Former Dem Accuses Kamala Harris of Taking 'Acting Lessons' From Hollywood Elites

Vice President Kamala Harris’s facial expressions spoke more than she did during Tuesday night’s presidential debate, with critics saying Hollywood elites coached her.

Former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (HI) accused Harris of having Hollywood in her back pocket and teaching the vice president how to “act her way through this election.”

“That’s why she has locked herself in a hotel room, taking extreme acting lessons,” Gabbard said, adding that Harris is “trained like an actress” so she can “win” the election.

During the debate, Harris used a variety of amplified facial expressions, revealing a condescending reaction whenever former President Donald Trump spoke.

Sky News Australia mocked Harris for her arrogant and smug reactions while the obviously biased moderators were barking at Trump.

“She’s got Hollywood advisers, stages, the Hollywood lights in the hopes that her friends in ABC and propaganda media declare her the winner,” Gabbard, who recently endorsed Trump and is an advisor to his campaign, continued. “And that may be enough to trick the voters to vote for her. But I don’t think American people are going to fall for this.”

Since officially becoming the Democratic nominee, many Hollywood elites endorsed Harris, including singer Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo, who are highly influential toward younger generations. Others are actor George Clooney, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Robert DeNiro, and Barbra Streisand.

Hollywood is a crucial Democratic financial pillar followed by other wealthy donors. Many Democrat candidates rely heavily on Hollywood’s support in their respective White House bids.

According to Open Secrets, the entertainment industry gave $104 million to Democrats compared to $13 million to Republicans during the 2020 presidential cycle. Celebrities have become a significant source of money for Democrats in recent years, and they believe Hollywood's liberal stars can deliver votes.
