Will single issue voters (Israel) doom us in 2028?

8. so I was done with Shapiro when I heard him throwing VP Harris under the bus.

A number of forces on the left questioned Josh Shapiro’s ties to Israel during Kamala Harris’ rushed running mate selection process in 2024. In his new memoir out next week, the Pennsylvania governor says the former vice president and her vetting team were among them.

So much so, Shapiro writes in a copy obtained by CNN, that Dana Remus, a former White House counsel under President Joe Biden who became a senior member of Harris’ VP vetting team, asked him, “Have you ever been an agent of the Israeli government?”

“Was she kidding?” Shapiro writes. “I told her how offensive the question was.”

“‘Well, we have to ask,’” Remus, a former White House counsel under President Joe Biden, said, according to his book. “‘We just wanted to check.’ She added: ‘Have you ever communicated with an undercover agent of Israel?’”

So before I learned about this, I really liked Shapiro. I think he is incredibly articulate with a high emotional IQ as well. But after his comments, I'm done with him. Harris is a smart woman with a background in law. If her team asked Shapiro questions about his ties with Israel, they had damned good reason to.

Instead of playing games and acting offended, just answer the question honestly and move on. An effective team has to be able to speak frankly with each other.

But instead, it looks like he filibustered and tried to cancel Harris behind the scenes.

Shapiro will only get my vote if he's the democratic nominee.
