The renowned former Mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown. Has debunked Donald Trump’s claim that they once had a harrowing heli ride together as nothing but “fiction.” In a statement on Thursday. The president said he and Brown were in a helicopter that was forced to make an emergency stop. And described their experience as terrifying. And both thought they would die. “We figured maybe this is it,” remembered Trump. However, 90-year-old Willie Brown firmly stated that he had never ridden with the ex-POTUS in a chopper, adding. “I don’t think I’d want to fly in the same helicopter as him.”
Mistaking Jerry Brown Willie
It seems Mr. Trump confused Willie Brown with Jerry Brown, California’s governor, at some point. At the same time, visiting Paradise after wildfires ravaged it in 2018, President Trump and Governor Jerry Brown flew together in a helicopter alongside the current California Governor Gavin Newsom. Both Jerry Brown and Newsom confirmed that there was no emergency landing during that flight, with Newsom telling The New York Times, “I call complete BS.”
Trump’s Comments about Kamala Harris Willie
This story from Trump came up when discussing Willie Brown’s connection to Kamala Harris when she served as a prosecutor in California during the mid-1990s. Asked whether this relationship influenced Harris’ career path, Trump said he knows Willie Brown “very well” and tied the helicopter tale to an alleged conversation where Mr. brown spoke ill of Ms. Harris. Suggesting that Mr. brown had a significant influence on Ms.. Harris’s career path thus retorted,mp, “He had a big part in what happened with Kamala.” Nevertheless, this one-time mayor insisted these were outrageous lies by calling these claims of trumps “so far-fetched it’s unbelievable”. Furthermore, stating that Harris being said by him has been her friend for so long, praising her, saying she is one wonderful woman, bright as all hell, very successful electorally.”
Imaginative Fiction and Political Background:
Trump’s story was described by Willie Brown as “creative fiction,” suggesting that the former president has a penchant for making things up. A representative for Jerry Brown also confirmed that he never discussed Kamala Harris with him during their helicopter trip 2018. Trump’s comment came at his Mar-a-Lago estate, where he held an hour-long press conference while a recent national survey showed Kamala Harris leading him among likely voters. Trump and Harris have been busy campaigning across key battleground states,,each with their own running mates.
The row exposes persistent political friction between Mr. Trump and his adversaries over unverified claims made by the ex-president. The fact that Mr. Brown categorically denied it and other officials backed it up means that, Trump’s account is more of an embellishment than anything else.
