Former Democrat 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has warned the American people that Vice President Kamala Harris “is the new figurehead for the deep state.”
Gabbard, who ran against Harris in the 2020 Democrat primary, and outperformed her, warns that Harris is a “maidservant of Hillary Clinton.”
She blasted Harris as the new puppet of the “deep state” after Democrat President Joe Biden announced the end of his re-election campaign Sunday.
Biden’s stunning decision came after weeks of pressure from his own political party, which began to fear his age had become a serious liability.
Within hours of Biden’s announcement, Harris was quickly anointed by the party’s power elite.
In a statement on X, Gabbard blasted Harris and Biden as the mascots of a shadowy bureaucratic political machine that pursues its own interests at the nation’s expense.
Gabbard, a former Democrat congresswoman who has drifted to the right in recent years, echoed Republicans who say Biden was cut loose in a cynical “coup” by the political elite.
“Biden’s out, Kamala is in,” Gabbard said.
“Don’t be fooled: policies won’t change.
“Just like Biden wasn’t the one calling the shots, Kamala Harris won’t be either.”

Gabbard also called the VP the “maidservant of Hillary Clinton” and warned that Harris would perpetuate a dangerous foreign policy catering to “warmongers” if elected president.
“She is the new figurehead for the deep state and the maidservant of Hillary Clinton, queen of the cabal of warmongers.
“They will continue their efforts to engulf the world in war and taking away our liberty.”
In fact, Hillary Clinton promptly endorsed Harris on Sunday,
The Clintons joined a rush of prominent Democrats who did the same.
Speculation has even emerged that Hillary Clinton may be making a play for the election ticket – either by replacing Biden or as Harris’s running mate.
Gabbard famously called Clinton the “queen of warmongers” after Hillary accused the then-Democrat congresswoman of being a Russian asset during the 2020 Democrat primary.
Clinton promoted the smear when Gabbard was surging in the primary and posed a threat to the establishment candidates, including Biden.
In one of the primary’s most memorable moments, Gabbard confronted Harris on the debate stage about her record as a prosecutor.
At the time, some credited Gabbard with ending Harris’ presidential campaign.
Harris’s 2020 campaign failed to gain any traction, despite an initial splash of glowing media coverage.
Things have now come full circle, with Harris’s background once again coming under scrutiny as she establishes herself as the frontrunner to take Biden’s place.
