Rep. Tulsi Gabbard accused Sen. Kamala Harris of “lies and smears and innuendos" during a fiery exchange at Wednesday night’s Democratic presidential primary debate, saying a Harris presidency would be more of the “status quo.” The tense moment began when Gabbard, D-Hawaii, was asked about her attack last month on Hillary Clinton -- the former secretary of state had suggested in an interview that Gabbard was a “favorite of the Russians." “Our Democratic Party is not of or by the people,” Gabbard said, blasting the Democratic establishment. “I’m running for president to be the Democratic nominee that rebuilds our Democratic...

President Trump slammed Sen. Kamala Harris for her cowardly decision to skip a planned speech at a historically black college because he was honored with an award there. Trump sparked a war of words with the California Democrat, calling her a “badly failing presidential candidate” after she withdrew from a forum at Benedict College in South Carolina where the president was honored for getting a highly praised criminal justice reform bill passed last year. https://t.co/zDEOQfpvk1 pic.twitter.com/Bxpt7nQTjG — Donald J.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) canceled an appearance at a South Carolina college scheduled for this weekend after the school honored President Donald Trump with an award on Friday. Harris, whose presidential campaign has floundered in recent weeks, was supposed to attend a criminal justice forum on Saturday at Benedict College, a historically black institute of higher learning located in Columbia, South Carolina. The California Democrat, however, opted to cancel the appearance after the college honored Trump on Friday for his work in advancing criminal justice reform.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) falsely claimed during the Democrat debate Tuesday night that “women will die, poor women, women of color will die” because Republican-led states have passed abortion restrictions. Sen. Kamala Harris said during the segment of the debate on health care in Ohio that Republicans “have passed laws that will virtually prevent women from having access to reproductive healthcare.” She added: And it is not an exaggeration to say, women will die, poor women, women of color will die because these Republican legislators in these various states who are out of touch with America are telling women what...

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., on Sunday said the impeachment of President Trump "shouldn't take very long" because she claimed he's already confessed that he pressured Ukrainian leaders to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a 2020 presidential rival. While taking questions at a United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) candidate forum in Altoona, Iowa, the White House contender was asked by UFCW President Marc Perrone if she would prosecute Trump for impeachment. "I've been calling for the impeachment of this president for a long time," replied Harris, a former prosecutor in San Francisco. "And, based on everything I know, yes."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California Sen. Dianne Feinstein has endorsed Joe Biden for president, lining up with a fellow centrist Democrat and onetime Senate colleague and snubbing her home-state counterpart, Sen. Kamala Harris. In a statement Tuesday, Feinstein says she has worked closely with the former vice president and Delaware senator and has “seen firsthand his legislative ability, his statesmanship and most importantly his moral fortitude.”

Something surprising happened after Kamala Harris publicly asked Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to ban President Trump from Twitter....

A spokesman for Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) on Wednesday lashed out at fellow Democratic presidential hopeful Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) after the congresswoman criticized Harris's call on Twitter to suspend President Trump's account.

Sen. Kamala Harris suggested that Twitter should suspend President Trump's account after a firestorm of tweets in which he criticized the anonymous whistleblower whose complaint led to an impeachment inquiry against him. "The president's tweets and his behaviors about this are just further evidence of the fact that he uses his power in a way that is designed to beat people down instead of lift people up," Harris said to Anderson Cooper during a Monday interview. "His Twitter account should be suspended," she said. "There is plenty of evidence to suggest that he is irresponsible with his words in a...

Presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris told MSNBC the impeachment process won't take long because President Donald Trump has already confessed. "Here's the thing, Joy," Harris said during a phone interview with AM Joy‘s Joy Reid. "Basically, the president has confessed and there is evidence of consciousness of guilt which is, they tried to bury the transcript. We've got a transcript. I mean frankly, people have said to me you know ‘do you think these hearings are going to take very long?' Not really because there’s a whole lot of direct evidence including his virtual confession." Harris explained she is confident...

