"The man I observed over the next several minutes was unrecognizable. Gone was his equilibrium. He moved between outrage and exasperation as I relayed the excerpts. Harris had accused him, in essence, of measuring the drapes, even inquiring about featuring Pennsylvania artists in the vice-presidential residence; of insisting that he would want to be in the room for every decision Harris might make; and, more generally, of hijacking the conversation when she interviewed him for the job, to the point where she reminded him that he would not be co-president."
"She wrote that in her book? he said in response to the claim concerning the residence's art. That's complete and utter bullshit. I can tell you that her accounts are just blatant lies, he added. What seemed to bother Shapiro, more than any one detail, was Harris portraying him in ways consistent with the whispers that had dogged him throughout the vetting process and throughout his career: that he was selfish, petty, and monomaniacally ambitious, observed Alberta."
"Given that they'd known each other a long time'20 years,' Shapiro said with a groanI asked whether he felt betrayed. I mean, she's trying to sell books and cover her ass, he declared before, Alberta reported, backtracking out of disgust with himself. I shouldn't say cover her ass.' I think that's not appropriate."
Josh Shapiro reacted angrily after being told that Kamala Harris criticized him in her memoir 107 Days. Harris accused him of measuring the drapes, inquiring about featuring Pennsylvania artists in the vice-presidential residence, insisting on being present for every decision, and hijacking the interview to the point she reminded him he would not be co-president. Shapiro called those accounts "complete and utter bullshit" and "blatant lies," and objected to portrayals aligning with whispers that he is selfish, petty, and monomaniacally ambitious. Shapiro, who said they had known each other for twenty years, admitted feeling betrayed and briefly accused Harris of trying to sell books.
