Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Tulsi Gabbard is NOT anti-war. She is nationalist, hiding behind
a mask of anti-interventionism.
https://arcdigital.media/tulsi-gabbard-is-not-anti-war-660e7d1e4ce1
In one of her first acts as a congresswoman, Gabbard broke with the Democratic Party to support a GOP funding bill because, as she explained at the time, it provides important funds for our men and women serving overseas [and] our military-related jobs in Hawaii.
She has stated on numerous occasions that she supports expanding the use of drone strikes against military opponents, and, in 2014, refused to rule out the idea of using torture on suspected terrorists. Gabbard also spoke out vehemently against the Iran nuclear deal when it was first proposed by President Obama.
Her hawkish foreign policy stance has earned praise from Republicans and placed her in the company of neoconservative figures like Dick Cheney and and Bill Kristol. The associations arent by happenstanceshes been invited to events held by right-wing think tanks like the American Enterprise Institute and frequently appears on right-wing news networks like Fox News.
In a 2016 interview, Gabbard told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald that when it comes to the war against terrorists, Im a hawk.

That's not going to go over well with the posters who were criticizing Obama for continuing the drone program after Omar's recent remarks. I wonder if they're similarly take issue with Gabbard's position.
