1. Having "dated Willie Brown, 13 years after he separated from his wife" does not contradict what I said that she was dating a married man. As Bob Blaylock correctly posted >> "“Separated” is still married." No one knows the personal details of Brown's separation, and I haven't seen words posted from Blanche, Brown's wife in 1994/95, when he was dating Kamala Harris.
Trump was seeing Marla Maples when he was still married to Ivanka, he was seeing Melania when he was still married to Marla, and he was doing Stormy Daniels when Melania was home with the new baby. You really don't have a lot of business criticizing Willie Brown here.
2. Having been a "prosecutor BEFORE she ever met him", doesn't have a thing to do with what i posted relating to the things she was able to do AFTER she met him. Simply irrelevant.
She was appointed to a couple of boards. After she was done with those boards, she went back to being a prosecutor, and then ran for DA herself. Sounds like she's accomplished most of that on her own.
3. Your statement that "She dated him for 1 year, when he was a State senator, and they broke up BEFORE Willie Brown became Mayor Brown" adds credence to my posting that Brown had political power which Harris was able to benefit from, (and did).
Or that she had talent the people of california benefited from. The fact that she did a pretty good job on these commissions tells me that it was good call. He recognized talent when he saw it.
4. Yes, they voted for her, and in that election, her campaign was aided by Willie Brown, with the maximum donation allowed by law given to her by Willie Brown, + a Brown consultant working on her behalf with fundraising which raised $400,000, way more than her 2 rivals Hallinan and Fazio.
That's how politics works, buddy.
In his capacity as speaker, Brown appointed Harris to two political positions. The first was a six-month appointment to the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board; the second was a role on the Medical Assistance Commission, a body tasked with negotiating contracts to control Medi-Cal costs. At the time, Brown had a reputation for filling many openings with his personal associates and inner circle.
These are hardly prestigious positions, they actually sound like a lot of work, which again, she did well.
But you guys keep up with the misogyny and racism, it's going to do you well.
