Neo-Nazi Website Took Credit for Tulsi Gabbard

Jewish Insider: “A neo-Nazi website took credit for Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s (D-HI) qualification for the first two Democratic primary debates. The Daily Stormer, a notorious white supremacist and antisemitic website, proclaimed in April ‘we did it” — after the Hawaii congresswoman reached the 65,000 donor threshold needed to participate in the first two debates.”

“The Gabbard campaign did not respond to repeated requests for comment.”

Not sure why neo-Nazis have a hard-on for Tulsi given she is Samoan-American and Hindu. Princetonian Aug 2019 #4

public endorsement. But not donations from the KKK and neo-Nazi and other RW extremist groups that fall below the $200 reporting requirement that would blow this wide open. If only they would stay QUIET about it!

Their donations have also helped qualify, or essentially qualified, her for the third set of debates, but getting 2% on each of 4 qualifying polls is the kicker. For that, assistance from Russian intelligence services could be needed.

But Gabbard is the first Samoan and Hindu member of Congress and "served in a field medical unit of the Hawaii Army National Guard in a combat zone in Iraq from 2004 to 2005 and was deployed to Kuwait from 2008 to 2009. She served in the Hawaii House of Representatives from 2002 to 2004. When she was elected to the Hawaii House of Representatives at age 21, Gabbard was the youngest woman to be elected to a U.S. state legislature.

Gabbard was a Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee from 2013 to 2016... Gabbard opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership and... supports abortion rights, Medicare for All, and same-sex marriage."

Sounds like a Democrat to me.
