Kamala Harris reportedly berates campaign manager for advising against attending Al Smith dinner
The Express Tribune ^ | 10/18/24 | The Express Tribune

Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly erupted in a furious tirade against her campaign manager, Julie Chávez, this morning.

According to a source cited by X (formerly Twitter) user @joma_gc, Harris angrily berated Chávez for over 30 minutes during a phone call. Chávez had advised Harris not to attend the Al Smith Dinner, concerned that associating with Catholic figures might alienate LGBTQ and pro-abortion voters.

Instead, Chávez suggested Harris send a pre-recorded video message to the 79th Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, a bipartisan event where presidential candidates traditionally attend in person. By skipping the dinner, Harris became the first nominee to miss the event in 40 years.

Former President Donald Trump, who attended the dinner as the featured speaker, seized the opportunity to mock Harris for her absence, increasing the pressure on her campaign.

During the heated exchange, Harris allegedly called Chávez "inept," "horrible at your f-ing job," and blamed her for potentially jeopardizing the campaign. Chávez, reportedly in tears, faced harsh criticism as Harris expressed frustration over what she described as “stupid advice.”

Julie Chávez Rodriguez, 46, is Harris' campaign manager, having transitioned from her role in President Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign.

“So as much as I dislike Harris and this certainly would fit her well documented pattern of behaviour a nameless source on Twitter isn't something I'm going to hang my hat on”

It is hard to believe some of the things that actually happen. For example, thousands of pagers and radios blowing up in the hands of terrorists and taking down the entire organization.

It may be someone infiltrated the Kamala organization and is deliberately causing the venture to implode.

It is difficult to attribute Kamala’s pattern of wrongheaded statements and actions to random occurrence.

I said it a month ago- she’s missing the Al Smith dinner? Presidential candidates don’t do that

You don’t miss the Al Smith dinner

Her CM should shoe her how much damage she could do to the campaign by quitting immediately.

I guess they really believe that many people are perverted enough to vote her into office. Also, I’m sure they’re looking at the LGBTQ community to be their literal foot soldiers just like mafioso to try and force people to vote their way with violence and intimidation. “Nice little school with sweet children you have in your elementary school. Would be a shame if a feeling-rejected transgender shot it up.”

“Trump…seized the opportunity to mock Harris”

I don’t recall his mocking her

He said she was rude to turn down the invitation

And she was. They think honesty and confrontation over rudeness is mockery?

Don't blame Molly Shannon. She needs money to pay off her grandkids layaway Christmas,presents, and get
her Oldsmobile to the repair shop. It's tough being a failed second tier comedian without any job skills.

“Well, Kamala you took the advice, the ultimate responsibility lies at your feet.”

If she took such absolutely stupid advice it shows that she was super stupid in appointing that woman her campaign manager and following the advice, since any reasonable person would interpret what she did, combined with Gretchen Witmer’s “communion,” as a deliberate insult to Catholics and Catholicism. Indeed, it was a deliberate insult to the whole Judeo Christian religious system.

“Harris allegedly called Chávez “inept,” “horrible at your f-ing job,”

Any manager who advised her to miss the Al Smith dinner IS “inept,” “horrible at the f-ing job.

I doubt anyone good wants to work for Harris, herself “inept,” “horrible at her f-ing job,”

A raging blamer. Harris will never take responsibility for losing this election. Everyone around her is in for it

But everyone knows you don’t miss the Al Smith dinner. Harris is an idiot

That “compassionate conservative” thing was an evolution of Bush 1’s kinder gentler approach. It accepts a premise that somehow conservatism is somehow harsh and cruel because it encourages people to work hard and take responsibility and to live within the constraints of the law.

“ Well, the 92% of kamalas staff that quit over the past 4 yrs would recognize this behavior…”

This is why I’m taking this lame Twitter account as some kind of true account

The phenomenon of dudeless rallies. Kamala’s audiences are now so bare of men that she can no longer find even gay ones to plant behind her in the audience like in past rallies. She’s going to have to resort to cardboard cut outs of them.

Be fair. There are some men present. Usually scattered along the back. They are bus drivers, security folks, peanut salesmen and the like.

Good probability of that being the case.

This is a link to the pre-recorded video Kamala sent for the Al Smith dinner in New York.
I was only able to watch the first 30 sec or so. Your mileage may vary.
This is a link to the video posted at Fox if you oprefer

“I don’t recall his mocking her.”

He actually did mock her and mocked her brilliantly. He said he could understand why she didn’t attend the dinner because she was “receiving communion from Gretchen Whitmer.”

Correct. She conflates dominance with leadership. Sometimes, leadership calls for dominance, but in my experience, only rarely. If exercised on its own, without having consistently demonstrated true leadership, it backfires. People then start looking for a true leader, weakening in this case the dominatrix who wants to be God. A complete s-— show, in other words, and yes, that’s what we’d get.
