"Harris screamed at and angrily berated her campaign manager"— X user
X user @joma_gc mentioned in a tweet that there was "major drama" surrounding the Kamala Harris campaign on the morning of October 18, 2024:
"A source reveals that Harris screamed at and angrily berated her campaign manager Julie Chavez for over 30 minutes on the phone this morning."
The X user said that the mentioned source revealed how Julie Chavez advised Kamala Harris not to attend the AI Smith dinner as it could "send the wrong message and risk alienating LGBTQ and pro-abortion voters" if Harris was seen getting comfortable with Catholics.
The AI Smith dinner is a charity event in New York that raises money for Catholic charities. Usually, during the presidential election year, both candidates attend the dinner and are given a chance to express themselves. According to Times Now, the presidential nominees attending the AI Smith dinner showcase that they can exist together regardless of their differences.
As per the X user's account, upon Julie Chavez's advice , Harris skipped the event and sent a video that was described as "poorly received" in the tweet. While Kamala Harris sent a video message at the AI Smith dinner, her opponent Donald Trump attended with his wife Melania Trump.
The X user also mentioned in his tweet:
"Chavez was in tears during the phone call as Kamala shred her to pieces, called her an idiot, inept, horrible at your f-ing job, and told her that her stupid advice is going to be the reason she loses."
In other news, Trump attended the AI Smith dinner where he delivered a speech attacking Kamala Harris for being absent. He took a dig at Harris stating that if they wanted the Vice President to accept the invitation, they should've told her that the funds raised from the dinner were going to bail out rioters and looters in Minneapolis.
Additionally, Trump asked attendees of the AI Smith dinner to remember that he was there and Harris wasn't.
