(Photo by Lev Radin/Sipa USA / Sipa via AP Images) Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) said he was offended by Kamala Harris’s team asking if he was a “double agent” for Israel while he was being vetted to be her running mate during the 2024 presidential race. Shapiro revealed he was irritated by the question in his upcoming book titled Where We Keep the Light. The New York Times published some excerpts from his memoir on Sunday evening. “‘Had I been a double agent for Israel?’ wrote Mr. Shapiro, describing a last-minute question from the vetting team,” The Times wrote. “He responded that the question was offensive, he wrote, and was told, ‘Well, we have to ask.’” The story continued, “Mr. Shapiro wrote that he understood that questioner was ‘just doing her job. But the fact that he was asked such questions, he wrote, ‘said a lot about some of the people around the VP.’” Shapiro was seen as one of the top contenders to join the Harris ticket after she replaced ex-President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee last year; Harris ultimately selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) to be her running mate. Many pundits — including CNN star Jake Tapper — speculated afterwards whether Shapiro was not chosen because he is Jewish. Shapiro also supported Israel following the Hamas terror attack on October 7, 2023 — another potential issue for many progressive voters, political observers argued. A rep for Harris did not immediately respond to The Times. The paper on Sunday wrote Shapiro was “pressed” on other issues tied to Israel as well. “I wondered whether these questions were being posed to just me — the only Jewish guy in the running — or if everyone who had not held a federal office was being grilled about Israel in the same way,” Shapiro wrote in his book, according to The Times.  Shapiro described the “sessions” with the Harris team as being “completely professional and businesslike.” But he “just had a knot in my stomach through all of it.”   Penn Gov.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara questioned the actions of the ICE agent who shot and killed protester Renee Good earlier this month during an interview with 60 Minutes on Sunday. O’Hara said the agent violated “basic steps” that officers know about approaching vehicles. Correspondent Cecilia Vega said the shooting has become a national “Rorschach test,” where some Americans see a “senseless killing” and others see an “officer defending his life.” O’Hara said he has watched clips of the incident — and come away asking why the officer was in front of Good’s SUV right before the shooting. “It’s not clear to me why he appears to be in the path of the vehicle more than once,” O’Hara said. “When you approach someone in a vehicle in a law enforcement encounter, there are very basic steps you take to ensure the officer’s safety and de-escalate the situation.” Vega then said Vice President JD Vance put the blame for the shooting “squarely” on Good the day after the attack. She also said Homeland Security officials accused Good and her partner of “stalking” immigration officers; Vega did not mention DHS shared footage last week of Good blocking traffic for three minutes with her vehicle before agents approached her. CBS News reported this week the ICE agent — Jonathan Ross — suffered internal bleeding after being struck by Good’s vehicle right before he opened fire. O’Hara told 60 Minutes he was in favor of “targeted, precise pre-planned operations on violent offenders,” which he said are a “good thing.” “But I’m concerned that people in the [Trump] administration don’t understand the reality of what is happening on the street,” he added. The 60 Minutes crew also captured a heckler shouting at O’Hara that he was a “pig” who was enabling ICE while they he was walking-and-talking to Vega. “People have a right to say disrespectful things… however, they cannot physically obstruct law enforcement from performing a function,” O’Hara said. “Those things are illegal.” Watch above.
