The head of news at Politico co-wrote a New York Times bestselling book in 2022 that was deeply sourced and expertly reported. One of the revelations in it was that Joe Biden himself questioned Kamala Harris' authenticity "privately" and "repeatedly." Image
Another interesting revelation in This Will Not Pass (2022) was that Biden focus groups questioned why Biden was emphasizing diversity over qualifications, something the authors dismissed as "ingrained sexism"Image
Despite Joe Biden articulating that his VP pick "be ready for the job," Biden's own VP search committee and advisers said Harris was not the candidate who most "impressed" nor was "most immediately prepared for the presidency."Image

The Washington Post engaged in some major revisionist history today about Kamala's well-documented reputation as a "demeaning" and "harsh" boss who runs "toxic" and "dysfunctional" work environments.

Here's just a sampling of the previous reporters and reporting WaPo ignored.🧵 Image

Two conservatives wrote a book after “two years of conversations” with GOP insiders, exposing devastating insights about Trump.

Just kidding—the book was written by progressives and contains damaging revelations from Kamala's own staff, which is why you've never heard of it. 🧵 Image
"The Truce" by Hunter Walker and Luppe B. Luppen, both of Talking Points Memo, was released in January 2024.

Like "This Will Not Pass" and "Lucky," it reveals a devastating portrait of Kamala Harris from those who know her best.

Here's some of the best quotes: Image
1. Staff Who Worked With Her in San Francisco, Her Presidential Campaign, The Senate and The White House: "The portrayal of Harris's leadership struggles...[and] stories of mismanagement shared by our sources on Harris's various teams were substantive, nuanced, and consistent." Image

A far-left immigration activist – who advised British Labour - is advising Kamala Harris.

That should be big news, but it was buried in the very column it was reported.

Just the latest example of the unprecedented earned-media challenge facing the Trump Campaign. 🧵 Image
The news that Frank Sharry, a tireless open borders advocate who has been around for decades, is advising Kamala Harris was actually buried in a column arguing Harris should follow Keir Starmer’s lead on immigration. Image
Here’s Frank Sharry cheering “It’s Ali Mayorkas!” as “an inspired choice” “the right person…to deliver on bold change.” Image

"strange and disappointing" "messy" "uneven" "fiasco" "fallen short."

That's not Trump describing Kamala Harris.

That's how Joe Biden and the Biden White House described her, according to a 2022 book co-written by the head of news at Politico.
🧵
Everyone has seen the now infamous clip of Kamala embarrassingly failing to defend her decision to not visit the border during the worst immigration crisis in American history.
Not as well known, and what the book captures, is that the Biden White House was embarrassed by Kamala’s performance as well. Kamala’s performance was seen as “strange and disappointing” and White House aides wondered if the Vice President was “just a very uneven performer?” Image

America's being ruined by extremist political dorks and politicians and media who indulge them. Women who cosplay as Handmaidens and men who cosplay in tactical gear are the same: losers chasing bizarre fantasies and make-believe because their lives are empty and without meaning
These extremists are a cross between ComicCon losers and Al Qaeda. They're not harmless. They're mentally ill. One of them shot Steve Scalise and three others in 2017. Thousands rioted last summer across America. Hundreds of them killed a Capitol Police officer on Wednesday.
The overwhelming majority of Americans don't riot. They don't cry when Supreme Court justices die, or display religious iconography of politicians in their home. And they sure as hell don't spend their lives on twitter fighting strangers.
