Another Kamala staffer has had enough

Perhaps it's time to remove the door to Vice President Kamala Harris' office and put a turnstile in its place instead. Communications Director Jamal Simmons is slated to be leaving next month after only a year working for Harris, a woman who screwed her way to the top and became VP by virtue of her epidermal pigmentation, according to Politico.

“Working for Vice President Harris has been an honor and a privilege,” Simmons lied. “I’m so thankful for the confidence she put in me and I will miss this fantastic team more than anything.”

And if you believe that, you might be smoking too much crack.

Simmons, a veteran Democratic communications aide, intends to move to New York to endanger himself and his family. It was not immediately clear who will replace him as comms director but as long as it's a leftist, it doesn't matter. [See John Fedderman and Joseph Biden, for examples.]

Since becoming Vice President in 2020 [because Joe Biden wanted a black woman and chose one who referred to him in a debate as a racist] the Harris office has been emptying out faster than rats on the Titanic. It leads one to wonder what kind of working environment she has created to cause the "exodus," as The Washington Post put it in 2021. 

Symone Sanders, Harris' senior adviser and chief mouthpiece, departed at the end of last year, the Post reported, and it claimed as Harris had to deal with claims of dysfunction among staff as well as messaging problems with criticism of her on many issues, including her total lack of effort to deal with the problems the country still faces at the southern border.

Harris' speech writer Meghan Groob, policy adviser Rohini Kosoglu, Communications Directorr Ashley Etienne and Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh along with others, also abandoned ship. 

Lorraine Voles, Harris’ chief of staff, said in an email to staff on Friday that Simmons had originally agreed to stay for a year to help her “steady the [sinking] ship.” During time on the so-called Titanic, he helped to build Harris' “digital presence and building relationships with national, regional and constituency media,” she added.

He also advised her not to drink milk when asked a question as her laughter level would likely cause it to shoot from her nose.
