Ex-DNC official says she was warned against breaking from Clinton

Tulsi Gabbard, the Hawaii Democrat who resigned a leadership post with the Democratic National Committee in order to endorse White House hopeful Bernie Sanders, admitted she was warned against breaking from front-runner Hillary Clinton.

"I'll be very honest with you, a lot of people warned me against doing what I did," the lawmaker told MSNBC on Tuesday night.

She doesn't say what she was warned about, however. I hope she opens up more as we move forward.

have felt the same intimidation. I'll bet Elizabeth Warren received at minimum some very heavy hints.

A Hillary supporter put up an OP a few days ago saying Warren was being harassed by Bernie supporters. It sounded phony to me. So now we have proof they are accusing us of what they do.

What an uphill battle this is for Bernie.

here it goes,our President is a Centrist at best. Suspected this from the get go when Biden was paired with him. When one looks at his so called advisers past and present,one sees the old DLC in play. Under stand Bernie's frustration with the White House and how anything Progressive never sees the light of day.

Tulsi is a very brave, wise & honorable woman who I greatly admire.
What a breath of fresh air she is.

She would be an excellent replacement for DWS, once Bernie wins the
nomination.
