During the debate, Harris was nowhere near as focused or effective after her own record as CA AG was challenged by Gabbard. In the closing, Harris slightly stumbled with her stump speech lines about "taking on" various groups, saying instead that she had "preyed on" them. When I heard that in real-time, I was distracted by wondering "what did she say?" Towards the end, her voice seemed excessively stressed. Overall, nowhere near her best performance.

4. I thought the same

I think Biden was prepared for attacks this time. Kamala was not. It was obvious she got pissed, and it threw her game off.

5. Gabbard came at her with a host of rw-promoted bs

...which is intended by the right to splinter the left, splinter any black support Kamala might get.

She got caught lying...

Politifact:

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii on Sen. Kamala Harris’ time as a prosecutor: Harris "put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana."

This claim about Harris putting "over 1,500 people in jail" for pot violations is cited in a February article by the Free Beacon, a conservative online news website. The article says "at least 1,560 people were sent to state prisons for marijuana-related offenses between 2011 and 2016," when Harris was California attorney general. It says the data comes from reports from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

PolitiFact could not immediately access that data during the debate. But we do know that as attorney general, Harris would not have personally prosecuted marijuana cases. Those cases would have been handled by lower-level state attorneys.
