Willie Brown is also a bit eccentric, to put it mildly. And probably more than a little corrupt, but in an old school politics cronyism kind of way. And it got him in trouble more than once. He did hand out political appointments to friends and people who did favors for him. And one of those people was Kamala Harris, who was a young ADA in Alameda County and dating Brown at the time he appointed her to a couple of state boards. So when you hear people say Harris slept her way to the top, this is what they’re referring to. It’s ridiculous. Brown later disclosed that when Harris was elected San Francisco DA (they were no longer dating by then), she told him if he so much as jaywalked, she was throwing his ass in jail. It was her way of making it clear to him that while she appreciated the help early in her career, she didn’t owe him any favors. And Brown has never said a bad word about her, contrary to what Trump claimed.
You also may hear some MAGAts claim that Harris was having an affair with a married man. This is also a reference to her dating Brown. Brown separated from his wife in 1982, but they never divorced. So technically, when Harris was dating him, she was dating a married man.
ETA: By the way, this is all public information and easy to find. It’s not like Harris is trying to keep any of this secret. This is all on her Wikipedia page. Except maybe for the quote about throwing Brown in jail if he so much as jaywalked. I can’t remember where I read that.

In that regard, he also suggested at this presser that Presidents (meaning himself) should have a say in setting interest rates. As if politicising the Fed would lead to anything other than disaster.
Eco’s ur-fascism, characteristic eight:
The enemy is both weak and strong. “[…] the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

Wow, it was even dumber than expected. The press conference largely existed to attack Harris… for not having a press conference. Huh, when I put it that way, it sounds even stupider.

Trump’s clearly got too much time on his hands. Harris is busy campaigning and also being VP.

“Revenge Pizza” would be a pretty cool restaurant name. “Only vengefully cold pizza – you’ll be surprised how satisfying it is!”

But did she take time out of her busy schedule of campaigning and getting endorsements from various groups to have the press come over to her dining room so she could ramble incoherently? I THINK NOT!

Trying to distract from a certain anniversary, perhaps?
