[TexasTowelie]

IOWA (HawaiiNewsNow) - Presidential hopeful Tulsi Gabbard will be temporarily stepping away from the campaign trail for military training.

Gabbard, a major in the Hawaii Army National Guard, told ABC News that she’ll be in Indonesia for two weeks.

"We've got a strong people-powered campaign, and so we're working on making sure that our folks are out and they're continuing to go to the fairs and the town halls and sharing our message as I will be stepping away from the campaign for two weeks to fulfill my duty to the Army National Guard," she told ABC News.

Before she heads off for training, she’ll be making a stop at the Iowa State Fair, which begins on Thursday. She’s expected to appear on Friday.

[Devil Child]

1. Who can read this and still call Rep. Gabbard disloyal to our nation?

To hell with the innuendo and baseless accusations.

[democratisphere]

3. Agreed. Rep. Gabbard serves her country much more than most.

Must give credit and acknowledgment where it is due.

19. More than most? I disagree.

Many people serve our country in many different ways that require courage and skill on a daily basis.

5. This

[Tarheel_Dem]

6. +10000.

[jcgoldie]

7. Nice

[Devil Child]

9. Mike Flynn pleaded guilty after investigation for crystal clear reasons

Apples to oranges. Until Rep. Gabbard is in the same boat(which won't happen) then there is nothing but baseless accusations propagated mainly by the Harris camp.

If you got info to the contrary regarding allegations of treasonous acts please let these folks know

15. Ouch.

True.

[MrsCoffee]

16. Thank you.

18. Serving in the military doesn't get my automatic support.

I don't like Gabbard's policy statements and I don't like her long history of extreme homophobia. I'm strongly opposed to her candidacy.

I'm sure that she's a competent member of the military. So are many others. It doesn't make them qualified to be president.

2. nice to see she is keeping busy nt

8. Could be a foreshadowing of a permanent suspension of her campaign.

[JI7]

12. unlikely, she is in it for a reason which has nothing to do with actually winning the nomination

[ucrdem]

14. All this because of the Assad trip?

You know there are a lot of people who don't buy the official line on Assad don't you?

[brush]

17. Ok, you can't jus leave that there. You have to flesh that out.

I've thought myself along those lines.

[ucrdem]

11. She'll be back in time for the next debate.

And she's on her way to qualifying. She's met the donor requirement and she's picked up a few points in recent polls.
