RUSH: We\u2019re gonna be having a little bit more exploration today on Tulsi Gabbard versus Kamala Harris. But just a little teaser here. The state of California has begun to hide the official record of Kamala Harris as attorney general<\/a> so people cannot go look it up and find out that Tulsi Gabbard is right.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, folks, these are people that have been turning over every stone and rock looking for mythical information that Trump cheated with Russia. Now the same people demanding all of this transparency are hiding and covering up the official record of Kamala Harris because, despite what you\u2019re hearing, you may think that Plugs is the frontrunner, but he\u2019s not. Kamala Harris is actually, in a lot of polls, the frontrunner. And some of this is due to the fact that they went after Plugs in the debate, particularly on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Fact-checking Kamala Harris, San Francisco Chronicle<\/a>. Tulsi Gabbard says she put 1,500 people in prison for marijuana offenses, and that\u2019s wrong. It was closer to 2,000 Tulsi Gabbard undersold how bad Kamala Harris has been acting.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tulsi Gabbard has been making the rounds. She was even on Fox last night. She was on Tucker Carlson with Chatsworth Osborne Jr. before I appeared on Hannity, and the reason is the Democrats are going after her. She had the audacity to go after the Democrat frontrunner, Kamala Harris, and it was not pretty out there. “Appearing Thursday on The Hill\u2019s Rising,” this is a podcast, I think, TheHill.com does, “Tulsi Gabbard … slammed … Kamala Harris for accusing her of being close to the regime of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and mocking her low polling numbers, calling the attacks ‘pathetic\u2019 and ‘cheap.'”<\/p>\n

Tulsi Gabbard said, “Honestly, it\u2019s pathetic that when confronted with the facts and the truth about her record that she claims to be proud of, as a prosecutor and as attorney general of California, all she can do is lob cheap smears” at me. “The American people deserve better than this, especially when her whole campaign is predicated on being a champion for the people, being a champion for black and brown people in this country, who have been on the brunt end of racial injustice” that she has handed out.<\/p>\n

By the way, Ms. Gabbard herself is one-fourth Samoan. Did you know that? Not that it matters to anybody here! I\u2019m just… This kind of stuff matters to the Democrats. And then she went to PMSNBC. “Tulsi Gabbard took on anchor Yasmin Vossoughian over her meeting with Bashar Assad.” See, what\u2019s happened here is that Tulsi Gabbard literal fileted Kamala Harris, and Kamala Harris was not ready for it, because no Democrat is ready for it.<\/p>\n

The Democrats have no experience at being ripped to shreds on their record.<\/p>\n

The media does not do it. The Democrats — and it matters, folks. It\u2019s like anything else. You\u2019ve got to be able to deal with adversity, you\u2019ve got to undergo training for it — and this is one thing the Democrats never do. They don\u2019t know what serious media criticism is. They don\u2019t know what lying, stinking media criticism is. So out of the blue, Tulsi Gabbard — who\u2019s not even rating an asterisk — comes out and totally exposes the fraud that is the attorney general record of Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

So now the party and the media has focused all of their fire on Tulsi Gabbard! Now, I know I\u2019ve mentioned this before, but to me this is just hilarious as it can be. I\u2019ll tell you where I first saw it was right here on this program yesterday. It was during the 2 o\u2019clock hour. We had a commercial break, top-of-the-hour news break, and I\u2019m watching CNN. There\u2019s A.B. Stoddard, who can fit to be tied. She\u2019s a media journalist, analyst and so forth. She appears on all the networks. I guess she doesn\u2019t have an exclusive contract. She just circulates among \u2019em all.<\/p>\n

