Has Tulsi Gabbard spoken up to defend Vindman?

If she has, I can't find anything.

If she hasn't, why hasn't she? She certainly willingly accepted the defense and protection of people who thought her status as a veteran afforded her some special immunity from criticism.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Gabbard is the only one who needs to prove it, because she has come out against the inquiry, before pretending to be for it, and lately has gone on Hannity to talk about how Democrats are not being transparent.

Given how her service was invoked as a defense against criticism so vociferously in just the past couple of weeks, one would think she'd step forward and defend a fellow veteran if she thought he was being unfairly attacked - especially since many of the attacks are coming from the same people who defended her so lustily.

Her biggest appeal and defense, has seemed to be her veteran status and loyalty to country. For her not to come out swinging for a fellow service person is horrible optics, but one that will appeal to the 'parties are both the same', crowd.

Love your posts and especially your insight on House procedure. Thanks much.
