My youtube home page is boosting Tulsi, gunning for Kamala

Is anyone else noticing the same thing? I am fully aware that I, being a Kamala supporter, am possibly being targeted for these anti-Kamala videos. And the only other political videos are pro-Tulsi. What the %^R*$ is going on?

Step One: support someone down the list as to polling, doesnt matter who

Step Two: once that person is no longer running, support the least likely candidate to win so as to pull support from the leader

Step Three: support NOBODY with a D after their name and refuse to say "vote blue no matter who"

Thanks for showing my reply to the OP. I stand by it.

Anderson Cooper himself verified Gabbard's claims in his post-second debate interview with Gabbard by saying: ""Clearly, you, um, eh, you, your team had done your research and had facts down."" Then he brings up what Harris said when he asked Harris about Tulsi's claims.

Good interview! It must have been so very enlightening to all the Democratic voters who must have watched it live and those who saw it replayed on CNN's Youtube channel and those who saw it the next day on the Anderson Cooper show.

That is not accurate. Anyone can overlay text on a screenshot and present it as fact.

At 2:40, Anderson Cooper says to Tulsi Gabbard, "Clearly, you, um, you, your team had done your research and had facts down."

and hear his exact words, compare it to the closed captions, and compare that to the inaccurate renderings that someone earlier took the liberty of posting as direct quotes.

They can listen over, and over, and over, and they will never hear Anderson Cooper verify Tulsi's tale.

Repeat: At 2:40, Cooper says:"Clearly, you, um, you, your team had done your research and had facts down." Not 2:48, as you erroneously claimed, lapucelle.

Unless one's hearing is being filtered through a hyperpartisan lens, that would be generally considered an affirmation of Gabbard's claims by Anderson Cooper. His entire matter-of-fact demeanor contributes to this impression.

What really matters is what the audience heard from watching the interview both live and on CNN clips afterwards. I am sure they can make decisions for themselves.



Gabbard has yet to be proven wrong.

CNN asked Harris about it on August 1, showed her a videoclip and she still did not refute Gabbard's claims.

What does that tell you? It tells me that Harris has a lot of explaining to do.

And the liberties taken with quotes is finally straightened out and corrected by the person who insisted on misquoting.

But the fact remains that Cooper does not verify the claims.


"Your team had done your research and had facts down"

is neither a verification of the facts nor an acceptance of the claims in Tulsi's telling of the tale.
