A journalist with
The Atlantic claimed that she kept records of reporters who displeased her.
Chelsea Janes, who wrote about the election for The Washington Post, is reportedly on the list.
In september her team was forced to bat away a story that she had not taken any formal questions from the press since she was named as Joe Biden's vice presidential pick, over a month previously. Harris had spoken to local media and some digital outlets such as The 19th, focusing on women, and The Grio, focusing on black issues.
She had not, however, held formal press sessions, according to a Reuters fact check.
The Atlantic reported that Harris, unlike Mike Pence and Biden before him, would not come to chat with reporters while flying with them on Air Force Two.
Harris's behavior raised eyebrows online.
One Twitter user likened her to Richard Nixon, who famously kept lists of his enemies.
Another wondered whether she was going to set the FBI on them.
Another remarked: 'She "tracks" reporters? Seems... interesting, to say the least.'
