Vice President Kamala Harris‘ 90-year-old ex-boyfriend Willie Brown believes that President Joe Biden should step down as president so that she can take the job.
Harris reportedly considers the former California state assembly speaker, and former San Francisco mayor, to be one of her political mentors.
Brown cleared up a few issues via his comments he made during an interview with Politico columnist Jonathan Martin.
The popular far left politician candidly revealed his thoughts about Harris, who he dated when he was 60 and running for mayor of San Francisco, and she was a relatively unknown 29-year-old prosecutor.
Brown joked that if Harris won the presidency, ‘She’ll deport my a**,’ a joke he has long made about his former girlfriend turned political protégé.
He also expressed concerns that Harris had ‘the Hillary syndrome’ and that ‘people don’t like her,’ which he said was an unfixable problem.
Brown also revealed that Harris was not former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s first choice for president and that he worked to make sure his other political protege Gov. Gavin Newsom was fully behind Harris.
Willie also confirmed the story of how when he was dating Kamala Harris in the 1990s and participating an event at Harvard, then-business developer Donald Trump flew Brown, Harris and his team aboard his private plane for a meeting in New York.
Harris was not at the meeting, but Brown says he has a picture of he and Harris on Trump’s plane.
Brown gave Harris a significant boost in her political career, as detailed in Amateur Hour: Kamala Harris in the White House.
When they dated, Brown was considered the most powerful politician in California, and although he was still married to his wife Blanche.
Brown appointed Harris to two different state boards, which paid her more than $400,000 over five years and gave her the keys to a BMW. He opened the doors to the wealthy and the powerful people of San Francisco.
Brown broke up with Harris after their year-long relationship, but he was always around to offer a helping hand during her political career.
Harris famously threw Brown under the bus during her campaign for San Francisco District Attorney, insisting that her romantic and political connection with the mayor was over.
‘Willie Brown is not going to be around. He’s gone—hello people, move on,’ Harris told SF Weekly in a 2003 magazine profile insisting she would be ‘independent’ of Brown and that ‘he would probably right now express some fright about the fact that he cannot control me.’
‘His career is over; I will be alive and kicking for the next 40 years. I do not owe him a thing,’ she claimed.
