Former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has issued a stark warning about the potential presidency of Vice President Kamala Harris. Gabbard expressed deep concerns during an appearance on Patrick Bet-David's PBD Podcast, emphasizing that Harris is "completely unqualified" to serve as the nation's commander in chief.
Gabbard's criticism centers on what she perceives as Harris's lack of the necessary experience, knowledge, and temperament for the role. She warned that Harris would be easily manipulated by the military-industrial complex, which could lead to a continued state of war rather than pursuing peace and diplomacy.

Gabbard's criticisms are not new. She previously attacked Harris's record during the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, particularly highlighting Harris's tenure as California's Attorney General.
Gabbard accused Harris of keeping people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor and criticized her for supporting a cash bail system that disproportionately affects the poor.

This latest attack comes as discussions intensify about the 2024 presidential election and the possibility that Harris might succeed President Biden. Gabbard's comments reflect a broader apprehension among some voters about Harris's leadership capabilities. She argues that Harris's perceived need to project strength could result in dangerous decisions involving the U.S. military.
In her role as a vice president, Harris has faced various challenges and controversies. Despite efforts to address systemic issues within the criminal justice system, her past decisions as a prosecutor continue to haunt her. Critics, including Gabbard, point to these past decisions as evidence of Harris's unsuitability for the highest office in the land.
The concerns raised by Gabbard are echoed by other political analysts who question Harris's ability to handle the pressures of the presidency, especially in a global context marked by increasing tensions and complex diplomatic challenges. The debate over Harris's qualifications and potential presidency is likely to be a significant issue as the 2024 election approaches.
While Gabbard's harsh assessment of Harris might resonate with some conservative voters, it also underscores the deep divisions within American politics. The discourse surrounding Harris's qualifications and leadership style will undoubtedly continue to be a focal point in the upcoming election cycle.
