A 2019 op-ed by professor Terry McAteer, recently highlighted by The New York Post, reveals troubling accounts of Kamala Harris’s behavior during her tenure as California Attorney General.
McAteer describes his son’s internship experience, alleging that Harris frequently used profanity and created a hostile work environment, leading to interns in tears and staff members in fear.
He claims that her office staff was instructed to stand and greet her each morning and that interns were not allowed to address her or make eye contact, a privilege reserved for senior staff.
When I heard that 90% of @VP Harris' staff fled her office, I though that might not be true. I looked and it is true. Now I understand why. #KamalaHarris is not a nice person.https://t.co/hYd1Ri4YJq

Although McAteer said he has no personal animosity toward Harris, he criticized her leadership style and the lack of supportive qualities expected from a supervisor.
“Harris vocally throws around ‘F-bombs’ and other profanity constantly in her berating of staff and others,” McAteer wrote.
“As AG… Harris instructed her entire staff to stand every morning as she entered the office and say, ‘Good Morning General.'”
“Gregory was also given instructions to never address Harris nor look her in the eye as that privilege was only allowed to senior staff members,” McAteer wrote.
