one of them goes on record in the article. it's presented a little cryptically but how is this not a bit of a sideswipe

Jamal Simmons, who served as Harris’s communications director before leaving the role at the beginning of this year, suggested that her identity lies elsewhere. “She’s a Christian, but strength is her religion.”

EDIT: maybe I'm reading it wrong? he's quoted a few times later on making excuses for her, so maybe he thinks he's saying something good. doesn't land for me

EDIT2: christ this is a long article

Okay. Fair enough.

no I think I was misreading it, I think he's trying to say something good. just a weird way to say it

Jamal Simmons

You made me curious about him so I went right to his Twitter account to see what he had to say. I should have predicted it. This is his most recent tweet.

There is no defense for the intentional murder and kidnapping of innocent civilians — especially the elderly and children — ever. Put yourself in the room with gunmen threatening your family. There will be time for political debate later. This is not complicated.

"This is not complicated," - it's so simple to be a lib. I wish somebody would ask him "Put yourself in the room with gunmen threatening your family. You're Gazan and the gunmen are Israeli. Now what?"

Also the israeli gunman have been systematically executing your family and there's no way to tell who will be next

Over and over they scream at you "Where are the tunnels!" in badly broken Arabic. And what do you say? Do you say "I don't know," or "My young son goes looking around without asking me so maybe he knows," or "I know but I'll only tell you if you let us live?" or "Please don't murder us?" Or...?
