Willie Brown is the former progressive Democrat Mayor of San Fransisco and Speaker of the California Assembly.

People's Temple

In an interview of Jim Jones by Willie Brown for a television show about the Peoples Temple, Brown stated "You've managed to make the many peoples associated with the Peoples Temple a part of a family. If you're in need of health care, you GET health care. If you're in need of legal assistance of some sort, you get that. If you're in need of transportation, you get that."[1] On another occasion, Brown stated "San Francisco should have ten more Jim Joneses."[2]

Willie Brown, Gov. Jerry Brown, George Moscone, Lieutenant Governor Mervyn Dymally, District Attorney Joseph Freitas, among others, attended a large testimonial dinner in Jim Jones' honor in September 1976.[3][4] Willie Brown served as master of ceremonies and introduced Jones, stating "Let me present to you what you should see every day when you look in the mirror in the early morning hours ... Let me present to you a combination of Martin King, Angela Davis, Albert Einstein ... Chairman Mao."[5][6][7] At another testimonial dinner, Brown introduced Jones, referring to him as "a young man came upon the scene, became an inspiration for a whole lot of people. He’s done fantastic things."[8]

Willie Brown had visited the People's Temple a dozen times, some by invitation and some on his own.[9][10] Preliminary consideration was given by Governor Brown's administration to a statewide post for Jim Jones before his flight to Guyana.[11] When investigations into the Temple's activities began, Brown said of Jones that "[h]e is a rare human being" and "he cares about people...Rev. Jim Jones is that person who can be helpful when all appears to be lost and hope is just about gone."[12]

Kamala Harris

Harris began her career in politics at the age of 29 by having an extra-marital affair with the corrupt 60-year-old California politician Willie Brown.[13] As San Fransisco mayor, when they were having their affair, Brown was dogged by conflict of interest accusations, and as speaker of the California Assembly was investigated by the FBI. When the tryst began, she was a low level clerk in a city office of Mayor Brown's political machine.[14] Mayor Brown gave her a brand new 1994 BMW. As Speaker, Brown appointed her to high paying jobs on the California Medical Assistance Commission and Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board.[15] During her first bid for electoral office as district attorney of San Francisco in 2003, which Speaker Brown supported with donations, she excused the gift of a brand new BMW away, telling reporters she traded it in for a 1997 BMW which she then drove.[16]

After dumping Harris and divorcing his wife, 84 year old Willie Brown now lives with Russian model Sonya Molodetskaya.[17]
