“I’m going there,” Kelly said on her SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show” on Monday, noting that there was a “debate on Twitter … on whether Willie Brown” boosted her career during their brief romance decades ago.
“First she slept with this guy Willie Brown who was this extremely popular, powerful Congressman out in California … and he put her in two different positions that she did not deserve when she was only 29 or 30 [and] he was 60,” according to Kelly.
Vice President Kamala Harris was 29 years old when she started dating 60-year-old Willie Brown, a powerful California politician, in the mid-1990s.
“Already that affair is sus.”
Brown, who at the time was speaker of the California Assembly, and Harris dated when she was a prosecutor in the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office. The relationship began in 1994 and ended sometime the next year.
According to reports, Brown was separated from his wife at the time he and Harris dated.
As speaker, Brown doled out patronage positions to political allies, including Harris, who was named to two board positions that paid lucrative salaries.

“She was making the equivalent of 130 grand a year by today’s money for meeting twice a month for these medical boards and another position for what she had zero qualifications,” Kelly noted on her SiriusXM show on Monday.
“He was trying to lay the road for her political career.”
Harris eventually rose to become San Francisco’s district attorney. In 2011, she was elected California attorney general, a role she filled until 2017.
She succeeded Barbara Boxer as US senator before she was picked as former Vice President Joe Biden’s running mate in 2020.
Brown on Monday said he thinks President Biden should step down from the presidency and give Harris the reins.

He told reporters in San Francisco that the odds of beating the GOP nominee , former President Donald Trump, would be much higher if she was running as the sitting president.
“Her chances go up if he would at this moment say not only am I no longer the candidate, I’m no longer the president — she is,” Brown said, according to the San Francisco Standard .
