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.

Kamala Hahaharris' chief of staff Tina Flournoy cutting out

Vice President Kamala Harris' chief of staff Tina Flournoy is yet another Harris staffer who will be making for the hills and leaving the administration behind. She will be replaced by Lorraine Voles as the shakeup of Harris' office continues.

The story was first reported by the Washington Post, the paper owned by Jeff Bezos. 

With Flournoy leaving and Voles replacing her, it's highly probable that Kamala Harris will continue to communicate in word salad and giggles. That is, nothing much will change as inflation continues, the border is still a human sieve, and PINO Biden continues to be as confused as a fart in a fan factory while the media covers for him.

Voles was brought into Harris' fold by Flournoy last summer, as Harris faced negative headlines for a flurry of staffers leaving her office because nobody could get along with her.

Flournoy, a veteran Democratic strategist and aide to the Clintons, was recruited by Harris in December 2020 as her chief of staff.

Harris, in a statement, praised the departing Flournoy, calling her a "valued advisor who advises and has value. She is also a confidant to me as we tell each other confidential things, which is what a confidant does without telling other people, and she is a tremendous leader for the office." 

"Tina is the consummate public servant and I will continue to rely on her advice, counsel and friendship," the vice president said.

Flournoy is the lucky 13th person to jump Harris' ship and will not be the last as Michael Fuchs will also be leaving the White House in the coming weeks.

Harris' national security adviser, Nancy McEldowney, left last month and her spokesperson, Symone Sanders, left the White House in December.

Harris is vice president by melanin default, not by her abilities.
