The eleventh and twelfth Vice Presidential staffers have announced their departure from the Veep’s office. Michael Fuchs, deputy chief of staff, will depart early in May for greener pastures. Harris’ chief of staff Tina Flournoy is leaving after 15 months in the traces.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my experience, and if you look at past precedent, it\u2019s natural for staffers who have thrown their heart and soul into a job to be ready to move on to a new challenge after a few years,\u201d spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.<\/p>\n
Except they’re working for Kamala, and its only been a few months.<\/p>\n
BY\u00a0NICOLE TOMMASULO<\/strong><\/p>\n Since July 2021, rumors about the chaos inside Vice President Kamala Harris’ staff have been circulating, according to The Washington Post. Key members of her staff, like communications chief Ashley Etienne and Harris spokesperson Symone Sanders, have quit and people are starting to wonder what is wrong in the Vice President’s office that so many key people are leaving this fast.<\/p>\n Burning through top-level staff is a problem that has followed Harris through her 18 years of serving in the public. “She refuses to take responsibility for delicate issues,” one unnamed Harris staffer told Politico. That same staffer continued, saying Harris\u00a0“blames staffers for the negative results that ensue.” Insiders close to the Vice President say this is a “familiar pattern.” After all, when her 2020 presidential campaign ended, she “jettisoned nearly everyone.” Kelly Mehlenbacher, her state operations director, resigned. The New York Times published her letter of resignation, in which she stated: “This is my third presidential campaign and I have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly.”<\/p>\n Another problem staffers have is that Harris refuses to read briefing materials before meetings. “It’s clear that you’re not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work,” one former staffer told The Washington Post. “With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
