    Kamala Harris's entire poltical career can be traced back to fucking Willie Brown.

    Nice BMW you got there Kamala. Thanks. Willie bought it along with the jobs he gave me.

    You can bet Kamala gave Willie a few "jobs" too.

    Some feminist she is. About like Hillary who says that any woman can be president by marrying a president first and then covering up his abuse of women for years.

    Willie Brown Admits He Boosted Kamala Harris’s Career
    Influential California Democrat had extramarital relationship with Harris in 1990s

    Former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown broke his silence on his relationship with Democratic senator Kamala Harris on Saturday, admitting in his weekly column that he used his powerful post to boost her young career when they dated.

    Brown, who was openly in an extramarital relationship with Harris when he was speaker of the California State Assembly and running for mayor, had avoided commenting on his relationship with Harris since she announced her run for president a week ago. Harris has also managed to avoid addressing the role Brown played in the early stages of her political career.

    In his weekly San Francisco Chronicle column, however, Brown referred to it as the "elephant in the room" and acknowledged that he used his position to help her career.

    "I’ve been peppered with calls from the national media about my ‘relationship' with Kamala Harris, most of which I have not returned," Brown wrote. "Yes, we dated."

    Brown goes on to address the fact that he appointed Harris, who was just a few years out of law school and working at the Alameda County district attorney's office, to two well-paid posts on California state commissions and later helped her in her first election.

    "Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker," he writes. "And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco."

    The two reportedly broke up in December 1995 just before he became mayor, but he remained a political ally.

    Brown is credited for connecting Harris with the donors who boosted her successful 2004 campaign for San Francisco district attorney, during which she outraised her incumbent opponent. The Los Angeles Times reported this week that Brown's "stamp of approval was crucial in raising money from the San Francisco establishment."

    Brown attempts to belittle his help for Harris, noting that he also "helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein." He was never involved romantically with any of these three.

    The two positions Brown appointed Harris to—on the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission—paid handsomely. SF Weekly reported back in 2003 that the two positions earned her more than $400,000 over five years.

    Harris defended her decision to take the posts Brown got for her in her 2003 interview with SF Weekly despite her lack of experience.

    "Whether you agree or disagree with the system, I did the work," she said. "I brought a level of life knowledge and common sense to the jobs."

    Brown also reportedly gifted Harris with a BMW in 1994. He is 31 years older than Harris.

    Brown remains a supporter of Harris, but wrote in his column that he is concerned the buzz around her campaign launch may not translate into actual support from voters.

    "California Sen. Kamala Harris is riding a buzz wave the likes of which we haven’t seen in years," he wrote. "The question is whether she can turn the buzz into a solid political operation."

    He said her first big test will be whether she can fill the streets during her campaign launch event on Sunday in Oakland's Frank Ogawa Plaza like former President Barack Obama did during his first campaign in 2007.

    "That feat took months of old-fashioned organizing by Obama’s operation," he wrote. "It will be interesting to see if Harris can match it using social media."

    There is a difference between "dating" and getting your brains fucked out. Perhaps Willie would like to clarify their relationship?

  7. Perhaps Willie's wife would have liked to know the answer to that too. Or maybe she didnt care. Willie probably gave her nuff cash so that she did not care what Willie did.

  8. Uh oh. I did not heretofore know that the aforementioned Willie was still living. Probably no big deal except that all the old gasbags- both women and men- who are no longer of any interest to anyone suddenly like to make quotable quotes when the media starts making them think they are important again. Kind of a pain in the arse when you are trying to run a national campaign. Maybe Trump can give Kamala some advice on how to deal with it.
