There’s an old expression that you can know a person by the company they keep.
If we were to judge Kamala Harris by the endorsements she’s getting, it would tell you a lot about her, even when she doesn’t want to tell you about herself.
Harris has been endorsed by Liz and Dick Cheney, Hollywood celebrities, and even Russian leader Vladimir Putin. That would tell you everything you needed to know right there, if you haven’t already run screaming from her.

But people’s eyebrows are going up with the newest endorsement that Kamala Harris has received — from the IRS Agents Union.
IRS Agents Union Endorses Kamala Harris, Cites Inflation Reduction Act Windfall https://t.co/ZSdip1bamd
— Media Research Center (@theMRC) September 21, 2024
As MRC points out:
Indeed, the Inflation Reduction Act, for which Harris cast the deciding vote to break a Senate deadlock, boosts the IRS budget by $80 billion, enabling the agency to hire an additional 87,000 employees – while increasing the union’s membership in the process.
Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) had this to say about that move:
“Harris-proposed tax increases will kill jobs in the private sector but create jobs for IRS agents.
“Agents certainly appreciate her call to make the IRS even larger and more powerful if she wins the presidency. Agents will be hired and deployed to implement the $5 trillion of tax increases Harris wishes to impose over the next decade.”
ATR also found:
“97% of political contributions by the IRS agents’ union went to Democrats in the 2022 election cycle. In all, the union gave $635,170 to Democrats during that election cycle.”
This was the clueless take on the endorsement for the Kamala supporters X account, “Kamala’s Wins.”
BREAKING: The IRS Union just announced they are endorsing Kamala Harris. Let’s go!

If there was anything that shows how out of touch Kamala is with most Americans, that just might be it.
Many people found this endorsement disconcerting, given the agents are supposed to be working for an objective government agency. Others pointed out how people’s feelings about the IRS made this a win for Trump. Plus, who votes for someone because IRS agents endorsed them? If anything, you would only get the opposite reaction.

Nothing says “I’m with the American people” like celebrating the IRS backing you. https://t.co/wggVDOhEdU

If the IRS, the FBI, Wall Street, Iran, Putin, the military industrial complex, the New York Times, Iran, 100 former McCain interns, and Dick Cheney all want one candidate to win then, for the love of God, vote for the other one. https://t.co/JOzxw8BIFl
