Kamala Harris Taps Ageist Biden Critic as Campaign Communications Director

WFB: Vice President Kamala Harris’s latest hire has called for elderly public officials to step down and once mocked President Joe Biden for “trying to complete an answer” during a political debate.

Veteran Democratic operative Brian Fallon will serve as Harris’s communications director on the campaign trail, according to the Washington Post. Fallon’s résumé includes stints as spokesman for Hillary Clinton’s ill-fated 2016 presidential bid and as head of Demand Justice, an activist group behind the movement to expand the Supreme Court.

Fallon has a history of comments that could prove awkward for his boss’s boss. At Demand Justice, he spearheaded a campaign to pressure then-Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer to retire because of Breyer’s advanced age. A longtime Harris cheerleader, Fallon slammed Biden during a 2019 Democratic debate, writing on X, formerly Twitter, that “Biden trying to complete an answer is a tender moment,” and criticizing Biden for his past collaboration with segregationists.

Biden, who was already the oldest president in history at the time of his inauguration, has rebuffed calls to end his 2024 campaign over concerns about his age. The president is known for his verbal gaffes and “strayed into a couple of hazy monologues” at the White House holiday party, Semafor‘s Ben Smith reported Monday. more
