Publisher's summary

The ultimate, comprehensive investigation into the life and career of Vice President Kamala Harris from former Washington Examiner and Breitbart News political reporter Charlie Spiering.

Who is the real Kamala Harris? And how did she ascend to the second highest office in the country? Despite her limited experience in national politics and confusing professional history, there hasn’t been a comprehensive examination of Vice President Kamala Harris’s journey to the White House...until now. Find out how the San Francisco socialite turned politico fast-tracked her way onto the national stage, only to lose the faith of her base and her president.

With exclusive reporting and a detective’s eye, Charlie Spiering delivers the first-ever deep dive into Kamala Harris’s hilarious, incompetent, radical path to the vice presidency. From her tumultuous tenure as California prosecutor to the fiery interrogator in the United States Senate, then to her disastrous presidential campaign and finally, her calamitous first years in executive office, this is an unfettered look at the woman who is only one heartbeat away from leading the free world.

That she is such a loser

Disliked her more after listening which was hard to fathom. She’s the most unqualified for national office that I can imagine.

It would be hilarious if it wasn’t just so sad.

It’s too bad HBO won’t option this. It’ll would be a bigger hit than Game Change or VEEP.

The narration isn’t great. The guy speaks too quickly and has a nasal voice.

Not All Bad

This is a must-read page-turner no what your political stripes. I am an independent/libertarian who (like most people) has heard that Kamala is unfit. Spierling is a conservative writer who would be expected to trash her - but I especially found his summary of her early career which underscored her political skills to obtain endorsements from so many powerful politicians and donors to be noteworthy,

As I got through the audio version (excellent narration by Johnny Heller once you get comfortable with his voice), it appears that her fortunes and ability to rise even further were dampened when she joined the Biden administration. Readers can reach their conclusions.

I must say that I am less inclined to write her off after finishing this excellent effort by the author.

Read or listen - and I am sure that you will be impressed (for better or worse) with the insights.

Thanks Charlie!!!

Scary & Infuriating

The book makes the point & logs in well researched detail that, on one hand, you could say that none of the criticism of Kamala Harris is because she's a woman or black. You could say you'd be unhappy with any individual who has performed like she has. It's frustrating how she constantly creates friendships with people of a higher political power, then burns that bridge after she's gained some sort of benefit from them, then repeats the process over & over again. It's insulting how she has never taken blame for her own mistakes, but instead decides to blame her staff, her administration, and/or anyone around her. She will not accept that she isn't qualified for any position she's held or that she isn't liked my a majority of Americans. It's aggravating that she has failed upwards constantly and may end up as President of the United States if Joe Biden is elected for a second term. Again, you could say this is all due to her as a person and has absolutely nothing to do with her race or gender, because it doesn't. But on the other hand, she, her staff, her administration, Biden's administration, the Democrats, the media, etc. will not let you say this has nothing to do with her race or gender. That's their go to defense for all of her incompetences. The Biden Administration only selected and used her because of her race & gender. With every example you can think of, the book cites each moment & situation where Kamala Harris has proven herself to not be a nice person or a qualified politician. She has failed time after time, but happened to be at the right place at the right time to further her political career. It's scary that she may have more power & authority if she once again fails upward due to Joe Biden being elected. I recommend this book to anyone interested in history or politics as well as anyone who is interested in what is actively happening in America right now. Use this book to help educate yourself about Kamala Harris and the danger of future unqualified politicians that are rising to power.

The truth about Harris as a VP

The book solidified what we all thought, she is NOT qualified for the position.

Kumallah is a black racist Marxist

Kumallah is nothing more than an unqualified low IQ affirmative action black supremacist Marxist. She’s not even worthy of being tasked with changing the toilet paper at the WHITE House. Trump 2024 will save the country!

Clear picture of the subject.

Unbiased reporting. Harris, to this day is true to form. Clearly an example of an unremarkable and less than average politician……not by any stretch of the imagination a ‘stateswoman’. An example of affirmative action throughout her career?
