News about Willie Brown

Vice President Kamala Harris made quite a splash on the San Francisco gossip scene when she first arrived on the arm of State Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, but when she decided to challenge her old boss Terrence Hallinan for his job as District Attorney she became the subject of glossy magazine profiles.

Kamala Harris was frequently absent for California Medical Assistance Commission meetings, even though she was appointed to the position by her boyfriend at the time and then-Assembly Speaker Willie Brown.

An old ABC News profile on San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown shows the young Kamala Harris out on the town with her older lover, where she is asked questions by reporters.

California Governor Gavin Newsom called '[expletive]' after former President Donald Trump claimed he was in a helicopter with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown that nearly crashed.

A shocking song choice played at Donald Trump 's Montana rally, causing some to speculate that his campaign is being sabotaged over the irony. Trump's plane was forced to divert to Billings while en route to event in Bozeman over a 'mechanical issue' on Friday.

Republican presidential nominee Trump told reporters at a Mar-A-Lago news conference on Thursday night  that he and former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown were in a helicopter that was forced to make an emergency landing and both men thought this 'may be the end'. Brown has since said the incident 'never happened' and said he has 'never done business' with the former president. When confronted about the story by a New York Times reporter Friday, Trump insisted his people 'have the flight records of the helicopter' and said he was 'probably going to sue' the newspaper.

Republican presidential nominee Trump told reporters at a Mar-A-Lago news conference that he and Brown were in a helicopter that was forced to make an emergency landing and both men thought this 'may be the end'. However, according to Brown, he and Trump have never rode in the same helicopter and he was instead doing his best 'creative fiction'. 'I've never done business with Donald Trump, let's start with that,' Brown told KRON4 . 'And secondly, I don't think I'd want to ride on the same helicopter with him. There's too many people that have an agenda with reference to him, including the people who service helicopters!'

Vice President Kamala Harris' much older ex-boyfriend Willie Brown believes that President Joe Biden should step down as president so that she can take the job. Brown spoke with Politico columnist Jonathan Martin, revealing his thoughts about Harris, whom he dated when he was 60 and running for mayor of San Francisco and she was a relatively unknown 29-year-old Alameda County prosecutor. Brown, now 90, 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.

Kamala Harris' career has been dogged by controversies with critics claiming she was given a boost by her relationship with former mayor and notorious playboy Willie Brown in the 1990s.

Kamala Harris' career has been dogged by controversies with critics claiming she was given a boost by her relationship with former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown in the 1990s. Harris has long been accused of hypocrisy and dishonesty, which has turned many, even in her own party, against her.

From describing AI a 'kind of a fancy thing' that is 'first of all two letters' to a recent baffling blunder where she called the 2024 election 'the most election of our lifetime', the vice-president's abilities as an orator have long been in question. She also once confused North and South Korea , mistakenly said 220million Americans died of Covid-19 and joked that people aged between 18 and 24 are 'really stupid'. Ms Harris is happily married to LA lawyer Doug Emhoff (left) but there are also claims that her affair with flamboyant California Democrat and San Francisco's first black mayor Willie Brown (bottom right) in the 1990s - when he was 61 and she was 31 - also gave the presidential hopeful's career the boost she needed to get to where she is today. But before he swapped The Apprentice for politics, just over a decade ago Donald Trump himself donated thousands of dollars to Kamala's re-election campaign while she was California's attorney general. Now the Republican nominee insists she will be even easier to defeat than Joe Biden, declaring: 'She's so f***ing bad. She's so pathetic' (bottom image). He has also called her 'as crazy as a bed bug'. Ms Harris (inset as a child), whose left-wing politics were forged by her mother and time at the so-called 'black Harvard' in Washington DC, has been at Mr Biden's side since he was elected in 2020 - and after his decision to reject the democratic nomination she is now aiming to become the first black female to head a major party's US presidential ticket.

Throughout her career, the vice president has been repeatedly forced to deny that her relationship with former San Francisco Willie Brown - 31 years her junior - was the main stepping stone in her political career. The fling may have fizzled long ago, but in the decades since, Harris has struggled to shirk her association with Brown, whom she once described as 'an albatross hanging around my neck.'

In his new album, 'San Francisco Our Home,' Chino Yang, 35, who grew up in the city, branded mayor London Breed (inset) as a 'clown' and a 'phony a** liberationist.' The rapper said he was motivated to produce the song because he was "fed up with the murders," which included the restaurant being broken into seven times. However, on Tuesday night, he paid a long (left) apology to 'our beloved mayor' for'spreading misinformation' about her.

Tony Bennett's 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco', a worldwide singalong, has resurfaced in the aftermath of his death. Bennett, the Iconic Crooner, died in his hometown of New York on Friday at the age of 96, just two weeks shy of his 97th birthday. During the pandemic purge of April 2020, the eminent musician lifted spirits by performing his signature song. He encouraged people around the world to attend the event and post a video of their performances online.
