It is a known fact that Harris dated Willie Brown for 2 years at a time that coincided with her early career as a prosecutor. thetimes.com/…/willie-brown-kamala-harris-backgro…

However people talk similar shit about London Breed so I think it’s only a partial truth at best and mostly sexism against powerful women in SF politics.

Because we all know that the judicial and political are the same career paths.

    Kinda yeah. Most politicians in the US started out as lawyers or working in some other capacity in the justice system.

    Many US states and cities elect their chief prosecutor (DA) and sometimes even judges.

  District Attorney is an elected position in San Francisco. It manages all the prosecutors (unelected). There’s a paragraph about Harris’ first campaign in the article.
