Former Hawaii Rep. Gabbard says Trump should go after Harris's character during the debate

Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard advised GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump to go after Vice President Kamala Harris's character during the upcoming debates. 

Both Gabbard and Harris ran for president in 2019 and were on the debate stage together. Gabbard made headlines for criticizing Harris's record as a prosecutor.

“It’s about her character,” Gabbard said in an interview with the Washington Examiner. “That was really what I exposed in that debate in 2019 when we were both candidates running for president, was her hypocrisy and how she would say one thing and do another."

She said that Harris holds other people to one standard while holding herself to a different standard. 

"I challenged her on the record that she claimed to be proud of, and she had nothing to say to defend that record. Not much has changed between then and now," Gabbard told the outlet. 

“It’s not about tying her to Biden, it’s tying her to her own record,” she added. “She has very intentionally tied herself as vice president to Joe Biden, pointing out, both of them, that there is no space between them when it comes to policy, that they were a team, that they did everything together. This is about holding her to account for her record and sharing the truth with the American people that Kamala Harris is trying to hide with her lies.”

She advised that Trump should go after Harris's character. 

“She is a fake person who cannot be trusted and who cares only about herself and her political ambition and not about the American people," Gabbard said.
