He didn&#8217;t confront Miller directly, but rather reached out to her boss, Ben Smith, to complain.<\/p>\n<p>Sams was offended that Miller had praised another failed candidate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), for suggesting Harris&#8217;s crusade to get Donald Trump banned from Twitter was a dumb idea. Was this a racist thing to suggest? Sams thought so.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This kind of stuff is just a really horrible look for you guys,&#8221; Sams told Smith via text. &#8220;Frankly, it&#8217;s whiteness manifest. If Kamala shrugged off a Warren critique of how she wasn&#8217;t with her on [breaking up] Facebook, we&#8217;d get raked over the coals and [Warren] would be lauded as taking on corporate power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Smith&#8217;s response to the aggrieved flack was rather savage. &#8220;Do you seriously not have real problems?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;This text makes me think you are totally, totally unready for an actual presidential campaign.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Smith was right. Days later, Sams <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/kamala-campaign-mocked-for-tweeting-bizarrely-terrible-photoshop\/\">humiliated himself<\/a> again by tweeting out a bizarre photoshopped image of Harris being yelled at by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.). The original image was taken during a contentious meeting between Pelosi and President Donald Trump, whose image had been sloppily replaced with one of Harris with her arms crossed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s time for an upgrade,&#8221; Sams wrote on Twitter, to the confusion of everyone. Why was Pelosi yelling at Harris? Why was Harris surrounded by Republican aides and lawmakers? Why? No one had a good answer to any of these questions, least of all Sams, who ultimately deleted the tweet. &#8220;Rightwing twitter is a really sad place,&#8221; he lamented.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, congrats on the new gig!<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-8 hide-print\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1526555381173-4\" class=\"mobile-250 desktop-90\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T.J.
