When Vice President Kamala Harris finally made the decision to visit the Mexico border last week, people inside her own office were blindsided by the news.
For days, aides and outside allies had been calling and texting with each other about the political fallout that a potential trip would entail. But when it became known that she was going to El Paso, it left many scrambling, including officials who were responsible for making travel arrangements and others outside the VP’s office charged with crafting the messaging across the administration.
The handling of the border visit was the latest chaotic moment for a staff that’s quickly become mired in them. Harris’ team is experiencing low morale, porous lines of communication and diminished trust among aides and senior officials. Much of the frustration internally is directed at Tina Flournoy, Harris’ chief of staff, a veteran of Democratic politics who began working for her earlier this year.
In interviews, 22 current and former vice presidential aides, administration officials and associates of Harris and Biden described a tense and at times dour office atmosphere. Aides and allies said Flournoy, in an apparent effort to protect Harris, has instead created an insular environment where ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out. Often, they said, she refuses to take responsibility for delicate issues and blames staffers for the negative results that ensue.

Think Hillary, only younger meaning much worse.
All her help will end up looking like her step daughter.
And not as sharp either.
Pray for Senile Joe......
yes, I am serious
Politico is trying to help Kamala, situation is probably way worse than described 😅
Oh, I’m sure we’ll learn all about her saintliness when Dementia Joe finally calls it quits. The media will demand that you sing the praises of her virtue, under penalty of being punished as a dangerous racist if you aren’t a fan. The conventional wisdom is that they’re going to try to drag Joe through 2 years, so that Kamala can serve 2 full terms after she finishes out what’s left of Joe’s term.
Knees
What’s ya expect??
The propaganda media would rather talk about the chaos in Harris’ office then they would about the ridiculousness of going to El Paso to discuss the problems at the border. Of course the Biden administration says there are no problems at the border so going to El Paso where there are no problems is to imply that there aren’t any problems anywhere.
Harris' staff---Flournoy is a Clinton retread.
“the ridiculousness of going to El Paso to discuss the problems at the border”
Yep....she might as well have gone to disneyworld
Dissent over what? She does nothing. Is that the problem?
All penis-less.
Isn’t there some sort of rule about diversity?
An incompetent Affirmative Action hire, by an incompetent Affirmative Action Hire, for an an incompetent Affirmative Action administration.
I have a splendid idea. How about telling the truth? By doing that you have so much less "crafting" to do.
I’d have guessed professors at Wellesley..
You have just confessed to being a racist. Anything else you want to confess?
Well, there was that time at Band Camp ...
