She’s younger, photogenic, and affable. And pretty too. Barack Obama noticed. He said in 2013 that Harris is ‘the best looking attorney-general in the country.’ The old dog.
Willie Brown, the former mayor of San Francisco and Speaker of the California Assembly apparently agrees. He cheated on his wife with Harris – who is 31 years younger than he – and then rewarded her with two plum political appointments that paid her nearly $400,000 while requiring almost no work.
The fact that such positions exist at all is a scandal of its own, but that wasn’t enough. Brown was so delighted by Harris’s charms that he also reportedly gave her a BMW as a token of his gratitude.
Harris now having thrust herself onto the national stage, must be conflicted on whether to portray herself as the aggressor using her sexual empowerment to advance her career and smash the patriarchy or to claim that she was a starry-eyed ingenue who had suffered a #MeToo moment at the hands of a powerful, older man. Such dilemmas! You’ve come a long way baby!
