Hmmmmm?
The gloves ARE off against Harris?
Could Gabbard be auditioning for a Vice President nod on the Biden ticket?
And Gabbard IS correct….
The ‘gotcha’ moment was a political ploy…
But they they ALL are running for the nomination which IS political…
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) went after Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) for her remarks on former President Joe Biden at the first round of Democratic debates last month.
Gabbard called Harris’s viral moment, in which she called out Biden for his previous stance on busing and comments about working with segregationists in Congress, a “political ploy” to smear Biden and boost her standing in the crowded Democratic primary field.
“Really what she’s saying is her position is the same one she was criticizing Joe Biden for,” Gabbard said Monday on CBS News. “So this is just a political ploy and I think a very underhanded one just to try to get herself attention, to move herself up in the polls.”
“I think we need to be above that,” Gabbard added. “All of us.”
Gabbard also said Harris has been “leveling this accusation that Joe Biden is a racist — when he’s clearly not — as a way to try to smear him.”
Ian Sams, a spokesperson for Harris, pointed out Gabbard’s accusation is in direct opposition to what Harris said about Biden at the debate….

The Charleston newspaper is reporting that Harris now has the largest organization in S.C.
Harris is apparently going all in here in an attempt to take Biden out.
Biden maintains majority support among Black voters in the Palmetto state.Of course there is still over half a year before the primary.
Politicos expect Biden to match her campaign here.
Corey Booker,who was expected to make a big push here, continues to lag behind Harris in organizational efforts in S.C.Some here question whether he will even still be around Come the primary.
Thanks for the report on the ground Jack….
South Carolina IS CRITICAL for the nomination…..
Harris trailed Biden and Sanders in California the last time I looked…
Cali is right behind SC I believe and has the most delegates…
