Former Home Speaker Kevin McCarthy is attempting to maintain himself related by taking over for Donald Trump and attacking Vice President Kamala Harris to any media outlet that can discuss to him. To this point, it’s not going properly.
In an interview with The Hill, the Republican who was ousted by members of his personal celebration accused Harris of making a poisonous work setting in her Senate workplace.
“It’s known in Washington, it is a heroic work environment,” McCarthy stated. “If you work for her, nobody lasts very long. Even as VP when she didn’t do anything, she could not keep staff.”
He didn’t cross up a chance to lean onerous into sexist stereotypes about ladies bosses.
“How she treats people around her is a real indication of what she’ll do in the future,” McCarthy claimed.
To be honest, there was some high-profile turnover amongst Harris’ workers throughout her first 12 months as vp, attributed to “burnout, money, and concern,” as Axios reported in 2021. Gosh, it’s onerous to think about that being thrown into attempting to rebuild the nation that Donald Trump tried to destroy—throughout a pandemic, thoughts you—would burn individuals out.
Because it seems, there are couple of different individuals, together with a senator and a former president, whose workers turnover charge blows Harris’ out of the water.
Donald Trump ended his 4 years in workplace with a 92% turnover charge amongst his “A Team,” in line with Brookings. That contains probably the most influential positions throughout the government workplace. By comparability, President Joe Biden has had a 71% turnover charge up to now.
Then there’s Trump’s working mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio.
“From October 2023-June 2024, Vance’s office saw a 0.41 staff turnover, far exceeding the average Senate staff turnover of 0.24 and placing his office in the 93rd percentile for highest turnover,” Legistorm reported Monday.
For instance, throughout her time as a senator, presumed Democratic presidential nominee and present Vice President Kamala Harris’ workers turnover solely elevated from 0.12 in FY2017 to 0.21 in FY2018. Equally, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), who has been floated as a possible working mate to Harris, had a workers turnover of 0.10 in FY2021 and noticed a mere elevate in turnover in FY2022 to 0.16. …
Vance’s improve in workers turnover spans months earlier than he was introduced as former President Donald Trump’s decide.
That’s fairly a comparability! It’s additionally typical of McCarthy’s ineptitude to not do any analysis earlier than spouting off.
McCarthy additionally has a really whiny and private grievance: Harris wouldn’t meet with him when she was within the Senate. Sure, they have been in the identical congressional delegation from California, however who was bothering to fulfill with McCarthy on the time? Nobody was taking him significantly again then, when he was greatest identified for choosing out Trump’s Starburst candies in order that the president with a infantile palate would get solely the colours he likes (pink and pink, for the morbidly curious).
With these guys, it’s all projection, on a regular basis.
Let’s give McCarthy extra to whine about, and maintain Kamala Harris surging!
