Do you remember where you were at 9:26 p.m. EDT on July 31? Sen. Kamala Harris certainly does.

That was the moment her campaign for president ended. She only just got around to admitting it on Tuesday.

Harris, a former prosecutor in San Francisco and attorney general of California, had performed swimmingly in one of the two Democratic debate sessions held in late June. She made a real impression by taking former Vice President Joe Biden down a notch. Although she carefully avoided using the word, she insinuated that Biden’s erstwhile opposition to federally mandated busing made him a racist.

This was exactly what the voters in today’s ever-more extreme and uber-woke Democratic primary wanted to hear. Harris’s support swelled in the weeks that followed; two polls showed her in second place nationally, at 17% and 20%.

But then came that July 31 debate. Tulsi Gabbard, a Democratic Hawaiian congresswoman with no real shot at the nomination, was given a chance to comment on Harris and her attacks on Biden. Presented with this layup opportunity, she dunked it so hard that she pulled down the rim and shattered the backboard.

“Sen. Harris says she's proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she'll be a prosecutor president,” Gabbard said. “But I'm deeply concerned about this record. There are too many examples to cite, but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.”

That was probably enough right there. Harris had indeed laughed in the same podcast where she apparently lied about listening to Snoop Dogg.

But Gabbard continued: “She blocked evidence — she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California. And she fought to keep the cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.”

Harris could only struggle to reply. Gabbard had taken her apart in a few short seconds, prompting the debate audience to cheer.

Harris rapidly fell from the Democratic primary’s top tier to fighting Andrew Yang for sixth place. Despite the $25 million she spent to become president, her campaign never recovered.

And as far as we’re concerned, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. Gabbard's brief speech that night perfectly summed up Harris’s career of hypocrisy and dishonesty and ended her chances for good.

Harris was a typical unethical prosecutor, and she continues to be unconstrained by the truth. She defended prosecutorial misconduct in California. She used her power to keep wrongfully convicted defendants behind bars. She advocated jailing the parents of truant children. She opposed criminal justice reform.

She intended to use the power of the presidency not merely to prosecute criminals but to prosecute a culture war.

Harris supported California’s law forcing crisis pregnancy centers to refer patients for abortion, which the Supreme Court has since struck down as an unconstitutional abridgment of the freedom of speech. During her campaign, she promised to impose new gun controls by executive order. The common thread running through her background is that Harris consistently opposes the constitutional rights of individuals — to free speech, to bear arms, to fair trials, and more.

During Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings, Harris misled the press in hopes of derailing a confirmation that, at that point at least, seemed inevitable. In the first round of hearings, long before the controversy that made Kavanaugh a household name, Harris claimed to have evidence that Kavanaugh, then a circuit court judge, had had an inappropriate conversation with President Trump’s counsel about the Robert Mueller investigation.

As usual, Harris was full of it . When her assertions were finally debunked, she walked them back, blaming Kavanaugh for failing to refute them quickly enough.

This sort of behavior is not a bug. It is typical of Harris’s professional career. Harris is a hypocritical wannabe authoritarian unfettered by the constraints of honesty or the Constitution. America is a safer place with her out of the running for president.
