90-Year-Old Former San Francisco Mayor Accuses Kamala Harris of Engaging in Past Affair with Him, 'I Gave Her a BMW and Introduced Her to Trump
Washington, D.C.- In a dramatic twist, 90-year-old ex-San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown has entered the public forum with stunning claims of his relationship with Vice President Kamala Harris. Brown, who served from 1996-2004 as mayor, says he dated Harris between 1994 and 1995 and was taking some very interesting turns in his revelations about the same period, going so far as to saying he bought her a BMW and introduced her to billionaire Donald Trump.
Brown discusses his relationship with Harris in interviews and says of journalist Dan Morain, author of Kamala's Way: An American Life that he was close with Harris at the time, in one of California's fast-rising political stars. He claims to have given her a luxury BMW when they were together and stated that she "travelled" around with him, including trips to Paris and attending such exclusivity as the Academy Awards.
An Explosive Tie to Donald Trump
Perhaps the most dramatic claim Brown makes is that he introduced Kamala Harris to Donald Trump in the 1990s. Brown told Politico that he flew on Trump's private plane on a trip with friends, and even though Harris didn't attend a particular meeting with Trump, Brown claims to have a photograph of her on board the plane with Trump. "I have the picture," Brown said, referring to the potential for additional investigation into the extent of Harris's
interactions with the future U.S. president.
The former mayor furthered stating that Trump also had a financial interest in Harris' political life. Brown asked that at the time when Harris wanted to be re-elected as the California Attorney General back in 2011, Trump signed on a $55,000 check in support of her campaign. The fact that Trump helped Harris financially may add a different dimension to Harris and Willie Brown's history, especially if one looks at the difference between their political views these days.
The Past Life of Harris and Willie Brown
Willie Brown is now in his 90s, but he has stirred up controversy for as long as anyone can recall. For decades, he has been a fixture of California politics and had a well-documented romance with Kamala Harris years ago, though nowhere near the level of explicitness he detailed recently. Harris hasn't often spoken of her relationship with Brown, but his latest revelations could give life back into what has been previously closed-off conversations surrounding their past and her eventual entry into politics.
The Politics Fallout
The timing is awkward for Brown, as Harris is considered one of the leading contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2024. These claims-cum-associations-including relations with Donald Trump-will bring awkward questions for the Vice President while she navigates already arduous political land. Critics will naturally wonder whether these past connections influence her alliances in politics today, considering Trump's divisive legacy.
However, most of them appear to regard Brown's statements simply as a publicity stunt rather than any window into Harris's personality or political reasoning. Harris's supporters argue that she was brought to power through sheer effort and interest in real issues affecting Americans and not a concern for personal relationships decades long past.
Willie Brown's claims seem to have once again revitalized interest in Kamala Harris's early political career and personal life. Given the trend that Harris is the first woman and the first woman of color to serve as vice president of the United States, it's almost natural to be very closely scrutinized. Whether what Brown says will affect her political future in the long run remains to be seen, but at least his remarks add new layers to the public's understanding of Harris's past.
