While Tulsi is interviewed by Fox News' Tucker Carlson, Ms. Dolores Huerta, Labor Leader & Civil Rights activist, explained to Democracy Now why she's endorsing Kamala Harris:

*Because* of her DA & AG record and her support of Union Workers. #Kamala2020

1. recommended to publicize

2. Kamala will make a fantastic AG

Jay Insley belongs in the EPA.

Whoever wins the nomination will have a lot of really good people to tap for rebuilding the damage the GOP has caused.

3. Did her attack on Harris improve Tulsi's polling numbers?

It's not surprising that Tucker Carlson showcased the controversial attack.

The fact checkers are still trying to source Gabbard's claims, but here's some preliminary information.

There’s some context missing in this claim, and it’s framed in a misleading way.

It’s correct that Harris has laughed about using marijuana, but Gabbard’s claim makes it seem like she laughed about people being locked up for pot crimes. We didn’t find any evidence to support that.

Gabbard’s campaign said it was too busy to cite where the information came from.

The senator’s campaign spokesperson told The Washington Post after the debate that Harris was not directly involved in the decision to deny Cooper’s petition in 2016.

9. "Gabbard's campaign said it was too busy to cite where the information came from."

Personal reaction: 50% "sporfle!", 50% "uggggggh."

I hope by "busy" they meant they were busy updating and sending out their resumes.

10. We're too busy to support these explosive allegations with facts.

smh

4. This is a really solid endorsement.

No one can deny Dolores Huerta's history, she was in many ways more the backbone of the Farm Labor Movement that Cesar Chavez.
