Someone informed me that they would not vote for Kamala Harris for President because she’d slept her way to the top. She’d lived in California, and she knew.
This was a successful entrepreneur speaking, and a Republican. I was like, really? What evidence do you have for this smear?
I told her that nobody had been able to provide any evidence other than some Willie Brown bullshit that was easily put into proper context with a little searching. And I was surprised; she had been successful in business in California. I shocked her by suggesting that maybe she had slept her way to success.
Yes, of course she was shocked. I had no evidence for my claim, and it impugned her integrity and her character and undermined her accomplishments.
Yeah, see? Just as they’re doing to Harris.

I fail to see what is wrong with the use of the “casting couch”? We all sell ourselves in one way or another, show me a person who has never knuckled down at some time in their lives and you will have shown me a baby or a liar.
