The right wing attack on Kamala Harris

In case you’ve been lucky enough to miss it...her affair with Willie Brown over 20 years ago is what they are all crying about today.

Oh and the Bernie bots call her a corporate shill.

All of this is found on the comment sections of the articles about her on the LA Times and NY Times Facebook pages and elsewhere.

Remember? Or did you never read the large number of articles about how they operated as imitation leftists?

They dated. Kamala was single and Brown and his wife were estranged. Its a non-issue to anyone that isnt already biased against her.

I don't care about old adult relationships or her record as a prosecutor or being corporate friendly.

And she's not "corporate friendly," whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean. As California AG, she got one of the biddest judgments against the banks after the Great Recession. She aggressively litigated enforcement of the Clean Air Act/greenhouse gas regulation, the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act.

And did you listen to her speech? She wants Medicare for All, free college, and a middle class tax cut. That not progressive enough for you?

Just for clarification:

RW trolls, I'm taking a page from your own playbook. From now on, any and all negative comments about Harris will make me want to support her even more. So, please, keep it up trolls. I'm following your RW practice of digging in under fire. The difference is that, in my support for Kamala Harris, I know it is for the right reasons. You see, I know for damned sure that she is an intelligent, super educated, liberal minded, young but tested Democratic candidate.

So I Kamala. You make some negative comments and I will add another

I have your number fucking trolls!

Whenever I hear RWers talking about her, they always use the same word: "Unlikable." Which basically translates to, "She's a woman who's not a doormat." You hear this word used for every strong female candidate. It won't be long until, "screechy," "emotional," and other words that basically amount to, "she's a bitch," are being thrown around. It's the standard RW playbook to knock down a strong female.
