Tulsi Gabbard

Tulsi Gabbard is the Democratic Party representative of Hawaii's 2nd district. She is an outspoken critic of Hillary Clinton and the liberal media. Gabbard, unlike most Dem presidential candidates, is opposed to third-trimester abortion. Of Hillary Clinton, Gabbard says, "I stand against everything she represents."

Gabbard has accused fellow Democrats of risking nuclear holocaust with the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. Gabbard has avoided the impeachment frenzy which has gripped Democrat socialists and has been critical of the Democrat's anti-constitutional star chamber process.

Gabbard was interviewed for a position in the Trump administration during the Trump transition. While some nationalist conservatives see Gabbard as an ally because of her positions on foreign interventionism, she takes strongly globalist positions overall, and she has falsely accused conservative U.S. President Donald Trump of promoting "racism." She takes far-left positions on some other issues.

Gabbard announced her candidacy for the 2020 presidential election in January 2019.

Career

Gabbard is a member of the far left Congressional Progressive Caucus. She was an unelected Superdelegate to the 2016 Democratic National Convention pledged to Bernie Sanders.

She is a supporter of the authoritarian Green New Deal and Medicare for All bills and has won the coveted David Duke endorsement. Gabbard has been criticized for homophobic remarks.

Position on Abortion

Although Tulsi Gabbard claims she's opposed to third-trimester abortion, her actual Congressional abortion voting records tell a different story. Tulsi Gabbard claims she “personally” doesn’t support abortion, and now late-term abortion. However, she goes on to say a woman has the right to choose, and no government may stop them. Then as a U.S. House Representative of Congress, she’s passed many abortion laws, blocked laws designed to protect children,, including pain capable and born alive initiatives, hasn’t overturned any of her existing laws in spite of her claimed lack of support for them, and year-after-year funded Planned Parenthood, providing facilities and doctors to mass murder babies. However, Tulsi appears to be lying to fool voters and uniformed religionists who blindly support her campaign, believing she doesn’t support abortion, without investigating to see if it's actually true? What’s significant here is that Tulsi Gabbard is a lawmaker, and not just an individual with a personal opinion. What she's attempting to do here is simply say she doesn't support something she's already passed laws to execute, and has no intention to ever overturn, in a likely attempt to attract campaign financing from uninformed voters. Tulsi Gabbard passed the laws ordering the execution of hundreds of thousands of American babies, while promising to "protect all Americans from harm". Many shameless ISKCON/Hare Krishna leaders and members are currently promoting her to their congregation and to the public as a lifelong Vaishnava saint and avatar, despite their scriptures and teachings being decidedly pro-life and in opposition to Tulsi Gabbard's actions. After fooling the Hare Krishna religion and the Indian community that supports them, she's now moved on to the Catholic Church, whose congregation is being told Tulsi Gabbard supports a ban on late-term abortion as well. Careful tracking of Tulsi's campaign however, shows one set of messages delivered to conservative voters and different messages for her Democrat Party constituents, which is consistent with the Democrat Party platform on this issue. In the first Democrat Party debate, Tulsi admitted that she's pro-choice and supports abortion.

After the Democratic party First Debate Google search trends indicated Tulsi Gabbard was the candidate voters wanted to learn more about. A Drudge Report online poll had Gabbard with 42% of 74,736 total votes cast. Her closest rival, Elizabeth Warren, had only 12%. Other online surveys from the Washington Examiner, NJ.com and Heavy all point towards similar results with Gabbard winning almost every early online poll. Each poll shows her averaging between 30% – 40% of the total vote. Washington Examiner has her coming on top with 39.22% of the vote, NJ.com shows Gabbard with 34.67% and the Heavy has her at 32.24%. Fake news cable networks however ignored her. Julián Castro was declared the "breakout star" of the night by both MSNBC's Kasie Hunt and the bigoted New York Times.

After being shunted to the back of the bus by the Democratic National Committee, Tulsi - a woman of color - made the Fourth pre-Primary Debate stage.

Gabbard said in an interview, just before Harvard professor Lawrence Lessig hosted her at a well-attended “Democracy Town Hall” in New Hampshire, "People who have supported Bernie Sanders in the past are coming to my campaign now."

Google's election meddling

Gabbard is suing Google for $50 million for censorship of her campaign ads. Google blocked her ads account shortly after the first Democrat presidential debate, when Gabbard became the most-searched-for candidate in the Democrat field.

