In a recent development that has sent ripples through the political landscape, former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) has re-emerged to critique Kamala Harris following Joe Biden's decision to step down from the presidential race and his subsequent endorsement of his Vice President.
Gabbard, known for her sharp commentary, has once again put Harris in the spotlight, questioning the authenticity of her leadership.
"Dont be fooled: policies wont change," Gabbard warned. "Just like Biden wasnt the one calling the shots, Kamala Harris wont be either. She is the new figurehead for the deep state and the maidservant of Hillary Clinton, queen of the cabal of warmongers."
According to RedState, Gabbard's comments come almost five years after her memorable 2019 debate performance against then-presidential candidate Harris. This debate is often credited with undermining Harris' chances of securing the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
Gabbard's critique of Harris didn't stop there. Earlier in the week, she took aim at Harris during the Republican National Convention for her attack on Sen. JD Vance, who was announced as Donald Trump's running mate.
In the midst of the political upheaval following Biden's withdrawal and Harris' apparent rise, it's worth examining Harris' comments about Vance:
Donald Trump has picked his new running mate: J.D. Vance. He will be loyal only to Trump, not to our country. If elected, he will help implement the extreme Project 2025 plan for a second Trump term. Were not going to let that happen.
Harris' assertion that Vance would prioritize loyalty to Trump over the nation is ironic, given her own track record of prioritizing her political career and loyalty to Biden over the country's interests. This is particularly evident in her handling of concerns about Biden's cognitive health and age.
Gabbard, in her characteristic style, eloquently highlighted this hypocrisy. She pointed out that unlike Harris, Vance had demonstrated his commitment to the country by enlisting in the military after the 9/11 attacks. Gabbard described Harris as a "self-serving politician who should not be in office":
Shortly after President Trump announced that JD Vance is gonna be his running mate in this election, Kamala Harris issued this scathing warning to the American people, saying, make no mistake, JD Vance will "be loyal only to Trump, not to our country."
The audacity that she has to say this is off the charts. She's talking about JD Vance, someone who enlisted in the Marine Corps after the terrorist attack on 9/11. Someone who deployed to Iraq in 2005, the same year that I was there, during the height of that war, putting his own life on the line in service to our country.
Was Kamala Harris willing to put her own life on the line in service to our country at any time in the past? Is she now? No. Kamala Harris is driven by her own political ambition. She's a self-serving politician who should not be in office.
While Harris' attack on Vance and Gabbard's response occurred before Biden's exit, they are particularly relevant now. Harris' political journey, from her rise in California politics to her national prominence, contrasts sharply with Vance's.
Critics on the left have questioned Harris' political skills, noting that her 2016 Senate seat victory came "against weak opposition." Her presidential run in 2019 ended prematurely due to an uneven performance, weak support, and internal turmoil among her advisors.
Harris was chosen as Biden's vice presidential running mate after her failed presidential campaign due to pressure to select a woman of color. Now, she is the "heir apparent" to the nomination, but only because Biden chose to step aside.
This raises questions about Harris' credibility and the authenticity of her political accomplishments. It also prompts speculation about where she would be if different decisions had been made by those around her.
In contrast, JD Vance and Donald Trump do not face such credibility issues. Therefore, before Harris questions anyone's loyalty to America versus their personal or political interests, she might want to reflect on her own political journey.
