[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Josh Shapiro Writes That Harris Team Asked if He Had Ever Been an Israeli Agent
In his new memoir, the Pennsylvania governor suggests that when Kamala Harris’s team vetted him to be her running mate, aides focused on Israel to an extent he found offensive.
Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, a prominent Democrat who was a top contender to serve as former Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate in 2024, offered his most detailed accounting to date of the vice-presidential search process in his new memoir, which was obtained by The New York Times.

In short: He suggests that it was far uglier than is commonly known.

In Mr. Shapiro’s book, “Where We Keep the Light,” the governor is measured in describing his interactions with Ms. Harris herself. But Mr. Shapiro, who is Jewish, details a contentious vetting process in which Ms. Harris’s team focused intensely on his views on Israel — so much so that at one point, he wrote, he was asked if he had ever been an agent of the Israeli government.

“Had I been a double agent for Israel?” wrote Mr. Shapiro, describing his incredulous response to a last-minute question from the vetting team. He responded that the question was offensive, he wrote, and was told, “Well, we have to ask.”

“Have you ever communicated with an undercover agent of Israel?” the questioner, Dana Remus, a former White House counsel, continued, according to Mr. Shapiro, who recounted, “If they were undercover, I responded, how the hell would I know?”[/quote]

Well I guess this is why he did not help her in Pa or was he just up set he was not selected?

Pretty thin-skinned. He can't take a VP vetting?

Shapiro won't win the Democrat 2028 nomination for POTUS. An AG appointment? Maybe.[/quote]
+1 NP to this thread, plain old liberal Democrat who’s been interested in Shapiro because he’s the governor of a must-win state and his approval rating there is sky high. This strikes me as petty BS. He put that sh!t on his resume so he needs to answer questions about it if he’s being vetted to be VP and it’s not antisemitism to do that. [/quote]
