Gabbard Advising Trump Not To 'Underestimate' Harris In Debate


Former Hawaii Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who has endorsed former President Donald Trump, has warned him not to take Vice President Kamala Harris lightly.

She spoke to CNN anchor Dana Bash this weekend and gave a stark warning to the Republican nominee.

“Kamala Harris has a lot of experience. She is not to be underestimated,” the former representative said.

“President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have very different records. This is a unique situation where we have two candidates who have served at the highest offices in the land, President Trump four years as President Kamala Harris, now almost four years as vice president, working alongside President Biden,” she said.

“And so this will be an opportunity for voters to look at and compare and contrast those records. If I can be helpful to President Trump in any way, it really is just sharing the experience that I had with her on that debate stage in 2020 and, frankly, helping to point out some ways that Kamala Harris has already shown that she is trying to move away from her record, move away from her positions, and how that contradicts the positions and statements that she is making now that she is the Democratic nominee,” she said.

“And it is a remarkable situation in that you are a Democrat who debated her at a Democratic primary, and now you are helping the Republican nominee to debate her,” the anchor said.

“And on that, I remember, in 2020, you attacked Harris for being too aggressive as a prosecutor, which is the opposite from what Donald Trump is saying about her, as weak on crime. So which is it?” she said.

“What I pointed out on that debate stage in the 2020 campaign was her hypocrisy,” the Trump supporter said.

“It was how she was saying one thing and doing another, how she was prosecuting people for smoking marijuana and laughing about it when she was asked about it on a radio show. And I think this goes to the heart of many of these different issues that we’re seeing now that Kamala Harris is trying to hide from voters is how she says her position is one thing, but her actions and her record show exactly the opposite,” she said.
