NY Post Reporter Resigns Following Story Claiming Harris Book Was Given To Migrant Children

New York Post reporter Laura Italiano resigned following a story she claimed she was “ordered to write” about migrant children allegedly receiving copies of Vice President Kamala Harris’ children’s book at a shelter in Long Beach, Calif.

“An announcement: Today I handed in my resignation to my editors at the New York Post,” Italiano tweeted on Tuesday.

She added, “The Kamala Harris story – an incorrect story I was ordered to write and which I failed to push back hard enough against – was my breaking point. It’s been a privilege to cover the City of New York for its liveliest, wittiest tabloid – a paper filled with reporters and editors I admire deeply and hold as friends. I’m sad to leave.”
