A former staffer who worked for Kamala Harris before she assumed the vice presidency said that aides in her office had to endure a 'constant amount of soul-destroying criticism,' according to The Washington Post.
For months, what was originally Inside-the-Beltway chatter about Harris' office has spilled into larger view, with the chatter threatening to chip away at Democratic morale when the vice president is faced with tackling some of the Biden administration's most challenging issues — including immigration and voting rights.
"It's clear that you're not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work," one former staffer told the newspaper. "With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you're constantly sort of propping up a bully and it's not really clear why.
However, Harris allies see the criticism as a consequence of her groundbreaking profile as the first female, first Black, and first Indian American to hold the vice presidency — as well as her future as a potential Democratic standard-bearer. Many also feel as though there's a heavy dose of sexism mixed in with some of the public reports about her office.
However, Clegg told The Post that he never felt as though Harris treated him in an unreasonable manner.
