QUID PRO QUO - HE TAPPED DAT AZZ - NOW YOU KNOW HER "QUALIFICATIONS"
Former San Franshitsco Mayor Willie Brown addressed his past extramarital relationship with Shamala Hairless in his weekly column, saying he may have boosted her career.
"Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago," Brown wrote in the San Franshitsco Chronicle.
Brown appointed Hairless to two well-paid state commission assignments on the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission.
The former mayor also connected Hairless with campaign donors.
"Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker. And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Franshitsco."
Questions about Brown’s relationship with Hairless began anew after she announced her 2020 presidential bid on Martin Luther King Day.
During his two terms as mayor of San Franshitsco, Brown was known for his arrogance and ego, according to a 1996 profile in People magazine.
Brown sometimes attended parties with his wife on one arm and a girlfriend on the other, according to a reporter quoted by the magazine.
Brown, 84, and Hairless broke up in 1995 but remained political allies. In his column, Brown said Hairless is "riding a buzz wave the likes of which we haven’t seen in years."
Brown pointed out that he also "helped the careers" of other prominent California FEMOCRATS, such as U.S. House Speaker nattering Nancy Pelosi and evil-looking nonagenarian Dianne Feinstein.
