‘Trying To Cover Her *ss’: Democrat Gov Rips Kamala Harris For ‘Blatant Lies’

Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro (PA) went scorched earth on failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris this week, when he heard — seemingly for the first time — what she wrote about Shapiro in her then-unpublished memoir.

Shapiro, who was once considered to be Harris’ running mate, bluntly stated that the former VP told “blatant lies” about him and said she was trying to “cover her *ss” and “sell books.”

Harris claims in “107 Days” that Shapiro was overbearing and suggests he wanted to be a co-president if they won the election.

Shapiro had “mused that he would want to be in the room for every decision,” Harris also says, adding that this made her tell Shapiro that “a vice president is not a co-president.”

Harris also wrote that she questioned if Shapiro “would be unable to settle for a role as number two and that it would wear on our partnership.”

During an interview with The Atlantic, Shapiro was told about these comments, which were apparently unbeknownst to him at the time. “I did ask a bunch of questions,” he reacted. “Wouldn’t you ask questions if someone was talking to you about forming a partnership and working together?”

Shapiro was also told that Harris wrote that the governor asked her residence manager how many bedrooms were in the vice-presidential residence and was curious if the Smithsonian might work with him to loan Pennsylvania art for the house.

Those comments, according to The Atlantic, set off Shapiro.

“That’s complete and utter bullsh*t,” Shapiro said. “I can tell you that her accounts are just blatant lies.”

Asked if he felt betrayed by Harris, Shapiro continued to go off: “I mean, she’s trying to sell books and cover her *ss,” he said. “I shouldn’t say ‘cover her *ss.’ I think that’s not appropriate … She’s trying to sell books. Period.”

Harris performed incredibly poorly in her 2024 run for the White House against President Donald Trump. She decided against Shapiro as her VP pick, and instead chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who tanked a debate against Vice President JD Vance. Walz was also plagued by past scandals during the campaign.

Some speculated at the time that Harris opted for Walz over Shapiro since the latter is Jewish, which wouldn’t sit well with far-Left Democrats who are anti-Israel or even antisemitic.

Democrat Plan To Undermine ICE Has A DEI Twist

Democratic lawmakers are proposing new legislation to “drastically scale back” the detention of illegal immigrants across the country, which would also result in the release of any illegal immigrants who claim to be LGBTQ.

The “Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act” would end detention that is considered mandatory for many illegal immigrants, including members of the LGBTQ community, Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal announced Wednesday. And Immigration and Customs Enforcement sources told The Daily Wire it will create a gaping loophole allowing for the release of illegal immigrants en masse.

One ICE source quipped that “almost every” illegal immigrant detainee will now say they’re gay or transgender “just to get released.”

“It would spread like wildfire,” the source said.

Another agency source called the move a “f*cking joke,” adding that, “It’s gonna turn into bail reform like New York. Criminals just released because their feelings are hurt.”

NEW: Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) is set to introduce “The Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act,” which would DESTROY the Department of Homeland Security’s ability to arrest and hold dangerous illegal aliens.

The bill already has 123 Democrat co-sponsors.

In Jayapal’s own words, the proposed legislation “overhauls the detention system,” and “drastically scales back the use of detention.” The bill has the “unprecedented” backing of 123 Democratic cosponsors, Jayapal said.

The bill would also end ICE’s use of privately-run detention centers, which hold thousands of the agency’s detainees, while preventing it from detaining children and families. Along with the LGBTQ community, anyone who is above 60 years old or has a “serious” mental or physical illness, or is a pregnant woman, can be released from detention under the bill.

“This bill brings dignity, justice, oversight, and accountability to the detention system by repealing mandatory detention, prohibiting the detention of families and children in family detention, phasing out the use of private detention facilities and jails, and requiring DHS to establish civil detention standards,” Jayapal told reporters during a press conference Wednesday while joined by anti-Israel activist and former ICE detainee Mahmoud Khalil.

“The bill creates a presumption of release and imposes a higher burden of proof to detain primary caregivers and vulnerable populations. The bill also mandates the DHS Inspector General to conduct unannounced inspections and requires DHS to admit Members of Congress to detention facilities for unannounced inspections,” she said.
