From Fox News: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro claimed that former Vice President Kamala Harris’ election team asked whether he was an “agent of the Israeli government” while discussing his potential as a vice presidential candidate.
In a preview for Shapiro’s upcoming book, “Where We Keep the Light,” published Sunday, The Atlantic reported a section devoted to what he described as “unnecessarily contentious” questions from Harris’ team — particularly former Biden aide Dana Remus.
One question he said he received during the vetting process included: “Have you ever been an agent of the Israeli government?”
Expressing his disgust, Shapiro wrote, “Had I been a double agent for Israel? Was she kidding? I told her how offensive the question was. Remus was just doing her job. I get it. But the fact that she asked, or was told to ask that question by someone else, said a lot about some of the people around the VP.”
Shapiro also revealed that he was asked whether he’d be willing to “apologize for some of his comments about protesters at the University of Pennsylvania who had built encampments to decry Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and, in some cases, intimidated Jewish students.”
“It nagged at me that their questions weren’t really about substance. Rather, they were questioning my ideology, my approach, my world view,” he explained in his book.
Shapiro said after Remus suggested that being vice-president “might be a financial burden for him and his wife,” Shapiro decided he didn’t even want to be Harris’ running mate.
In her own book, “107 Days,” Harris further insulted Shapiro, as she claimed that he wanted to be involved with every decision and that she needed to remind him “a vice president is not a co-president.”
Shapiro fired back at that allegation, calling it “complete and utter bull****,” and said she was just trying to sell books.
