Tulsi Gabbard's biggest donor is a conspiracy-theorist who supports RW terrorism.

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/05/tulsi-gabbards-biggest-online-fundraiser-believes-pizzagate-is-real-and-the-las-vegas-shooting-was-a-false-flag-report/

Among House’s beliefs are that Pizzagate is real, that murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich was behind the leak of emails to WikiLeaks instead of Russia, that Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad is innocent of gassing civilians, that Bill Cosby was framed for rape, that the CIA staged the Las Vegas shooting to protect Harvey Weinstein from allegations of sexual assault, that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are both U.S. intelligence assets, and that Chester Bennington, the lead singer of Linkin Park who took his own life last year, could be the “bastard child” of former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

Perhaps most disturbing of all, House has expressed sympathy for Cesar Sayoc, the Florida Trump supporter who is accused of mailing a series of pipe bombs to prominent Democratic politicians and donors. “I can’t say if I would be upset if they got hurt,” said House of Sayoc’s would-be victims. “I would be like, ‘Yo, you shouldn’t be sending bombs to people’s houses because of collateral damage and other people could get hurt.’ But I don’t feel bad for you getting a bomb sent to your house. I refuse to trick myself into being sympathetic toward warmongering sociopaths, and that includes George Soros, possibly more than any of them.”

The Gabbard campaign has thus far declined comment.

--why we should trust Tulsi Gabbard, whose own constituents no longer support her in Hawaii, who spent the majority of her time in Congress deriding Obama--when she wasn't making excuses for Assad's genocidal acts or Putin's interests? All well documented--not an attack on my part towards her or any other candidate. These are merely factual details that she needs to address and justify.

The question is who exactly was she representing? Her constituency? Congress? The Democratic Party?

Who is advising her and who is paying the bills?

A couple of weeks ago they did this informal poll on Thom Hartmann. The number one pick was her. The calls sounded different than the usual Hartmann callers.

Tulsi needs to stay put in the house representing Hawaii.

She and especially her several weird policy positions have long bothered me. No surprise to me that she would attract the support of people like this.

Gabbard has been off the rails for quite a while, from her current support of Assad back to her days opposing civil unions and "homosexual extremists."

No
Thank
You!
