National Women's Defense League to Harris: Dump Shapiro Over Sex Case Failings

Shapiro, 51, is the chief executive of a crucial battleground state rich with electoral votes, where Harris is set to campaign with her yet-to-be-named running mate on Tuesday. Speculation had mounted that based on the location of Tuesday’s rally, in Philadelphia, that it may just be Shapiro.

That scenario and Shapiro’s fortunes now appear to have dimmed.

Shapiro has come under fire for his administration’s move last year to pay nearly $300,000 to settle a sexual harassment claim against one of his longtime aides. The deal involved a non-disclosure agreement.

As of Thursday, the Harris team was still actively vetting potential candidates. “They’re watching the J.D. Vance experiment go horribly wrong and they want to be sure they’re doing their due diligence,” a longtime Democratic operative told the Daily Beast.

The JD Vance Experiment sounds like a B-grade horror flic.

I’m still expecting Trump to “fire” Vance. Most likely after he knows the Dem VP pick.

He’s going to have to do something about his free fall and I don’t expect Trump to do any introspection.

How many Mooches so far?

Edit: 1.8 Mooches as of 8/2/2024

Whoever Harris ends up picking for the ticket VP should immediately and loudly call for scheduling a VP debate with Vance. Make them squirm and come up with more excuses for ducking yet another debate.

I doubt he’ll dump Vance - that’s how he’s getting the big bucks from Thiel and other tech bros.

JD Vance Experiment is definitely his project where he plays Jazz metal fusion in his basement

Actually, the J.D. Vance experiment is where they tried to fertilize a couch with human semen.

Man I hope she doesn’t choose Shapiro. Don’t need more extremist Zionism. I’ll vote for her either way, but if she chooses Shapiro, I’ll have to hold my nose when doing so.

I don’t think he’s taken a significantly different position than the other candidates on this. I mean in January, he said “I personally believe Benjamin Netanyahu is one of the worst leaders of all time”. He was pretty reactionary about school protests, but for the most part he basically has had the i-dont-want-this-to-affect-my-politics-two-state-i-condemn-violence position that most politicians take, and hasn’t been especially deferent to Israel at all.

He’s not my favorite, just because he seems kinda… mmmm… politician-y asshole-y to me? But I don’t feel like his stance on Israel is the reason to specifically avoid him.

He’s certainly AIPAC worded. Here is a snippet frok his wp page

In regards to students being “blocked from going to campus just because they’re Jewish”, Shapiro compared such an act to the Ku Klux Klan.https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Josh_Shapiro#cite_note-144https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Josh_Shapiro#cite_note-145 He called for a police crackdown on the pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Pennsylvania,https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Josh_Shapiro#cite_note-146 but later said he was already aware of police plans to disband the encampment after police made arrests less than 24 hours after Shapiro’s statement.https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Josh_Shapiro#cite_note-147

As of June 2024, Shapiro supported a proposed state law that would block state funding of colleges and universities that engage in a “boycott or divestment from Israel,” a term that the bill defined to include any activity “intended to financially penalize the government of Israel”.https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Josh_Shapiro#cite_note-148https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Josh_Shapiro#cite_note-149

First Amendment advocates have criticized Shapiro over a revision to the state employees’ code of conduct prohibiting “scandalous” behavior. Pro-Palestinian and Muslim groups raised concerns that the order was intended to chill speech related to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. One First Amendment lawyer from Bryn Mawr called the regulation “impossible to adhere to because it’s impossible to understand what it applies to.”

Just announce Kelly. Have an astronaut for VP!

I really don’t see him as an asset to winning. I have never even heard of him.

No to Shapiro! We don’t need racist zionists in office. Idk about the rest of you but the zionists in my family are/were low key racists. Chabad. You can’t even acknowledge or touch women. It’s the handmaid tale for Jews. And they LOVE AIPAC. You know AIPAC. The PAC that is blasting racists ads against Cori Bush right now.
