Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff Party in NYC With Taxpayer-Funded Secret Service in Tow

Former Vice President Kamala Harris and former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff are making the rounds of public appearances and hanging out with their old set of elitists. As my colleague Katie Jerkovich reported, Harris made an appearance at the always insane Met Gala on Monday.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris also stopped by the gala, which had a ticket price of $75,000 and was invite-only. She wore a floor-length black and white cap gown. 

Unlike the other Met Gala guests, Harris at least was fully clothed, albeit the outfit was still unattractive and uninteresting. She'll never be the fashion icon that the legacy media seems to want to make her out to be. 

Ahead of a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee, former Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance at the Met Gala in New York, along with husband Doug Emhoff, wearing a custom black-and-white gown by Off-White.

Though they skipped the red carpet, Harris appears in photos ahead of the event wearing an elegant silk silhouette with an asymmetrical cape sleeve and a long scarf — a look meant to evoke a sense of timelessness, according to the luxury label.

The former vice president was invited by Vogue editor-in-chief and Met Gala co-chair Anna Wintour, according to a spokesperson for Harris. She has made few high-profile appearances since losing the presidential election in November, though she has recently given two speeches at the Leading Women Defined Summit and Emerge Gala, the latter of which benefits an organization that recruits and trains women to run for office.

But before hobnobbing with Wintour and Co., Harris and Emhoff decided they needed to really let their hair down. So, with her taxpayer-funded Secret Service agents in tow, Kam and Dougie arrived in New York on Sunday in order to hit up an exclusive New York City bar.

The jokes write themselves.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris and husband Doug Emhoff swooped into one of the most exclusive bars in New York City on Sunday night — with her taxpayer-funded Secret Service detail and up to seven SUVs in tow.

The failed Democrat presidential candidate and her hubby were spotted leaving celeb hotspot The Polo Bar on East 55th Street ahead of her expected appearance at the Met Gala on Monday.

The pair posed for pictures and chatted with the elite crowd at the Ralph Lauren-owned bar, where reservations must be made a month in advance.

Invite-only galas with astronomical ticket prices and exclusive wait-list bars. That Kamala, she's such a woman of the people! 

It seems Harris and her whiny husband are milking their formerly high-powered status for all it's worth and making us pay for it. According to the New York Post, former VPs can keep their Secret Service protection for up to six months after leaving office. After that, the gravy train stops. May 20 is less than two weeks away, and opportunists are going to opportune. They'll both be dining out on their White House status for years to come, but soon we won't have to pay for it.

Footage from outside the bar shows several Secret Service agents flanking the couple and waiting outside, where up to seven SUVs were stationed.

A former veep usually gets a handful of agents for personal protection, law enforcement sources said.

Ex-veeps are usually entitled to taxpayer-funded protection for about six months after leaving office.

For a woman who is trying to re-establish herself as a political candidate, Harris does a horrible job even at this. According to reports, Harris is still mulling over a run for governor of California in 2026. But what kind of optics is the flagrant use of taxpayer-funded Secret Service in order to go party? 

Not a very good look. Of course, the way California has been trending lately, Harris would only help to elect the state's first Republican governor in decades. So, perhaps Harris' poor judgment and invite-only appearances are not such a bad idea.

The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda.
