Josh Shapiro rips Kamala Harris for 'blatant lies' about him in her memoir
Share and Follow

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has launched a fierce critique of former Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of fabricating stories about him in her memoir, which details her unsuccessful run for the White House.

Shapiro, who was once considered a potential vice-presidential pick by Harris, expressed outrage after discovering that her campaign memoir, “107 Days,” portrayed him as arrogant, domineering, and overly interested in the benefits that come with the vice-presidential role during the vetting process.

“Did she actually write that in her book?” Shapiro questioned during an interview with The Atlantic’s Tim Alberta, who brought attention to the critical excerpts in a conversation published on Wednesday.

“That is complete and utter nonsense,” Shapiro asserted. “Her accounts are nothing but blatant lies.”

In her memoir, which recounts the 107 days of her ill-fated campaign, Harris claimed that Shapiro was preoccupied with the vice-presidential residence, going as far as to measure drapes, count the bedrooms, and inquire if the Smithsonian Institution could lend Pennsylvania art pieces for display.

Harris wrote that the governor wanted to be “in the room for every decision” if she became president, adding that he often hijacked conversations and frequently needed to be told he wouldn’t have equal power.

Alberta said Shapiro’s reaction shifted between outrage and exasperation while reading the excerpts.

When asked if he felt “betrayed” by the vice president, Shapiro lashed out – accusing her of deflecting the blame for her crushing loss to President Trump, according to the article.

“I mean, she’s trying to sell books and cover her ass,” Shapiro snapped before backtracking.

“I shouldn’t say ‘cover her ass.’ I think that’s not appropriate.”

Harris’s book revisits the period after former President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate and the weeks of internal debate that followed before mounting her 107-day campaign against Trump.

She detailed the vice-presidential search, writing that Pete Buttigieg, who is gay, was her “first choice” for running mate but that the pairing was “too big of a risk” due to his sexual orientation.

“We were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man,” Harris wrote in her book.

“Part of me wanted to say, ‘Screw it, let’s just do it.’ But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk.”

Harris ended up picking Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.

Shapiro has since emerged as a potential contender for the 2028 presidential race.
