As Americans struggle with historic inflation, a raging border crisis and terrifying crime waves, Vice PresidentKamala Harris is outraged that White House staffers donāt dutifully stand when she enters a room.
Thatās one of the bizarre revelations from the book āThis Will Not Pass,ā co-authored by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns.
The duo appeared on NBCās āMeet The Pressā on Sunday to discuss some disturbing findings from their research, which exposes the deep fissures between Harris and President Joe Bidenās aides.
Host Chuck Todd recounted: āHereās one anecdote you have: āHarris worried that Bidenās staff looked down on her; she fixated on real and perceived snubs in ways the West Wing found tedious.
āāWhen Harris walked into a room, the White House staff did not stand up the way they did for Biden. The Vice President took it as a sign of disrespect.'ā
The MSNBC host was shocked that the White House held a meeting to discuss this matter.Ā Apparently, the imperious Harris was furious because Bidenās staff wasnāt subservient enough to her.
āWhat was astonishing here is apparently, there was a meeting about this,ā Todd said.
āYes,ā Martin replied. āThe chief of staff to Kamala Harris telephoned the West Wing and told a senior adviser in the West Wing to Biden, āThe VP has noticed this and she would like folks to stand ā staff members to stand ā when she enters the room.'ā
The author continued: āThis pulls back, I think, the curtain on what this White House is really like. The tensions are deep and they are real between the VPās office and the West Wing.ā
Martin suggested the administration is so splintered because of tensions stemming from Bidenās dismal approval ratings as well as Harrisā profound unpopularity.
For reference, 13 staffers have resigned from Harrisā team during the past six months.
āWhat is hovering over all of this, Chuck, is ā24,ā Martin said. āIs Biden going to run again? And if not, is it going to be VP Harris?
āThat is the mood music hanging over the entire Democratic Party right now, as are Bidenās poor numbers.ā
In another part of the interview, co-author Burns said Biden was admonished early on that inflation would skyrocket and the border crisis would decimate his poll numbers, but he foolishly ignored these dire warnings.
The authorsā research contradicts this administrationās disingenuous assertion that it wasnāt aware inflation would surge.
āI think one of the prevailing narratives about the White House is that they didnāt see inflation coming, how they didnāt see it coming, that immigration was going to be this persistent political headache,ā Burns said, according to a āMeet the Pressā transcript.
He continued: āWhat we reveal in the book is that the presidentās own chief pollster was warning as early as April of 2021. The presidentās barely taken office at that point, and his pollsters are already warning him, āYouāve got to take this stuff seriously.ā And they just didnāt.ā
The book seems to affirm ongoing speculation about how divided this administration is and how unsuited Harris is to lead the nation.
From her repeated gaffes to her staffās mass exodus to her inappropriate cackling fits, Harris is like an anchor dragging down Biden and the Democratic Party.
Maybe if HarrisĀ accomplished something to earn peopleās respect, sheād be able to walk proudly into any room without a massive chip on her shoulder.
