“#Washington Post caught scrubbing Kamala Harris ‘prisoner’ story<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Washington Post scrubbed an unflattering anecdote of Vice President Kamala Harris crassly laughing at the thought of a prisoner begging for a drink of water \u2014 then backtracked Friday after an eagle-eyed reporter took notice.<\/p>\n

Harris made the comments in a July 2019 Washington Post profile<\/a> about her relationship with her sister and trusted aide, Maya Harris, when the former California prosecutor was running for president.<\/p>\n

But that story disapp<\/a>eared from the site \u2014 with its link redirecting to a newer version published on Jan. 11, sans anecdote.<\/p>\n

In the opening of the 2019 piece, Harris described her grueling schedule on the campaign trail \u2014 and the respite she got from SoulCycle sessions and walks on the beach with her husband.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a treat that a prisoner gets when they ask for, \u2018A morsel of food please,\u2019\u201d Harris told Washington Post reporter Ben Terris, who described the then-presidential candidate as \u201cshoving her hands forward as if clutching a metal plate, her voice now trembling like an old British man locked in a Dickensian jail cell.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018And water! I just want wahtahhh\u2026.’\u201d Harris continued. \u201cYour standards really go out the f\u2014ing window.\u201d<\/p>\n

Terris noted, \u201cKamala burst into laughter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The link to the original story rerouted to the newer version published this month \u2014 a nearly identical version without the unflattering Harris prison anecdote.<\/p>\n

The updated version instead has a more general<\/a> opening about past politicians turning to family members as their closest advisors. <\/p>\n

The quiet move was caught by libertarian magazine The Reason<\/a> on Friday \u2014 prompting the Washington Post to restore the original 2019 feature and link to it in its Jan. 11 story.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis story has been updated from an\u00a0earlier published version,\u201d the newer story now says up top.<\/p>\n

A Washington Post spokeswoman explained the update in a statement to The Reason.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should have kept both versions of the story on the\u00a0Post\u2019s site (the original and updated one), rather than redirecting to the updated version,\u201d said the news<\/a>paper\u2019s vice president for communications Kris Coratti on Friday. \u201cWe have now done that, and you will see the link to the original at the top of the updated version.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Coratti told The Reason \u201cwe repurposed and updated some of our strong biographical pieces about both political figures\u201d as part of an online series<\/a> launched ahead of the inauguration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe profile of Maya Harris was updated with new reporting, as noted online, using the existing URL. The original story remains available in print,\u201d Coratti said.<\/p>\n

But the mag noted that Coratti didn\u2019t provide other examples of similar updates or say if the Harris\u2019s reps asked for the change.<\/p>\n

Harris\u2019 press secretary Sabrina Singh declined to comment and deferred questions to the Washington Post.<\/p>\n

Harris, 56, spent decades working as a prosecutor in California. She was elected the state\u2019s attorney general from 2011 to 2017 before her stint as a US senator.<\/p>\n

During her bid for presidency, Harris billed herself as a \u201cprogressive prosecutor\u201d \u2014 even though critics panned her for favoring police and moving too slowly on criminal justice reform.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
