Former talk show host Montel Williams, who once briefly dated Vice President Kamala Harris in 2001, has defended the presidential nominee.
After Joe Biden stepped down, some critics have claimed that Kamala Harris “slept her way to the top” and have tried to tarnish her image but bringing up her ex-boyfriends.
“Kamala Harris will move us forward, toward a brighter future for all. She is the fighter we need at this moment to realize the full promise of our nation,” Maryland Governor Moore wrote.
Williams retweeted the post, adding “Reminding folks I RT’d this.”

In a separate tweet, he to a TMZ article that indicating he was not supporting the vice president.
“Guys, i hate to ruin your day, but you massively misinterpreted my tweet. I will vote for whomever can beat Trump,” he wrote, later adding “I’ve said what I’m going to say about the thing that keeps trending. My friends in the media should think twice about wasting time on a 20+ year old picture—you will find doing so will earn an unpleasant reaction.”
Williams appears to have deleted the tweet.
He also claimed that while he did date Harris “briefly,” they were both single at the time.
The tweet has been deleted but was captured by TheJasmineBRAND.
