Kamala Harris launched political career with $120K 'patronage' job from boyfriend Willie Brown

Then 30, Harris was dating 60-year-old Willie Brown, at the time the Democratic speaker of the California State Assembly, when he placed her on the California Medical Assistance Commission in 1994. The position paid over $70,000 per year, $120,700 in current money, and Harris served on the board until 199

Brown’s decision to appoint Harris raised eyebrows in political circles. “Both boards are reserved for political payback or occasionally for personal rewards for personal service,” said Brett Granlund, a former California Republican state assemblyman who worked closely with the commission while Harris was on the board. “The boards are considered plumb appointments as they require no work, no policy credentials, and are paid the equivalent of a full-time [state] senator for arriving at a one- to two-hour meeting each month.”

The breakup reportedly happened shortly after Brown met 32-year-old San Francisco socialite Carolyn Carpeneti, a woman with whom he would later have a daughter. While the two were dating, Carpeneti was paid $2.33 million for campaign work from a network of nonprofit groups and committees run by Brown and his associates, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Think of it this way: The Left hates Trump's guts. But I guarantee you, there's this deep-down, unspeakable type of respect that they give him because he's BOSS. They're not going to play him like a chump, like they do to the Bushes.

It's just a different level of respect many conservatives have for Willie Brown. I'm not talking open admiration or anything like that. Even Rush Limbaugh has praised him. Because he's straight-forward and doesn't BS people.
