment. Congressional sources told the outlet that Harris would berate staffers with expletive-laden tirades and frequently lashed out at subordinates. She earned an alleged reputation as a "soul-destroying" bully in the workplace.
California State University professor Barbara O'Connor said that if students interned for Harris they would frequently come back crying and feel like they "weren't valued" in the office when she was a government official in California. Working for her in the Senate after her win in 2017 was not all much different, according to the outlet. She had the ninth-highest turnover rate out of the 114 Senate offices in the years 2017 to 2020.
Witnesses recalled Harris cussing out Senate staffers who didn't even work for her and ordering them around in one instance outside the main Senate Judiciary Committee room, "Anyone who's staff, get the f*ck out of here!" she reportedly yelled.
In June 2021, Politico spoke to 22 people familiar with her VP office. All of them roundly said that the team had "low morale, porous lines of communication, and diminished trust among aides and senior officials."
"It's clear [with Harris] that you're not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work," one ex-staffer said. "With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So, you're constantly sort of propping up a bully and it's not really clear why."
pb has no doubt that fans of Curt's Holy Trinity and of po's metaphorical, and flesh and blood, Rachel have heard none of this. Seekers of truth knew this a looooooooong time ago.
Kammy does have the baggage of what she's said and done as a San Francisco liberal...
...AND it seems likely that GOPs'll soon be running ads proving that Kammy is a mean, nasty, just pain-bad person.
Gang,
This is what happens when your party is run by a corrupt smoke-filled room.
Dems have a candidate who ran in 020 but failed even to make it to the Iowa Caucuses. Good luck with that.
Clearly, po and Donna and Indy are smitten. But, moderate and independent common sense voters in purple states...
... I don't think so.
