Kamala Harris’s new senior campaign adviser, Kamau Marshall, who's been busy hitting delete on 2,200 offensive social media posts, certainly knows how to put the 'controversy' in 'campaign.'

Marshall's hiring raises eyebrows given his history of offensive and insensitive social media remarks about women, gay people, and even Harris herself during her 2019 presidential run. Now tasked with steering Harris's 2024 campaign, Marshall has been fervently scrubbing his problematic digital footprint. Despite his 2020 apology for past remarks, his controversial background sparks questions about whether these cleanup efforts can truly erase a turbulent past.

Among Marshall's most troubling online statements were his frequent use of the term 'no homo' and his questioning of sexual abuse allegations against high-profile individuals like Bill Cosby. These comments have led many to wonder what vetting processes, if any, took place before his hiring. While some might argue that Marshall's social media history is a minefield of questionable judgments, others might say it's an open and shut case of 'delete your tweets, people!'.

Yet another layer of complexity is added by the numerous misogynistic remarks made by Marshall over the years. Phrases like 'Are all women crazy?' and 'It's unattractive when a girl doesn't act classy & does not know how to control her feelings' paint a disconcerting portrait of someone now responsible for advising a high-profile female candidate. One might wonder if his new job description includes time travel back to the 1950s.

Back in 2019, Marshall openly criticized Kamala Harris during her failed presidential campaign. He posted, 'Dear Black people: Don’t be black when it's convenient,' a jab that left many questioning his loyalty and judgment. Ironically, the same candidate he disparaged is now his boss. One has to wonder how that initial comment rang in the Harris camp when Marshall’s résumé landed on their desk.

One more sore point is Marshall’s past suggestion that men who spend a lot of time around women might want to be female or are very feminine. Such comments are not just off-color; they are damaging and contribute to outdated gender stereotypes that are broadly rejected today. It's almost as if Marshall thinks that respecting women might somehow be contagious.

Marshall's attempts to erase history are evident in his frantic deletion of over 2,200 social media posts in recent days. Analytical websites like Social Blade have tracked the mass digital purging, tightening the spotlight on his controversial past rather than dimming it.

Despite the backlash, Kamala Harris's campaign has defended their decision to hire Marshall, citing his extensive experience in advisory roles. Previously, Marshall has held several significant advisory positions and is regarded for his strategic insights and effective communication skills—attributes clearly overshadowed by his digital misdemeanors.

Marshall did issue an apology in 2020 for his offensive posts, during which he acknowledged the harm his words had caused and promised to evolve. In his statement, he expressed regret and a commitment to better understanding and respecting women's and the LGBTQ+ community's perspectives. However, critics argue that such apologies are often little more than damage control, as if trying to use a Band-Aid to cover a sinking ship.

Political analysts are closely monitoring how this situation unfolds. A senior adviser with such a controversial track record certainly brings added complexity to Harris's 2024 campaign. Will she be navigating a minefield of potential scandals? Only time will tell.

As the election season heats up, one thing is clear: Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign will be closely watched—like a Netflix series everyone keeps talking about.
