He additionally identified that he retweeted Gov. Moore’s personal endorsement of Kamala — so on its face, it seems he’s in truth endorsing her.
Montel Williams did not endorse Kamala Harris for President after Joe Biden dropped out — this although they dated … one thing he would not wanna discuss with the media.
The previous discuss present host — who’s transient relationship with the Veep from again within the early 2000s resurfaced amid phrase that she’s now the frontrunner for Dems — addressed the information about JB exiting stage left with a ringing endorsement of someone who wasn’t Kamala.
As an alternative, Montel threw his help behind Maryland’s governor, Wes Moore, who issued his personal assertion in regards to the bombshell … and whereas he did not throw his hat within the ring, MW definitely appears to be in his nook regardless.
He wrote … “I’d like to see @iamwesmoore main the ticket or in any other case on my poll and I’m able to marketing campaign. I’ve watched @GovWesMoore lead my dwelling state of Maryland, and I do know management once I see it.”

After all, that is a ringing endorsement … however even after it got here out that Biden was backing his VP for the job — Montel by no means provided up any additional remarks about his former flame … however greatest consider folks have been reaching out to ask him about it.
Montel appeared to already know that he’d be inundated with media requests about his time with Kamala — and he received forward of it by warning reporters to NOT ask him about it … in any other case, his press crew would torch ’em.
I’ve stated what I’m going to say in regards to the factor that retains trending. My pals within the media ought to suppose twice about losing time on a 20+ 12 months previous image – you can find doing so will earn an disagreeable response.

Montel’s PR man posted a screenshot of a convo he had with a journalist who already reached out about this — calling their inquiry “completely inappropriate” — and it appears like anybody else who does this may need their communications posted publicly.
Like we stated … Montel and Kamala have been an merchandise means again within the day — one thing MW has already addressed as being historical historical past and never being an enormous deal. Granted, now that she’s the odds-on favourite to win the Democratic nomination, that’ll be beneath a microscope anew.