She was going after Tulsi Gabbard like I haven\u2019t seen! She was going after her for being a Russian agent, that all of the support that she\u2019s getting on Twitter is Russian bots. I mean, it was vicious! (summarized) “Tulsi Gabbard is nothing more than a Russian plant! Tulsi Gabbard is being set up to be a third-party, independent candidate by the Russians who are still in cahoots with Trump to steal another election.” This is what the Drive-Bys were saying yesterday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>All because Tulsi Gabbard happened to act a normal candidate rather than to know her place. Tulsi Gabbard also says that Kamala Harris is accusing her of being “a traitor the country that I put my life on the line to serve.” Then there\u2019s this story. This is from the Washington Free Beacon. The headline: “California Removes Arrest Reports from Kamala Years.”<\/a> Now, keep something in mind here: The Democrats, the left is obsessed with Donald Trump\u2019s tax returns from his private sector days, right?<\/p>\n

The left wants the records of anything to do with Donald Trump, the Trump Organization, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Maryanne Trump, you take your pick. They want everything they can get from Trump\u2019s private sector days. They have half of the state of New York, including the Manhattan DA, looking to find anything they can of Trump\u2019s personal financial records so that they can release them. They are passing special laws to obtain them. California passes a law — which is unconstitutional and will not survive — saying that no candidate can appear on the presidential ballot in California who has not released his tax returns.<\/p>\n

California doesn\u2019t get to decide that. The Constitution decides qualifications for president. So this is gonna get thrown out, but they\u2019re making a political statement. But now in that same state of California, the deep state in California is trying to hide the public work — the public work, not private, the public work — of Kamala Harris while she was AG. And don\u2019t hold your breath waiting for the Drive-Bys to make this the big story it ought to be.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t expect it, \u2019cause she\u2019s the frontrunner! She\u2019s the latest Trump slayer. So the Drive-Bys are not gonna make a big deal out of this. If I hadn\u2019t told you, some of you may not ever know that this is happening. “The changes matter in part because the reports contain information about Harris\u2019s entire time as state [attorney general], 2011 to 2017. Harris has taken fire from multiple opponents for her ‘tough on crime\u2019 record as California\u2019s top cop, an image that she has tried to shed as a far-left senator and presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

“One particularly brutal attack came Wednesday night when Rep. Tulsi Gabbard … found that [almost 2,000] Californians were sent to prison for marijuana-related offenses while Harris was attorney general,” and there are photos of her smoking marijuana and laughing about it. She has kept people on death row despite their not supposed to be there .It\u2019s kind of crazy.<\/p>\n

She has been a really, really tough-on-minorities, a law-and-order AG. But she\u2019s passing herself off as some Freedom Rider for African-Americans and other minorities. It\u2019s one of the great lies of this campaign. She\u2019s passing herself off as one of the great civil rights advocates of our time, when she actually has spend more time keeping minorities in jail than any Republican AG you can find. So Tulsi Gabbard calls her out on it, and now California has removed arrest reports.<\/p>\n

“A redesign of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation website will make it harder for voters to [find] Kamala Harris\u2019s controversial record as the state\u2019s” attorney general. The pre-2019 reports have been removed. Can you imagine if this story were something else? (interruption) Whoa, whoa, whoa! (interruption) Snerdley asks, “How…? When did locking up criminals become anti-civil rights!” (Snort!) You\u2019re forgetting the context. Leftists want prisoners released as evidence of civil rights. Civil rights is the guilty being let go.<\/p>\n

Civil rights is the guilty being exonerated. Civil rights is the guilty being found not guilty. That\u2019s in the modern-day makeup of the Democrat Party. That\u2019s how you define civil rights. If they\u2019re a minority, they didn\u2019t do it because they\u2019re disadvantaged and they were forced into it, they had no other hope. They had to do it, but that means they didn\u2019t do it, and they did it because of Republican racism, and so that means they didn\u2019t really do it so we\u2019re gonna let \u2019em out of prison.<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t let \u2019em out of prison. She\u2019s flying in the face of the way the Democrats are trying to redefine civil rights. And in California — anyway, Gabbard calls her out on all this, and all hell has broken loose. Now they\u2019re hiding the records.<\/p>\n
