Close allies of Vice President Kamala Harris are expressing their outrage over the ongoing criticism from Democrats.
According to a report by Fox News on Tuesday, supporters of Harris have called for an end to the disrespect. Among them is the newly appointed Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-Calif.), who advised critics to “cut the bulls—.”
“Right now is the time to respect what she's done and what she brings,” she said.
Butler, who was appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom to fill the late Senator Dianne Feinstein‘s seat, previously served as an adviser to Harris. In an interview with the New York Times, she stated the criticisms were disrespectful, especially towards a historic Vice President who has been beneficial to the country.”

Notably, prominent Democrats like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) seemed to dodge questions about Harris being the best running mate for Biden. However, both later expressed their support for the Vice President.
Despite the support from her allies, an NBC News poll from June revealed that Harris had the lowest net negative rating of modern vice presidents in the history of their polling.
