Book: MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough Advising Kamala Harris Democrats concerned that VP's tenure has become "a slow-rolling Greek tragedy"

Vice President Kamala Harris has been taking political advice from MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, according to the authors of This Will Not Pass, a new book about the Biden administration in which New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns document the general consensus among Democrats that Harris's tenure as vice president has been "a slow-rolling Greek tragedy."

The authors note that by the end of President Joe Biden's first year in office Harris was "as politically isolated as she had ever been," and "few Democrats had confidence" in her ability to be the party's standard bearer in 2024. As a result, Harris has grown "impatient with her own aides," whom she blamed for "letting her down." The VP even "initiated an audit of her office to make it function better." No wonder she has such a hard time retaining staff.

Martin and Burns write that, in an effort to salvage her political career, "Harris began seeking out advice from beyond her inner circle, taking counsel from longtime veterans of the Washington scene like Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago mayor-turned-ambassador to Japan, and Joe Scarborough, the congressman-turned-MSNBC star."

Scarborough is currently married to Morning Joe cohost Mika Brzezinski, sometimes referred to as "low I.Q. Crazy Mika" by former president Trump.

The reporting in This Will Not Pass makes clear that Biden and his team of advisers were never particularly fond of Harris, whose only highlight from her failed presidential campaign in 2020 was denouncing Biden as a racist. When it came time to choose a running mate, the authors write, Harris was "neither the candidate who most greatly impressed Biden's vice-presidential search committee, nor the person his advisors saw as most immediately prepared for the presidency."

Is Joe Scarborough still secretly a Republican? He’s doing a great job of destroying Kamel Toe.

She is an idiot, but Obama did not care, he wanted her because she is more ineligible than he is.

Indo-Jamaican at birth with NO citizen parent.

Only by accident of geography is she an American.

Anyone who believes she is a natural born citizen also believes every Chinese tourist baby is eligible to be President.

“Vice President Kamala Harris has been taking political advice from MSNBC host Joe Scarborough....”

Indication #473 of poor judgement on Kam’s part.

Slow rolling Greek tragedy. Yep, describes pretty accurately the implosion of the USA for the last 30 years.

Word is he's got another book entitled 'How to Cover-up Your Political Mistakes' that deals with this sensitive subject--the forward is authored by the Clintons.

The only thing I disagree with in this piece is the term “slow rolling”. Harris is a high-speed train wreck about to happen.

I'm not a Harris fan but she needs advice from someone in her party who's sane... Trey has had some decent democrats on his Sunday Show - maybe one of them could offer advice.

It may be a Greek tragedy but it’s one they’ve chosen to attend.
