If they haven’t done so already, the MAGAs are going to accuse Kamala Harris of “sleeping her way to the top.” This refers to her long term relationship with Willie Brown, the political heavyweight in California. Considering that he is a black man who operated more than 25 years ago in our largest state, I’d say his heavyweight credentials are of Ali proportions.
This theme is a longstanding tradition in politics. Women don’t make it on their own. You could say Hillary did it by her choice of husbands. Or, how about all of the wives who have stepped into their husband’s position upon his death? It’s the last name (not the first) that still had political pull… and value.
So, are we over it?
This sums it up nicely: "If women could sleep their way to the top, there’d be a lot more women at the top.” Gloria Steinem

DeleteGloria had the perfect response!! I read an article by ABC listing the “sleeping to the top attacks by MAGA” and the realities. I can send it if you wish. Camille
