Kamala Harris spent $1,000,000,000 plus on her disaster of a campaign trying to snow the voters. “Money talks and B.S. walks” and “Money can’t buy you love”. Will the Democrats learn? They threw buckets of dollars at Kamala’s campaign and still overspent. Now, staffers are being laid off and vendors are getting stiffed. Poor fools.

Imagine this: Union leadership is not best pleased with the campaign, according to Axios:

The union representing workers at the Democratic National Committee blasted the party’s leadership Monday morning following large layoffs the past several days.

“The principles we champion on the national stage have been disregarded in our own workplace,” the union said in a statement obtained by Axios.

Can you imagine that? Democrats, the champions of the little people, ignoring the little people and lining the pockets of the rich folks. Rich folks like Oprah Winfrey. Remember when everyone got their knickers in a knot over Oprah’s production company getting $1 million? That was a lie.

Oprah is furious that anyone would expect her to pay money out to her own staff when there is an entity to charge it back to:

Two individuals familiar with the details told the *New York Times* that the $2.5 million payment is still a small portion of Harris’ estimated $1.5 billion campaign budget.

The iconic TV personality denied receiving any personal payment from the Harris campaign, while a former campaign adviser confirmed that no payments were made to individuals for their appearances or endorsements.

Winfrey clarified that the funds were used to pay her production team and to meet the campaign’s requirements for the event.

She stated: “I was not paid a dime. For the live-streaming event in September, my production company Harpo was asked to bring in set design, lights, cameras, crew, producers and every other item necessary (including the benches and the chairs we sat on) to put on a live production. I did not take any personal fee,” Winfrey wrote on Instagram.

“However, the people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story.”

The Harris campaign set records for collecting the most donations in the shortest time. However, it also became one of the most expensive campaigns, spending $1.5 billion in just 15 weeks.

This massive budget also left the Democratic Party with a $20 million debt.

Layoffs and post-campaign debt of $20 million. More from Axios:

Driving the news: The DNC dismissed hundreds of employees this past week.

Most people let go were only hired to work through the election but some were considered “permanent” employees that stay on between election cycles.
Many DNC employees felt blindsided by the extent of the layoffs and felt that their managers had not been upfront with them about the possibility, eight current and recently fired DNC aides told Axios.
In a statement, the union said: “DNC leadership refuses to disclose to the DNC Staff Union the full extent of these layoffs and whether additional cuts are planned.”

The union called for the DNC to offer “severance to every permanent employee who was laid off” and more for transparency from the party’s leadership.
Between the lines: The layoffs have raised more anxiety about the extent of the debt from Kamala Harris’ campaign.

What they’re saying: A permanent DNC employee fired this week told Axios: “If they want to be the party of the working people they should have more respect for their workers. There’s an inauthenticity to how they talk about workers and clearly voters feel the same thing.”

It was always bogus that Democrats were the party of working people. True, that the Republicans were Country Club types. True, that Democrats courted working folks. Neither Party wanted to hear from workers. If you ever saw Kamala Harris you knew that she knew nothing about workers. She would take union money but don’t expect her to interact with them. The inauthenticity just jumps off the screen in this video:

Most of what she said is not true either.

Kamala Harris spent an astonishing amount of money in 15 weeks and still ended up in debt. The money talked and the people didn’t buy a word and they walked. Next go round the Democrats might want to go for authenticity. No fake accents or throwing money to rich folks like Oprah. Money won’t buy you love. Well, not for long anyway.
