Terris, in an excerpt published Thursday in Politico, wrote about how in the days following being fired by Feinstein’s office – after raising concerns about her treatment of black people and her mental faculties – Jamarcus Purley protested by getting high on mushrooms and smoking a joint in her office and then posting the video.
Purley, Terris wrote, had had enough.
While Purley’s boss wrote in his termination letter that he was fired for repeatedly not showing up to work and writing back to constituents without a manager’s approval, the young black staffer said he had been let go for telling ‘hard truths’ about the California Democrat.
‘It was obvious to him that her mental faculties were dimming and she might be going senile,’ Terris wrote.
[Isn’t it interesting that those around Feinstein are only coming out now to tell these stories? I probably won’t buy the book, but I won’t mind passing the popcorn. — Ed]