Gabbard's complaint accuses Google of censoring the candidate at the very moment when millions of Americans wanted to learn more about her. It also accuses Google of sending Gabbard's campaign emails to people's Gmail spam folders at a “disproportionately high rate.” The campaign seeks a legal injunction against Google to prevent further election meddling, as well as $50 million in damages. According to Gabbard's legal complaint against Google:

At the height of Gabbard’s popularity among Internet searchers in the immediate hours after the debate ended, and in the thick of the critical post-debate period (when television viewers, radio listeners, newspaper read-ers, and millions of other Americans are discussing and searching for presidential candidates), Google suspended Tulsi’s Google Ads account without warning.

For hours, as millions of Americans searched Google for information about Tulsi, and as Tulsi was trying, through Google, to speak to them, her Google Ads account was arbitrarily and forcibly taken offline. Throughout this period, the Campaign worked frantically to gather more information about the suspension; to get through to someone at Google who could get the Account back online; and to understand and remedy the restraint that had been placed on Tulsi’s speech—at precisely the moment when everyone wanted to hear from her.

The legal complaint argues that Google could have a nefarious impact on American democracy if its behavior is allowed to continue unchecked. This is the viewpoint of Dr. Robert Epstein, who says the Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe will “go all out” to influence the 2020 election.

In a series of Tweets, the Hawaii Democrat said Google's actions “reveals the danger of their dominance & how the dominance of big tech over public discourse threatens core American values.”

After Hillary's Clinton's xenophobic smear, Steven Crowder demonstrated during his radio program how Google was actively suppressing Tulsi Gabbard search results in the United States.

Clinton election meddling

Hillary Clinton rebooted her Vast Russian Conspiracy trying to make herself relevant again after the demise of Joe Biden in the Ukrainian corruption scandal.

Hillary Clinton slandered Gabbard with a xenophobic smear, calling Gabbard "a Russian asset." CNN's Van Jones came to Gabbard's defense, and pointed out how it was Hillary Clinton spreading disinformation to divide Americans, fulfilling Putin's aims. Jones noted,

“Tulsi Gabbard was picked out by the Democratic Party and put at the top of the DNC. They thought she was going to be their golden girl, and she got that position in the DNC and she looked around and saw Debbie Wasserman Schultz and other people, Clinton allies, doing stuff they shouldn’t have been doing in the primary. And Tulsi publicly quit and endorsed Bernie Sanders, and it’s been payback hell ever since.”

Gabbard resigned from her post as vice-chair of the Democrat National Committee in February 2016 to both express her displeasure with how the committee was trying to rig the Democrat primary in Clinton's favor and to support then-Democrat candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders’ candidacy. In response, DNC officials sent her an email — one later outed by WikiLeaks — blasting her for disrespecting Clinton.

“Hillary Clinton will be our party’s nominee and you standing on ceremony to support the sinking Bernie Sanders ship is disrespectful to Hillary Clinton.”

The email was reportedly forwarded to Clinton with the subject line “Hamme[r] dropped!”

Gabbard responded with a viral video that garnered over 2 million hits in less than 24 hours. Gabbard noted,

"Hillary & her gang of rich, powerful elite are going after me to send a msg to YOU: “Shut up, toe the line, or be destroyed.” But we, the people, will NOT be silenced. Join me in taking our Democratic Party back & leading a govt of, by & for the people!"

Gabbard's poll numbers in for the Iowa caucuses began moving up.

Foreign policy

Gabbard was one of 50 Democrats who signed a letter authored by California communist Barbara Lee calling on President Obama not to escalate the Syrian war after Obama provided covert assistance to the Islamic State.

On MSNBC's Morning Joe, Gabbard had this exchange with reporter Kasi Hunt:

Hunt: Do you think Assad is our enemy?
Gabbard: Assad is not the enemy of the United States because Syria does not pose a direct threat to the United States.
Hunt: What do you say to Democratic voters who watched you go over there, and what do you say to military members who have been deployed repeatedly in Syria pushing back against Assad?
Gabbard: People who have been deployed to Syria have been there focused on their mission, which has been to defeat ISIS. Our troops have not gone to Syria to wage yet another costly, destructive regime change war.

Gabbard has highlighted her noninterventionist America First foreign policy. Gabbard said, "When it comes to the war against terrorists, I'm a hawk. When it comes to counterproductive wars of regime change, I'm a dove."

Gabbard has said, “So long as this foreign policy establishment retains its power and the status quo is continued, we will never have the resources we need to serve those urgent needs of people here at home."

Gabbard is one of the few members of Congress (along with Rand Paul) to have publicly challenged the de facto alliance between the United States and Saudi Arabia, and is noted for her use of strong language to describe the relationship.

Military career

Gabbard is a military police officer with the Hawaii Army National Guard holding the rank of Major, and has served tours of duty in Iraq, and trained with the Indonesian army.
