Terry McAteer, whose son had a short stint working for Harris during a summer internship in the past, penned an op-ed for The Union in 2019 while Harris was campaigning unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination.
In 2021, as members of Harris’s team began departing one after another, Politico published an article characterizing the vice president’s office as a center of dysfunction.
“People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it’s an abusive environment,” Politico quoted what it said was a “person with direct knowledge of how Harris’ office is run.”
“It’s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like s***,” the person said.
That has not stopped some from gushing over Harris, including Hollywood elites like Drew Barrymore.
During an April appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Harris was raved over by the celebrity host, who leaned into a nickname the vice president’s step children created as a play on Kamala: Momala.
However, in his 2019 op-ed, McAteer described Harris differently, stating that “there is another aspect of Kamala Harris that the public is not aware of.” He went on to explain how she interacts with her staff based on his son’s experience.
Harris “vocally throws around ‘F-bombs’ and other profanity constantly in her berating of staff and others. The staff is in complete fear of her and she uses her profanity throughout the day,” McAteer wrote.
“As Attorney General, Senator Harris instructed her entire staff to stand every morning as she entered the office and say, ‘Good Morning General,’’ he wrote.
During the internship, he wrote, Harris never introduced herself to McAteer’s son.
His son, he wrote, “was also given instructions to never address Harris nor look her in the eye as that privilege was only allowed to senior staff members,” he wrote.
“I don’t know about you but this is not the workplace of someone who respects her staff. For a woman of color to have employees stand when she enters the room smacks of a bygone era that we, as Americans, deplore and find demeaning,” he wrote.
“Finally, what is up with the ‘don’t look her in the eye’ instruction? I know I wouldn’t want to work in that hostile environment!” he wrote.
