Van Jones, a CNN commentator, said he was surprised by the Gabbard-Harris exchange because it was a rare moment of vulnerability for Harris, who won wide praise following the Democratic debates held last month.
“I didn’t think anybody could survive laying a glove on Kamala Harris,” Jones said in post-debate analysis.
“That says there’s some steel in Tulsi Gabbard,” he added.
In her post-debate interview, Harris also accused Gabbard of being an apologist for Syrian dictator Bashar Assad. Gabbard met with Assad in Syria in 2017 and has largely avoided criticizing the Syrian leader for chemical weapons attacks on his citizens.
“But, you know, listen, I think that this coming from someone who has been an apologist for an individual, Assad, who has murdered the people of his, you know, of his country like cockroaches. She who has embraced and been an apologist for him in a way that she refuses to call him a war criminal,” said Harris.
“I can only take what she says and her opinion so seriously.”
In an interview of he own with Cooper, Gabbard said that “I do not dispute that” when asked whether Assad is a murderer and torturer.
Ian Sams, the Harris campaign’s communications director, echoed his candidate’s remarks on Twitter. During the debate, he accused Gabbard of being an Assad apologist and of lying about Harris’ record.

In one tweet, he directed journalists to an NBC News report earlier this year that claimed that Gabbard was the favored Democratic candidate of Russian bots.
Reporters writing their stories with eyes on the modern-day assignment desk of Twitter, read this:
“The Russian propaganda machine that tried to influence the 2016 election is now promoting the presidential aspirations of a controversial Hawaii Democrat”https://t.co/2kpKQqW3IrI stand firm to what I posted. You don't like it? - tough titties.
