Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro Alleges Kamala Harris Staff Questioned If He Was an Israeli Agent
Breitbart ^ | 18 Jan 2026 | Paul Bois

Democrat Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has alleged that staffers for former Vice President Kamala Harris questioned whether he was a double agent of Israel when vetting him as a potential 2024 running mate.

Writing in his new memoir, Where We Keep the Light, the prominent Democrat governor alleged that the former vice president’s vetting team scrutinized his views on Israel, mostly due to his being Jewish.

“Had I been a double agent for Israel?” Shapiro wrote in describing his offended response to a last-minute question from the vetting team. When he called out the question for its obvious antisemitic overtones, the team said, “Well, we have to ask.”

The questioner, former White House counsel Dana Remus, allegedly asked, “Have you ever communicated with an undercover agent of Israel?” Shapiro recalled saying in response, “If they were undercover, I responded, how the hell would I know?”

While Shapiro does not begrudge Remus for following directions, he noted that the questions illustrated “a lot about some of the people around the VP.” …

To think, this is the same democrat party that picked Joe Lieberman to run as VP in 2000.

Dumbasses. What did they expect a double-agent to say?

And yet Karamala is married to Doug "Smackin' Hand" Emhoff.

So Shapiro was intentionally submarined by Karamela's campaign, yet that was her only longshot chance.

Her team knowingly profited from driving her loss.

Rather than FEC/IRS them, make sure instead these same mandarins are on the inside of Gruesome's campaign. Then dangle the same grift in front of them to throw the election. It. wouldn't. be. hard.

That’s right. They sure did! That era (Year 2000) must have been
Peak Civilized Democrat.

Poor Joe died nearly two years ago, March 2024, from a fall inside of his home. Age 82.

Something about that ‘frightened Flapper Girl’ reminds me of
Senator Nancy Mace. She doesn’t necessarily appear like this, but the things she obsesses about veer toward a mild paranoia.

If Kamala had chosen Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as her Vice President in 2024, she would have won the election.

Instead, Kamala chose the Minnesota Moron, Tim Walz, and she lost Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin by just 230,000 votes.

If Kamala had flipped just 1% of the Trump voters in those three states, she would be living in the White House today.

It is not yet known whether Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is a dual citizen
of Israel, and could be an indication he is taking measures to hide the facts of his citizenship.

A vetting for Vice President involved questions from the Democrat Harris team about
his ties to Israel and whether Shapiro is now, or had ever been, a double agent for Israel.

Shapiro’s family has strong Jewish roots.

During vetting for the possible Democrat Vice President nod, Shapiro himself recounted questions from Kamala Harris’s team about his relationship with Israel, asking if he was ever an agent for the Israeli government.

Shapiro has reinforced his Jewish Identity & his relationship to Israel. As a prominent Jewish politician, Shapiro has strong connections and undeniable support for Israel, particularly for sending Israel billions of US tax dollars.

It is not yet known if the Israeli government enlisted Shapiro’s support to facilitate sending mega-billions of US tax dollars to the aid-dependent Israeli government.

Shapiro’s Jewish faith, his strong pro-Israel stance and his condoning sending mega-billions of tax dollars to Israel.........leads to probing questions about his connection to Israel and whether he holds dual citizenship.

However, the Harris team rejecting Shapiro as the VP nominee could be a troubling indication of Shapiro’s Israeli connections.

Re: "No, I do not believe she would have won."

Do the math.

Subtract 1% from Trump.

Add that 1% to Kamala.

Kamala wins all three states and exactly 270 Electoral Votes.

An individual needs to be an Israeli citizen to work in the Israeli government,
especially for roles requiring security clearance or military service in the IDF.

We do know that Pennsylvania Democrat Shapiro:

(a) served in the Israeli Defense Forces. Democrat
Shapiro’s serving in a foreign military is very troubling.

(b) Shapiro also worked as a public affairs officer in the Israeli Embassy.
Note well that working for the Israeli govt requires the individual to be an Israeli citizen.

Key Requirements & Considerations——Citizenship is Key: Most sensitive government roles, especially those in defense or requiring deep integration, necessitate Israeli citizenship, often linked to mandatory IDF military service.

IDF Military Service is Mandatory for citizens; exemptions are few.
Military/government integration is complex and non-existent for non-citizens.

In summation, Israeli citizenship is the standard requirement for government employment in Israel.
