Mayor Willie “Ayatollah of the Assembly” Brown Talks Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris

by

“Poontranage” or just venial ‘Patronage’ – The Mayor Willie Brown, Kamala Harris hookup?

From USA Today, “Former S.F. Mayor Willie Brown writes about dating Kamala Harris, appointing her to posts.”

Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown addressed his past relationship with Sen. Kamala Harris in a letter to the San Francisco Chronicle on Saturday and acknowledged giving her appointments that furthered her career.

“Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago,” wrote Brown, who said he had “been peppered with calls from the national media about my ‘relationship’ with Kamala Harris, particularly since it became obvious that she was going to run for president.”

Brown was married at the time he and Harris dated, but – because he had been “estranged from his wife” Blanche Brown since 1981, according to People magazine –the relationship was not kept secret. A Sacramento Bee reporter told People that Brown “had a succession of girlfriends” and would “go to a party with his wife on one arm and his girlfriend on the other.”
