Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson has had a very successful career encouraging people to spotlight the power of love and the importance of forgiveness.
But now Williamson, the best-selling author and spiritual adviser who earlier this month launched her second straight campaign for the White House and who’s the first Democrat with a national following to primary challenge President Biden, is facing allegations from former political staffers that her public image stands very much in contrast with her private behavior.
According to a report published Thursday by Politico, a dozen people who worked with Williamson on her 2020 presidential campaign say she “subjected her employees to unpredictable, explosive episodes of anger. They said Williamson could be cruel and demeaning to her staff and that her behavior went far beyond the typical stress of a grueling presidential cycle.”
Williamson is calling the accusations “slanderous” and “categorically untrue.”

Former two-term Rep. Paul Hodes of New Hampshire, who served as Williamson’s state director in 2020 in the crucial first-in-the-nation presidential primary state, is corroborating the report.

“What Politico reported was entirely consistent with what I saw on the campaign and what I personally experienced with her on multiple occasions,” Hodes, who was quoted in the report, told Fox News on Thursday.
Hodes said “there are multiple reasons why I’m not helping her this time around. Her behavior is one reason.”
