Just published on The Hill ** Gabbard hits Harris for 'false accusation that Joe Biden is a racist' [View all]

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) said fellow 2020 Democratic candidate Sen. Kamala Harris's (D-Calif.) attack on former Vice President Joe Biden's voting record on busing amounted to a "false accusation" that Biden is "a racist."

Gabbard's comments come as questions have been raised over whether Harris's position on federally mandated busing is different from that of Biden, whom Harris called out in the first round of primary debates.

"But let's get real. It wasn't a 'whole thing' — it was a false accusation that Joe Biden is a racist," Gabbard tweeted Monday, in response to a tweet from David Axelrod pointing out the apparent contradiction in Harris's position on busing. Shortly after the debates, Harris in Iowa said she believed busing was a local, as opposed to a federally mandated, decision.
