Tulsi Gabbard: A President Kamala Harris would be ‘terrifying’

Amid speculation that Kamala Harris may replace President Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee, Tulsi Gabbard has mocked the Vice President saying the prospect of her becoming the chief executive “should be terrifying for all Americans.”

“She has been unqualified to serve as vice-president and is not qualified or capable at all for the very real prospect that if Biden wins, she will be president of the United States,” Gabbard, the first-ever Hindu American US lawmaker said of the Indian American leader.

“That’s a fact; regardless of who’s on the top of the ticket as the Democrats figure this thing out, whether it’s Biden-Harris or Harris-whoever, a President Kamala Harris will be our Commander-In-Chief,” former Democratic presidential candidate turned independent, told Fox News. “And I can tell you as a soldier who was deployed to multiple war zones and I can speak for a lot of my brothers and sisters in uniform, that prospect should be terrifying for all Americans.”

“She is incapable and unqualified to be our country’s commander-in-chief, which then leads to what I know to be certain: Just as Joe Biden is not calling the shots on our foreign policy, he’s got Tony Blinken and Hillary Clinton and Jake Sullivan and Lloyd Austin and all of these other people in the deep state administrative state who are not elected, who are actually making these decisions related to our foreign policy, who have pushed us to the brink of multiple wars, Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and closer to the brink of nuclear war than ever before, if it is a President Kamala Harris, a Commander-in-Chief Kamala Harris, it will be the very same deep state making these decisions that have done such great harm to our own national security and to our freedom as a country,” Gabbard added.

Gabbard, who tore into then-Senator Kamala Harris during the 2019 presidential debates was asked by Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, “You debated Kamala. Do you think she actually thinks she is smart and effective, and if so, why?”

“Without a doubt, she believes this,” Gabbard, now a paid contributor to Fox News, replied. “I can’t even begin to analyze why that is the case.”
