While at her Hart Senate Office Building in Washington, a group of congressional staffers had gathered to meet the "Democratic star".
The staffers all stood up but for one, who Ms Harris ordered to get to his feet immediately.
Journalist Abby Aguirre wrote: "Harris has an air of celebrity that, under normal circumstances, a freshman senator wouldn’t have had time to acquire.
"But this year has been anything but normal.
"She greets the 20-somethings as though they’re relatives at a family reunion: 'Hi, everybody! Hi, guys!'
"Then she notices that one of the staffers is still seated, and her voice drops a full octave: 'Stand up, man!'
"The startled staffer springs to his feet. 'Kevin,' he says, extending a hand.
"'What’s your last name?' demands Harris.
"'Figueroa.'
"'Thank you!' She shakes his hand. 'Kamala Harris.' (That’s pronounced 'comma-la,' by the way, and you’d better get it right.)"

A lady would have let this trivial
matter go, and later, minus the
crowd, politely ask the he stand
when she enters. There are some
who were never taught etiquette.
Evidently, she has none, either.
That comment just made me laugh. I started thinking what if his earpiece said to him “talk about how you beat up corn pop back in the day” when he supposed to be talking about global warming. 😂
Until the woman proves differently!
I think CUMMALOT has PROVED DIFFERENTLY!
She seems so nice on tv.
Camilla sounds dangerously unstable and should be removed from office. I fear what she might due if she had the nuclear codes.
😂
A heel click and salute would be a nice touch.
“And yes, a gentleman would rise when a woman enters the room.”
In the modern workplace? I don’t think so. We men would never get to sit down!
DLA PIPER represents many CCP interests.
Yes, they do. And Kamala and Doug will make them very rich and powerful.
In the modern workplace? I don't think so. We men would never get to sit down!”
No, in the professional world, protocol is completely different. Different set of rules indeed. Protocol in a professional environment has none of the niceties of the courtesies in ‘polite’ society.
And yes, you men get to sit down while we women get the coffee. That used to burn me up. Not picking a fight, just giving my 2 cents.
He’s not a woman.
I didn’t say all women were ladies, but that a true gentleman treats all women thusly. It’s not their behavior he’s responsible, it’s his. That goes for all of us. This is for general social situations and common courtesy. I didn’t think that needed pointing out.
