Josh Shapiro Gives Clearest Indication Yet That Kamala May Have Snubbed Him Because He’s Jewish

Former Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign asked Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro if he had ever worked with the Israeli government during his vetting process to be her 2024 running mate, the governor wrote in his upcoming book.

In his memoir, “Where We Keep the Light,” Shapiro wrote that attorney Dana Remus, a senior member of Harris’ vice presidential vetting team, asked if he had been “a double agent for Israel” and if he had “ever communicated with an undercover agent of Israel,” multipleoutletsreported.

“If they were undercover, I responded, how the hell would I know?” the governor wrote in his book, according to the New York Times (NYT).

Shapiro added that the Harris team’s questions regarding Israel left him “wondering whether these questions were being posed to just me, the only Jewish guy in the running, or if everyone who had not held a federal office was being grilled about Israel in the same way,” the Jerusalem Post reported.

After saying the question was offensive, Shapiro was told by the Harris team, “Well, we have to ask,” according to his book, the NYT reported. This line of questioning “said a lot about some of the people around the VP ,” Shapiro wrote, according to the Jerusalem Post.

According to NYT the governor wrote in his book that Harris herself asked him whether he “would be willing to apologize for the statements I had made,” concerning comments he made on pro-Palestinian protests taking place at the University of Pennsylvania.

“Most of the speech on campus, even that which I disagreed with, was peaceful and constitutionally protected,” Shapiro wrote, the outlet reported. “But some wasn’t peaceful.”
