Cornel West: Kamala Harris Offered Me a Job, Debt Payoff If I Dropped Out

Radical Democrat Cornel West is claiming that he was offered a job and to have his campaign debt paid off if he agreed to drop out of the presidential race. He did not say what job he was offered or how much debt he owed, but he did say that he never even considered selling out to the Marxists. Westmade the offer from Harris’ campaign staff just after this year’s DNC.

Chariton and West had the following dialogue:

Chariton: What were, you know, the offers that they made and your response?

West: Well, I mean a number of them reached out just saying I need to get on the bandwagon — this is a historic moment, especially a black moment … I told them, I said you all just talking to the wrong brother. You can offer resources or position or what have you — that’s that’s not what I’m all about. That’s not the game I play…

Chariton: Can you specify, if you can, you mentioned offering positions, resources. Were you offered a position in the Harris administration? Any financial incentives to drop out?

West: Oh, I mean there was definitely various kind of offers. I won’t go into concrete details of it — I really won’t, because I don’t I — I don’t even want to make that the focus of the interview —
Chariton: Let’s let’s just say they did not offer you the janitor’s position they offered you something relatively high up.

West: [Laughing] Well, I don’t think it was that high up …
Chariton: Did they — just one more on this — did they offer you did they offer you a cabinet position, a lower position ,and offer to pay off any of your campaign debt?

West: Well, they offered serious, substantive conversation about all of those that could lead toward some real [unintelligible].

West has adopted staunch anti-Israel positions, even holding an antisemitic banner at a march in October.

Democrats are worried that West might pull some left-wing votes away from her, causing her to lose to Trump in swing states where margins are close. They have been filing legal challenges to push West off the ballot in many states.

The West campaign issued a statement on Tuesday, after defeating two challenges to ballot access in Wisconsin and Michigan: “The West/Abdullah campaign has the signatures and minor party nominations it needs to get on the ballot in 18 states. This includes 7 of the battleground states: Michigan, Georgia, Minnesota, Florida, Wisconsin, Virginia and North Carolina.”

The alleged offer from Harris to West recalls the effort by the Obama White House to convince Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) not to run for Senate in Pennsylvania, where Republican-turned-Democrat Sen. Arlen Specter — who gave Democrats a temporary filibuster-proof majority — was running for re-election.

The White House lied about the “quid pro quo,” then admitted using former President Bill Clinton as an intermediary to offer Sestak a job in exchange for dropping out.
