Vice President Kamala Harris’ 90-year-old ex-boyfriend Willie Brown believes that President Joe Biden should step down as president so that she can take the job.

Brown candidly revealed his thoughts about Harris, who he dated when he was 60 and running for mayor of San Francisco, and she was a relatively unknown 29-year-old prosecutor.

Brown joked that if Harris won the presidency, ‘She’ll deport my a**,’ a joke he has long made about his former girlfriend turned political protégé.

He made his comments in an interview with Politico columnist Jonathan Martin.

Brown also expressed concerns that Harris had ‘the Hillary syndrome’ and that ‘people don’t like her,’ which he said was an unfixable problem.

Harris considers the former California state assembly speaker, and former San Francisco mayor, to be one of her political mentors.

Brown also revealed that Harris was not former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s first choice for president and that he worked to make sure his other political protege Gov. Gavin Newsom was fully behind Harris.

Brown confirmed the story of how when he was dating Kamala Harris in the 1990s and participating an event at Harvard, then-business developer Donald Trump flew Brown, Harris and his team aboard his private plane for a meeting in New York.

Harris was not at the meeting, but Brown says he has a picture of he and Harris on Trump’s plane.

Brown said that Former President Donald Trump was successful in politics because of his celebrity.

‘He’s an entertainer, that’s all it is,’ he said.

Brown gave Harris a significant boost in her political career, as detailed in Amateur Hour: Kamala Harris in the White House.

When they dated, Brown was considered the most powerful politician in California, and although he was still married, he was estranged to his wife Blanche, who lived in a separate home from him.

Brown appointed Harris to two different state boards, which paid her more than $400,000 over five years and gave her the keys to a BMW. He opened the doors to the wealthy and the powerful people of San Francisco.

Brown broke up with Harris after their year-long relationship, but he was always around to offer a helping hand during her political career.

During her first run as San Francisco District Attorney, Brown donated to her campaign and helped raise money for the race.

Harris famously threw Brown under the bus during her campaign, insisting that her romantic and political connection with the mayor was over.

‘Willie Brown is not going to be around. He’s gone – hello people, move on,’ Harris told SF Weekly in a 2003 magazine profile insisting she would be ‘independent’ of Brown and that ‘he would probably right now express some fright about the fact that he cannot control me.’

‘His career is over; I will be alive and kicking for the next 40 years. I do not owe him a thing,’ she claimed.

It was the last time she would speak publicly about her former lover and political mentor.

Since Harris was endorsed by Democrats as the new presidential nominee, Brown shared his opinion with the San Francisco Standard about her abilities to run and win in elections.

‘You can very easily underestimate Kamala Harris, but if you do you will be looking up from the dungeon for the queen will be on the throne,’ he said.
