In a strategic recommendation to Donald Trump, former Democratic candidate Tulsi Gabbard urged focusing on Vice President Kamala Harris's character inconsistencies during their upcoming presidential debate.
Just The News reported that Gabbard, once a Democratic contender for the presidency, has publicly given advice to Republican nominee Donald Trump on his debate strategy against Vice President Kamala Harris. During an interview, Gabbard reflected on their interactions from the 2019 Democratic primaries.
Gabbard's critique centers on what she perceives as a lack of consistency in Harris's political persona and her public record.
According to Gabbard, this was a significant issue during their debates when they both vied for the Democratic nomination.
Back in 2019, Gabbard took Harris to task over her record as a prosecutor. She argued that Harris demonstrated a pattern of saying one thing and doing another, essentially accusing her of hypocrisy.
"That was really what I exposed in that debate in 2019 when we were both candidates running for president, was her hypocrisy and how she would say one thing and do another," Gabbard reiterated in her recent statements.
Gabbard highlighted a dissonance in Harris's record, suggesting that the Vice President had not adequately defended her actions when challenged.
"I challenged her on the record that she claimed to be proud of, and she had nothing to say to defend that record. Not much has changed between then and now," she explained.
In her critique, Gabbard also pointed out Harris's strategic positioning within the Democratic party, particularly her close alignment with President Joe Biden. She emphasized that Harris and Biden have portrayed themselves as a unified front with no discernible policy differences, a point of contention for Gabbard.
"She has very intentionally tied herself as vice president to Joe Biden, pointing out, both of them, that there is no space between them when it comes to policy, that they were a team, that they did everything together," Gabbard said, underscoring the implications of such a partnership.
Gabbard argues that this strategic positioning indicates Harris's approach to her political career—often prioritizing alignment over individual accountability.
"It’s not about tying her to Biden, it’s tying her to her own record," she added, highlighting the need for voters to scrutinize Harris's personal political history rather than her association with Biden.
Gabbard's most severe criticism of Harris was on a personal level, questioning her sincerity and trustworthiness.
"She is a fake person who cannot be trusted and who cares only about herself and her political ambition and not about the American people," she asserted vehemently.
These pointed remarks by Gabbard are part of a broader narrative she has maintained since their primary race, consistently challenging Harris on matters of principle and integrity.
The former congresswoman's advice to Trump suggests a continuation of these themes in the upcoming presidential debates. Gabbard's insights reflect her experiences and observations from their previous encounters, providing a unique perspective on what might influence the dynamics of the forthcoming electoral discussions.
