The circular firing squad debate on Wednesday night included Tulsi Gabbard’s beat down of Kamala Harris. Harris has been a master revisionist of her record on crime, healthcare and other issues.
Tulsi Gabbard called her on it.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D–Calif.) “put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana,” said Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D–Hawaii) at the beginning of her assault on Harris. Gabbard told her Harris owed the men who suffered under her reign an apology.
Harris had gone after Biden for his record on crime, glorifying her own, but Tulsi wouldn’t let her get away with it. She painted her as a drug warrior and a bad cop.

Harris says she’s proud of her record, “but I am deeply concerned about this record,” said Gabbard. “There are too many examples to cite, but…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.”

Tulsi Gabbard also picked on Harris healthcare record. Harris quickly pivoted to Biden to deprive Gabbard of screen time.

It’s possible Harris won’t survive this because Gabbard’s comments are accurate.
Tulsi hammered her again after the debate.
