Former Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard was recently brought in to assist former President Donald Trump in his preparation for the upcoming debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. Gabbard made headlines for a bombshell moment in 2019 when she roasted then-Senator Harris in the Democratic primary debates. As a result, the Trump campaign has sought her expertise in how to take on the vice president.
Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said, “[Trump has] proven to be one of the best debaters in political history as evidenced by his knockout blow to Joe Biden.” She further noted, “He does not need traditional debate prep but will continue to meet with respected policy advisers and effective communicators like Tulsi Gabbard, who successfully dominated Kamala Harris on the debate stage in 2020.”
During the famous 2019 debate incident, Gabbard exposed Harris’ record as a prosecutor. “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,” Gabbard said.
She added, “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 cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.”
Speaking about her selection to assist the Republican presidential candidate, Gabbard recently appeared on Fox News, where she outlined how Harris will not stand a chance against a seasoned and formidable debater such as Trump. Gabbard told Jesse Watters that Harris puts on an “act” that is exposed when she is confronted with challenging questions.
“She is a typical politician who will say one thing and do another. Rules for thee but not for me, and that’s a reflection of exactly how she is going through this debate prep. She’s got her pollsters surrounding her. They’re telling her word for word, exactly the things that she needs to say, the lines she needs to memorize so that she can act and put on a big show in this debate. And it’s such a huge contrast. You know, you saw once she was confronted and challenged a little bit on her hypocrisy she didn’t respond very well,” Gabbard said.
The former Democrat continued, “And I think that points to the big contrast that the American people will see in this upcoming debate. President Trump is real. He is not a politician by any means. I think we want another typical politician who is choosing their every word very carefully. He’s a real person, a strong leader, a strong debater who has strong views on issues, and you don’t have to guess where he stands on those issues, and you don’t have to guess about what he will do, because he’s got four years of a record to stand on of success.”
