HITO BOOK CLUB RETURNS, with a critical review of Kamala Harris’s new book 107 Days, detailing her journey during the shortest campaign in modern American history. There's A LOT to talk about in these pages, and the HITO MEN leave no quote unread. They dive into how unfairly Harris was treated by Biden and his team, how Harris clearly had disdain for the pro-Palestinian protesters, Harris’s defense of her big interview blunders, and much more.
