Kamala Harris’ historic political collapse continues as yet another high ranking member of her team has decided to abandon the dumpster fire of a vice president.
Sabrina Singh, Harris’ deputy press secretary, is the latest to call it quits on the vice president, opting to take a job at the Defense Department instead.
“We will miss her institutional knowledge, strategic counsel and rapid-fire email fingers,” Harris Communications Director Jamal Simmons wrote in a memo.
Singh’s departure leaves just one of the original four members who held a top communications position in Harris’ office when she was inaugurated.
According to the New York Post, this is also “at least the ninth key official to depart the veep’s office since this past summer — joining director of digital strategies Rajun Kaur, director of advance Karly Satkowiak, deputy director of advance Gabrielle DeFranceschi, communications director Ashley Etienne, chief spokesperson Symone Sanders, director of press operations Peter Velz, deputy director of public engagement Vince Evans, and speechwriting director Kate Childs Graham.”
Harris has received a heavy load of bad press following reports which exposed that the VP runs a “dysfunctional” office where she “bullies” her staff and dishes out “soul-destroying criticism.”
The insider reports about the sadistic Harris office were initially released – surprisingly – by CNN. “Many current and former West Wing aides say that Vice President Kamala Harris is not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined, causing frustration among staffers,” CNN wrote.
“Interviews with nearly three dozen former and current Harris aides, administration officials, Democratic operatives, donors and outside advisers — who spoke extensively to CNN — reveal a complex reality inside the White House. Many in the vice president’s circle fume that she’s not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined,” CNN said.
“The vice president herself has told several confidants she feels constrained in what she’s able to do politically. And those around her remain wary of even hinting at future political ambitions, with Biden’s team highly attuned to signs of disloyalty, particularly from the vice president,” the outlet continued.
And an unnamed staffer also told The Washington Post, “With Kamala, you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why.”
While the White House has tried to spin news of the Harris staff departures in a positive light, the reality is some staff have taken less desirable positions – focused solely on escaping the VP’s abusive office.
Vincent Evans, deputy director of public engagement and intergovernmental affairs, in January quit to take on a new job on Capitol Hill. He left to join the Congressional Black Caucus, which is headed by Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH), quite the drop-off from working for the 2nd most powerful person in the government.
Others, simply left as fast as they could and were not even worried about lining up another job. In December 2021, her top spokeswoman, Symone Sanders, and her Communications Director Ashley Etienne, both left their roles in the Harris admin.
At the time, Harris was just exposed for having enjoyed one of the worst approval ratings on record at 28% and rumors were swirling that the Biden administration was considering replacing her as VP.
Other reports from that time suggested that Biden and Harris were at war with one another – which created a fury of cover-ups coming out of the White House as they desperately attempted to bury those claims.
