Is Kamala Harris’ third communications director the charm? Perhaps a “tell” that Harris is not done wanting to sit in the “big chair” in the WH? Just whose campaign one might ask is the director in charge of?
Awkward wouldn’t you say?
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.
Maybe he has a point?
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.
In defending Harris, Fallon offered one of his strongest criticisms of Biden as the future running mates duked it out for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

“White politicians and white commentators dont [sic] get to tell the two black candidates in the 2020 race they are wrong to take offense at Joe Biden’s comments. Just stop,” Fallon tweeted in June 2019. At a Democratic debate the day before, Harris and Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.) condemned Biden’s praise for segregationists with whom he worked in the 1970s.
“A lot of people seem to be giving Biden a pass for that answer on slavery,” Fallon tweeted during a September 2019 Democratic primary debate.
Meet Kamala’s new campaign communications director
From Nov 18, 2021
Previously published Jan. 7, 2022
Vice President Kamala Harris has tabbed a new communications director, veteran Democratic aide Jamal Simmons, to try to course-correct her office’s messaging in 2022 after a series of stumbles and staff departures last year.
Simmons, 50, has nearly three decades of experience working in politics and with media outlets. His hiring was first reported by The Hill.
Former Harris communications director Ashley Etienne departed last year to pursue “other opportunities.” Etienne previously worked for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Well you have to say Joe and his team gave it a try.
The very best of the swamp.
