WaPo Columnist Asks Why Kamala Doesn’t Talk About Her Dad — But The Answer Is ClearRobert McGreevy

A Washington Post columnist wondered in a Sunday op-ed why Kamala Harris didn’t talk about her father more, but Dr. Donald Harris explained it all in 2019.
WaPo writer Matt Bai noted that, outside of her Democratic National Convention (DNC) speech, Harris has hardly spoken about her father, economics professor Dr. Donald Harris.
The reason is likely twofold.
First, as Dr. Harris wrote in a screed about his family’s Jamaican heritage, the pair are essentially estranged. The “early phase of interaction with my children came to an abrupt halt in 1972,” he wrote in a 2019 editorial for JamaicaGlobal.com, citing “a hard-fought custody battle in the family court of Oakland, California.”
The second, and perhaps more significant reason is that Dr. Harris, Kamala’s only living parent, is none too proud of the way Kamala has spoken about the family’s Jamaican heritage.
