Felony-convicted former President Donald Trump and his rabid MAGA crowd have not handled the news of President Biden’s withdrawal from the race very well at all.
As we’re all aware now, POTUS formally announced that he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential election, effective yesterday afternoon, and quickly threw his formal endorsement behind his current vice president, Kamala Harris.
With the Democratic National Convention still a few weeks away, nothing is quite set in stone yet. However, it’s already pretty widely accepted among the Democratic Party that Harris will, in fact, serve as the Democratic 2024 presidential nominee.
This means Donald and his crowd can no longer rail against the cognizance, age, and mental agility of his opponent like they’ve been relying on for so long with regard to President Biden. To be frank, compared to both Joe and Donald, Kalama Harris is one Hell of a Spring chicken — and the MAGAs know it.

So much so, in fact, that they’re already stooping to new levels of disgusting depravity in an effort to hit out at and discredit the woman who could soon go on to serve as the very first female President of the United States.
Rumors hailing from literally more than 3 decades ago once claimed that Harris had an affair with the future mayor of San Francisco Willie Brown. Now, with her eye on the White House and a very good shot behind her, the MAGA crowd is already trying to cripple Kamala’s run by implying that she has somehow once again slept her way to the top.
The Daily Beast reported on particularly nasty comments made on social media by conservative columnist Matt Walsh, who said that Kamala “got her start in politics by sleeping with Willie Brown.”
“She became Vice President because Biden needed a non-white female on the ticket. Now she likely becomes the Democratic nominee for president because the guy at the top of the ticket has dementia,” Walsh continued to rant.
“She’s made a career out of begging for handouts from powerful men. A thoroughly unimpressive human being.”
Sickeningly enough, he was far from the only one with nasty, dehumanizing things about the vice president.
Far-Right attorney Clay Travis compared Harris to Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who allegedly had an extramarital affair with Donald Trump, was given a 6-figure hush money payment to buy her silence about it, and then became the epicenter of the ex-president’s infamous Manhattan Hush Money trial that ultimately earned him the title of convicted felon, 34 times over.
“So how is Kamala Harris starting her career in politics as the side chick of the married mayor of San Francisco not a hugely important story?” Travis stated in a social media post.
The Daily Beast included a 2020 fact check from Reuters, in which the claims about Kalama Harris were thoroughly put to the test. The publication found that Harris was involved in a consensual relationship with Brown in 1994, more than a full decade after Brown had separated from his wife.
The fact check clearly states, “Harris and Brown’s relationship was not secret and they made public appearances as a couple.”
