Her spokesman called back an hour later and asked a reporter not to publish anything Harris had said Wednesday night about the dinner.

More Lies from the MSM out on a witch hunt.

While the MSM may be out to "get" Harris, she is adept at putting her foot in her mouth...seemingly on a daily basis.

From the article:

The dinner first became an issue within the campaign late last summer when senior advisers learned that Wade had been one of Harris' biggest campaign contributors a year earlier.

Rollins said he questioned Harris at the time about her relationship with Wade and about the dinner meeting.

At that point, Rollins said, Harris told him she had instructed a campaign staff member to make sure her portion of the meal would be paid.

But Jim Dornan, campaign manager at the time, said no such request was ever made.

Dornan said he oversaw campaign expenditures, and none of the staff members ever approached him about the Citronelle dinner.

"They would have brought that to me," he said.

Rollins said the amount of the bill didn't become clear to him and other campaign staffers until early this year when Wade pleaded guilty. Rollins said he met with Harris again to discuss the dinner and asked how the bill could have been so much.

Harris, he said, told him that Wade bought expensive wine.

"She was very anxious," said Rollins, "and wanted to know how she could reimburse the restaurant."

When Rollins said that couldn't be done, Harris asked about repaying Wade. Rollins said he advised against that, pointing out that Wade, by then, was a convicted criminal. He said he told Harris to talk to a lawyer.

"I left the campaign shortly after that," said Rollins, who, like Dornan, was among more than half a dozen key staffers who quit Harris' Senate campaign in the past five months. "I have no idea what steps she took."

Oh, I know...everyone is now out to get Harris, right? I think the more reasonable explanation is that Harris is imploding. Is is possible that she is just a typical corrupt politician?

Yep, and more back-stabbing from the GOP establishment. Ed Rollins is a bottom feeder.
