Tulsi Gabbard isn’t holding back in her critique of Kamala Harris, and this isn’t the first time the former congresswoman has taken aim at the frailty of Harris’s political credentials. Nearly five years after Gabbard famously dismantled Harris’s campaign during a Democratic primary debate, Gabbard is back to expose the vice president’s perceived incompetence. While Harris has managed to climb the political ladder in the meantime, Gabbard questions whether her rise has been based on any real ability to handle America’s toughest challenges.
During that memorable debate performance in 2019, Gabbard launched a sharp critique of Harris’s tenure as California’s Attorney General, highlighting the shortcomings that led to Harris’s premature exit from the presidential race. The expression on Harris’s face during that exchange—a mix of shock and indignation—revealed a politician used to a level of deference that Gabbard refused to provide. Gabbard’s candor during that debate not only captivated viewers but has now re-emerged as a central argument as Harris positions herself for a potential presidential run, following President Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race.
Kamala Harris is not knowledgeable or strong enough to stand up to potential adversaries, or just as importantly the unelected warmongers — i.e. the Military Industrial Complex which profits from war, and the National Security State which uses these wars as a pretext to further… pic.twitter.com/1uUS6CtGii

As if the stakes weren’t high enough, Gabbard recently laid down the gauntlet once again, questioning Harris’s knowledge and strength to confront foreign adversaries. She painted a picture of a vice president more suited to photo-ops than the high-stakes negotiations that come with maintaining national security. According to Gabbard, Harris is just another pawn in the game orchestrated by the Military Industrial Complex and the entrenched National Security State, which thrive on endless conflict and the restrictions imposed on American freedoms.
The absurdity of a Vice President who frequently skips security briefings and neglects essential materials raises alarm bells. It paints a picture not of a serious candidate ready to lead, but rather of someone who seems more interested in social standing and popularity—traits reminiscent of a high school drama queen than a serious politician. This perception is compounded by Harris’s past actions and evident lack of respect for foreign policy nuances, particularly her notorious snubbing of Israel, a key ally in a volatile region.
Looking ahead to the 2024 election, the prospect of Kamala Harris as a frontrunner is a cause for concern, especially when Gabbard has positioned herself as a counterbalance. The Trump campaign would be wise to consider Gabbard’s insights and potentially integrate her into their strategy, given her evolving political persona and newfound focus on issues like the Second Amendment.
Tulsi Gabbard’s journey has turned heads, moving her from Democratic hopeful to a prominent conservative voice, and it’s clear she’s not going to fade quietly into the background. Given her willingness to challenge the political status quo and call out the weakness among potential leaders, she is poised to remain a central figure in the political arena for the foreseeable future.
