It probably doesn't get more comical than to learn that a group of former Hillary Clinton operatives have gotten together in a quest to make Kamala Harris more...likeable.
According to Axios:
Details: The host was Kiki McLean, a Democratic public affairs expert and former adviser to both Clintons.
Her guests included Harris confidant Minyon Moore; two former DNC officials, Donna Brazile and Leah Daughtry; Biden adviser and leader of his outside group, Stephanie Cutter; former Hillary Clinton spokeswomen and Democratic strategists Adrienne Elrod and Karen Finney; and former Obama White House communications director Jennifer Palmieri.
Nobody from the vice president's office was at the dinner, but Harris is attuned to her outside network of supporters. Harris' office declined to comment on the dinner.
Behind the scenes: These were old friends getting together for the first time since the pandemic began, and celebrating a Democratic president after the Trump years. But the dinner had an urgent purpose.
Harris had been hit with a series of damaging press accounts, with leaks from administration officials questioning her political judgment and describing rampant dysfunction in her office.
The operatives spent the dinner discussing how to fight back against negative perceptions, and how to help Harris boost her national media footing.
Was that a hyena laugh we heard in the background? The idea of making Harris more "likeable" is laughable, given that the big objections from voters is about her abysmal performance as vice president on the tasks attached to her name, such as controlling the migrant surge at the border. That, and the fact that she's Instagram and Vogue photo shoot–obsessed, slept her way to the top, and comes off as a phony. Voters don't like phonies.
