Kamala Harris' office allegedly rejected SCOTUS courtesy call: 'We want nothing to do with you'
By Serafin Gómez, Judson Berger | Fox News
en. Kamala Harris’ office bluntly rejected a courtesy call from the White House in the run-up to Monday’s Supreme Court nomination, according to a senior White House aide.
According to the account, the Democratic California senator’s office told White House Counsel Don McGahn, “We want nothing to do with you.”
The senator's office has since denied saying that. Asked about the claim, her office confirmed that the senator's chief of staff, though not Harris, spoke with a McGahn aide -- but denied the quote.
But according to the White House, the brusque response came as McGahn reached out to each Senate Judiciary Committee member to discuss the Supreme Court confirmation process. Fox News is told Harris’ office was the only one to reject the discussion.
The incident underscores the deeply partisan environment surrounding appeals court Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination.
Republican senators have largely coalesced around him, while many Democrats have vowed from the start to oppose the pick. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he’ll fight the nomination with “everything I have,” warning Kavanaugh’s presence on the court could threaten abortion rights and more.
Harris, similarly, tweeted that Kavanaugh “represents a direct and fundamental threat to the rights and health care of hundreds of millions of Americans,” vowing to oppose his nomination.

There, fixed it.
That’s a big relief for Kavanaugh.
Cannot stand listening to her. Mainly because she sounds like she is trying to talk while forcing out a bowel movement.
Uh Kamala, you got some Willie on your chin.
“She’s one nasty, vile piece of work. “
Yes she is. I voted for Loretta Sanchez whom I despise over her.
Remember... to be courteous is to be expressing white privilege.
