A “soul destroying” critic and bully. That’s how former staffers of Kamala Harris are describing her. 

As Deanna noted in mid-November, CNN came out with a hit piece on Kamala. Now the rest of the liberal media is piling on. Thus far, Harris has now lost her senior advisor, her communications director, and at least two other senior staffers. Jen Psaki tells us this is no big deal. 

“In my experience, and if you look at past precedent, it’s natural for staffers who have thrown their heart and soul into a job to be ready to move on to a new challenge after a few years,” White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said at Thursday’s press briefing. “And that is applicable to many of these individuals. It’s also an opportunity, as it is in any White House, to bring in new faces, new voices and new perspectives.”

Jen tells us that people are ready to move on after a few “years,” except her key staffers are moving on in LESS THAN A YEAR. So, once again, Jen’s defense rings very very hollow. Even CNN’s Chris Cillizza isn’t buying what Jen is peddling. 

Not even Cillizza is buying that garbage. “If you believe that, well, you haven’t been paying attention,” he said. “Top advisers to a vice president don’t just randomly leave less than a year into a term. One departure might be explained away by extenuating circumstances. Two? No way.”

That is key, especially when you consider something that The Washington Post points out regarding Biden’s staff versus hers. Kamala came into office with only TWO people who’d worked for her as Senator or even Presidential candidate. Meanwhile, Joe…

By contrast, President Biden remains surrounded by staff who have been allied with him for large swaths of his five-decade career. The three men who served as chief of staff when he was vice president — Ron Klain, Bruce Reed and Steve Ricchetti — all work in the West Wing in senior roles. Even much of Biden’s communications team when he served as vice president now serve as the core of the White House communications office. 

In fact, the WaPo helpfully points out that multiple former staffers of Kamala’s work elsewhere in the government, do you think they’ll abandon their job and run right on over to the VP’s office if she asks? I highly doubt it given these quotes from former staffers. 

One former Kamala Harris staffer puts it this way: “With Kamala, you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why.”

Why does every single story on Kamala need this caveat — particularly when a story is focused on the departure of a black woman from her office? pic.twitter.com/HaJVZVJjU4

Great question! The fact is, Kamala is horrible at everything. 

We aren’t supposed to call her a Border Czar, yet Biden specifically named her as the one to fix the issue. An issue which has exponentially worsened in just the last few months!

We were supposed to applaud and do hand-springs of joy that her overseas trip to Vietnam would tell the world that “America is back!” How utterly tone-deaf of the VP and the Administration can you be? With Kamala, there’s no end in sight given her La Veep performance in Paris a few weeks later! Then there was the NASA commercials. So SO much cringe. 

Given the reports by the staffers that she refuses to read the briefing materials and backgrounders in order to be prepared, is it any wonder that she stammered all over the place during this interview with Lester Holt? 

Her approval rating is barely above 20%. And, as this video points out, many people are now describing her as the “incredible disappearing Vice President.” Kamala was given major tasks by the President and has yet to deliver on any of them. 

This article, from a former Harris aide, is brutal in its assessment of Kamala’s dysfunction, soul destroying work environment, and the bully factor. Keeping in mind that Kamala’s Presidential campaign was a train wreck, Gil Duran has some advice for her:

First, swallow your pride and adapt to the job. You’re essentially a presidential staffer, not the star of the show. You signed up for this. The president needs support and stability, not tantrums and turmoil. With the Republican Party working full time to thwart him, Biden can’t afford Machiavellian treachery from his own team.

As Gil notes, Kamala likely won’t take his advice. Then again, it’s evident that she’ll only go with what she wants to hear, and constructive criticism isn’t it. 

Evidently, one of her solutions is to have this creepy tweet sent out by one of her staffers. 

First of all, if you are happy with your job, how come you look like you are three seconds away from breaking down in tears? Secondly, that photo on the wall. Is Kamala’s husband doing HER job for her? Third, if this hostage photo/tweet is meant to reassure people that Kamala knows what she is doing, it isn’t working. 

I don’t know what’s going on here, but we will rescue you. Just don’t make any sudden moves until then. She can sense movement. https://t.co/loS8bPB56o

Want evidence that working for Kamala is soul destroying? That tweet from David Gins says it all.
