“This Will Not Pass” reveals Harris gets angry when WH staffers don’t rise for her arrival.
QUICK FACTS:
- Co-authored by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns, “This Will Not Pass” details the dark secrets of VP Harris.
- “The chief of staff to Kamala Harris telephoned the West Wing and told a senior adviser in the West Wing to Biden, ‘The VP has noticed this and she would like folks to stand – staff members to stand – when she enters the room,'” Martin told NBC host Chuck Todd.
- “This pulls back, I think, the curtain on what this White House is really like. The tensions are deep and they are real between the VP’s office and the West Wing,” Martin continued.
AUTHOR OF NEW REVEALING BOOK EXPOSES THE WHITE HOUSE:
“What we reveal in the book is that the president’s own chief pollster was warning as early as April of 2021,” author Jonathan Martin said. “The president’s barely taken office at that point, and his pollsters are already warning him, ‘You’ve got to take this stuff seriously.’ And they just didn’t.”
BACKGROUND:
- Last month, Harris’ chief of staff Tina Flournoy announced she was leaving her position among a growing list of Harris aides who have quit over the past year.
- Similar to Harris’ prior political roles, her current office has experienced rapid staff turnover during the past 16 months.
- “People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it’s an abusive environment,” one anonymous source told Politico in June of 2021. “It’s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like [explitive].”
