Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, who tore into then-Senator Kamala Harris during the 2019 presidential debates and essentially caused Harris to plummet in the polls, had some harsh words regarding the possibility of Harris becoming president.
Gabbard, who now serves as a contributor for Fox News, was asked by Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, “You debated Kamala. Do you think she actually thinks she is smart and effective, and if so, why?”
“Without a doubt, she believes this,” Gabbard replied. “I can’t even begin to analyze why that is the case. She has been unqualified to serve as vice-president and is not qualified or capable at all for the very real prospect that if Biden wins, she will be president of the United States. That’s a fact; regardless of who’s on the top of the ticket as the Democrats figure this thing out, whether it’s Biden-Harris or Harris-whoever, a President Kamala Harris will be our Commander-In-Chief. And I can tell you as a soldier who was deployed to multiple war zones and I can speak for a lot of my brothers and sisters in uniform, that prospect should be terrifying for all Americans.”
“She is incapable and unqualified to be our country’s commander-in-chief, which then leads to what I know to be certain: Just as Joe Biden is not calling the shots on our foreign policy, he’s got Tony Blinken and Hillary Clinton and Jake Sullivan and Lloyd Austin and all of these other people in the deep state administrative state who are not elected, who are actually making these decisions related to our foreign policy, who have pushed us to the brink of multiple wars, Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and closer to the brink of nuclear war than ever before, if it is a President Kamala Harris, a Commander-in-Chief Kamala Harris, it will be the very same deep state making these decisions that have done such great harm to our own national security and to our freedom as a country,” Gabbard added.
At the July 31, 2019 debate, Gabbard fired at Harris:
Senator Harris says she’s proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she’ll be a prosecutor president. But I’m deeply concerned about this record. There are too many examples to cite but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.
She blocked evidence — she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California. And she fought to keep a bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.
Gabbard later added, “The bottom line is, Senator Harris, when you were in a position to make a difference and an impact in these people’s lives, you did not. And worse yet, in the case of those who were on death row, innocent people, you actually blocked evidence from being revealed that would have freed them until you were forced to do so. There is no excuse for that and the people who suffered under your reign as prosecutor owe — you owe them an apology.”
