In reply to the discussion: Just say no to Shapiro [View all]Autumn

some dickwad. She certainly prefers Roy Cooper. Fine. But she didn't come up with a factual reason, just a lot of what she thinks he is. Is there any indications of any of those issues of hers?
From the article you linked.
“I want a VP pick that’s secure enough to be second under a woman, is content to be VP & won’t undermine the President to maneuver his own election & doesn’t sweep sexual harassment under the rug,”
From the article you linked.
State Sen. Sharif Street, chair of the Pennsylvania Democratic party, addressed McClelland’s remarks during a Wednesday morning press conference in North Philadelphia, saying he was “offended” by the post and that he intended to discuss it with her privately.
“Every day when [Shapiro] gets up, he talks to Madame Speaker and Madame Pro Temp[ore],” Street said, referring to the titles of Rep. Joanna McClinton and Sen. Kim Ward, the two top officials of their respective chambers. “Gov. Shapiro has shown an effective ability to work with them, and I think a suggestion to the contrary is deeply offensive.”
Street made the comments alongside Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta during an endorsement event for Harris’ candidacy. Both lawmakers said that while Harris’ choice for second-in-command was ultimately personal, they strongly supported adding Shapiro to the ticket.

Very troubling for any Democrat to support school vouchers. Pay for your own damn religious indoctrination!

They are terrified of Shapiro. They definitely show themselves. I'm sure that Kamala will make the best choice.

Seems like Republicans are most afraid of Shapiro. We need Pennsylvania and President Harris will set the policy

Just for the record, the Commonwealth Foundation is a conservative/libertarian think tank.

Thanks for looking up the source. I think some people are trying to smear Gov. Shapiro.
