Gabbard in March: "Mueller reported Trump did not collude with Russia..."

[DesertRat]

Any wonder why right wingers (and maybe Russia) supports her candidacy?

@TulsiGabbard
Mueller reported Trump did not collude with Russia to influence our elections. Now we must put aside partisan interests, move forward, and work to unite our country to deal with the serious challenges we face.

1. Tulsi Gabbard Refuses to Say if Assad is a 'Murderer'

When Confronted With Kamala Harris Critique...

“When Gabbard got her own interview with Anderson Cooper, she defended her on-stage comments by saying “people like Kamala Harris need to be held accountable for their record.” The CNN host noted Harris’ counterattack during the interview, to which, Gabbard said “I think It’s unfortunate and a disservice to voters in this country that she resorts to cheap smears rather than actually addressing her record, the issues that I have raised.”

“I have seen the cost of war firsthand,” Gabbard continued. “I will never apologize for doing all I can to prevent more of my brothers and sisters from being sent into harm’s way to fight counter-productive regime-change wars that make our country less safe and take lives and cost taxpayers trillions more dollars. So if that means meeting with a dictator or meeting with an adversary, absolutely I would do it.”

“Do you consider him a torturer and murder?” Cooper asked next.

“That’s not what this is about,” Gabbard said. “I don’t defend or apologize or have anything to do with what he has done to his own people.”

12. Misleading cut before the conclusion of that section of the interview.

Video below, it's at the 8 minute mark..

Cooper: "Just on a factual basis, Bashar al-Assad is a murderer and a torturer, do you not agree with that?"

Gabbard: "I don't dispute that."

That said, I find the OP here more troubling.

[Me.]

13. AFter Being Pushed To Say It, She Finally Does

and my cut of the first and most troubling response stands. I don't find the OP troubling in the least. I find her troubling and certainly hope she doesn't get the nom, though I doubt she will.

2. Hoping her 15 minutes are up

I really do not like her.

[ancianita]

3. I don't TRUST her. Being a vet doesn't make up for the rest of her record or stage presence.

[real Cannabis calm]

19. In the interest of unity, I refuse to criticize ANY Democratic candidate:

So, simply read between the lines to discover my opinion on Gabbard.

4. Deal Breaker

5. Yep, she said that in March, after NBC News said this about her in February

The Russian propaganda machine that tried to influence the 2016 U.S. election is now promoting the presidential aspirations of a controversial Hawaii Democrat who earlier this month declared her intention to run for president in 2020.

6. If she really believes that then she should be disqualified

Robert Mueller did not make that statement. She has put her own spin on his report but it is not accurate.

Regardless, she displays a concerning lack of gravitas and lacks serious governmental experience to think that she has the chops to be president. If there are any lessons to be learned from the Trump presidency, and I think there are many, one has to be that the U.S. needs a highly intelligent and executive-experienced president. No more amateurs!

7. Is this the type of person Democratic voters in her district want representing them in DC?

If not, fix it during the primary. It is the only time you can.

[SunsetDreams2]

8. "Americans need to see the report" and THEN

Just like Barr purposefully misleads the American People as to what that report says.

We see you Tulsi

21. seems like a lot of people are falling for it too

It boggles the mind.

[NurseJackie]

9. The days remaining in her campaign are numbered. Today...

The days remaining in her campaign are numbered. Today there is one FEWER day than yesterday.

She has ZERO chance of being our party's nominee. She has ZERO chance of being selected as a running mate to fill the VP slot. Her chances of being selected to fill a cabinet position or an ambassadorship aren't much better.

[SouthernProgressive]

10. Isn't she polling at one percent.

Seems to be a huge uptick in punching down this morning.

[bigtree]

11. this kind of stuff is why Trump considered her for a cabinet post

...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. Not joking when I say I'd rather vote for Starbucks dude than her.

And this is in no way, shape or form an endorsement of Starbucks dude.

[BannonsLiver]

17. She is the only candidate in this race

Where I think in a general election I'd have my wife fill out my ballot and return it so I wouldn't have to.

Thankfully she has no chance to be the nominee.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. Agreed.

If she's still in during the general election, it will be part of a Jill Stein-esqe disruption campaign.

Unlike Republicans, Democrats as a whole are not stupid enough to fall for a Trojan candidate.

[Duppers]

16. Whoa.

She was never even close to being my choice but I attempted to question attacks on her. No more. She's not worth defending in any way.