The Kamala Harris campaign gamble on Iowa as the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination nears the opening caucuses may not pay off, according to campaign strategists. "I'm f--king moving to Iowa," Harris, 54, was overheard telling a Senate colleague this month. Though the former California attorney general was being at least partly facetious, she has promised to visit the first-in-the-nation state every week of October and will double the size of her Hawkeye State staff as she tries to overcome her summer slump before primary voters start caucusing on Feb. 3. The tactic represents a shift in emphasis...

Presidential contender Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) called for a formal impeachment inquiry into Brett Kavanaugh on Friday in the wake of a new sexual misconduct claim against the Supreme Court justice. “I write to urge the House Judiciary Committee to take appropriate action to investigate recent reports about Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and to hold Mr. Kavanaugh accountable for his prior conduct and testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee,” Harris wrote in a letter, dated Sept. 17, to the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.). Harris, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which...

Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) asked Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.) in a Sept. 17 letter to open a formal impeachment inquiry into Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh following the New York Times's publication of new accusations that omitted exculpatory evidence. Harris argued the sexual misconduct allegations made against Kavanaugh in a Sept. 14 New York Times book excerpt raised the possibility that he may have lied to the Senate during his confirmation hearing. She added that the FBI investigation into the original claims made against Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford was insufficient. Harris reiterated her beliefs in an op-ed...

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) called for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to be impeached on Sunday, following a New York Times article that reported a new allegation of sexual misconduct from his college days. Harris did not mention, or did not know, that the authors’ own book refutes the allegation, which the alleged victim reportedly does not recall. The accuser — not the victim — also represented Bill Clinton during his impeachment.

While California is the nation’s most populous and richest state – and has been for a half-century – it hasn’t wielded the level of national political power one might expect from that status. New York, still the nation’s financial center, and Texas, California’s chief cultural and economic rival, have been much more successful in projecting themselves nationally. That’s been especially true in presidential politics. New Yorker Donald Trump sits in the White House, having defeated New Yorker Hillary Clinton three years ago. The Bush family from Texas won the presidency three times in the past three decades. But California hasn’t...

Investigative journalist David Daleiden said Kamala Harris is “the greatest threat to civil rights” that Americans have seen in generations. Speaking Tuesday on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight, Daleiden described Harris’s biased prosecution of him after he exposed Planned Parenthood’s potentially illegal sales of aborted baby body parts. Harris, a pro-abortion Democratic senator from California, is running for president of the United States. Just a few years ago, Daleiden said she abused her role as state attorney general to prosecute him for exposing the billion-dollar abortion “nonprofit.” “I think that Kamala Harris is the greatest threat to civil rights and the...

Democratic presidential candidate and Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.) has taken the concept of "red flag" gun confiscation laws a step further with a proposal to take guns away from white nationalists who might commit a hate crime. According to a policy proposal on her campaign website Wednesday, Harris said she would work to "combat and disarm violent hate" from white supremacists by pushing for legislation to give courts the ability to issue "Domestic Terrorism Prevention Orders" to take away the guns of "a suspected terrorist or individual who may imminently perpetrate a hate crime." According to the statement, such orders...

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) pushed her gun control agenda in an interview Wednesday with CNN's Wolf Blitzer during the Philadelphia police shooting. Harris, speaking of the El Paso shooting, said President Trump may not have pulled the trigger but he did supply the ammunition with "racist rhetoric." Harris said law enforcement should be allowed to seize guns from those "suspected to be involved" in domestic terrorism. "I'm prepared to say that law enforcement should be allowed to seize the guns of those who are suspected to be involved in domestic terrorism," Harris said. "I agree with Harry...

Chicago detectives investigating an alleged attack on Jussie Smollett are working to obtain the actor's financial records, a high-ranking police source said Wednesday. Investigators have also sought to ask Smollett additional questions about the attack he reported on January 29. Smollett's attorneys have not indicated when their client will be available to talk to police. Smollett told authorities that two men attacked him, putting a rope around his neck and pouring an unknown chemical substance on him. Smollett denies playing a role in his attack, according to a statement from his attorneys. In a statement, 20th Century Fox Television, which...

The Jamaican father of Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris said last Friday that his daughter employed a 'fraudulent stereotype' of pot-smoking Jamaicans when she acknowledged last week that she had smoked marijuana decades ago. 'My dear departed grandmothers ... as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics,' Professor Donald Harris said. 'Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we...
