She reluctantly supports impeachment. This makes her one of the last to sign on, Cha.

came around for one reason because of this tweet from the Honolulu Livestream News.. hard to ignore when your hometown news is basically helping your opponent in your Congressional Race for 2020!

According to Gabbard's previous statement.. it's now ok if "..it's terribly divisive for the country.."

That would defiantly help to change her mind. Not exactly doing for the right reasons, now is she.

Too little, too late. When someone tell you who they are the first time, believe them.

for the October presidential debate, she would have stood out as the only Democratic presidential candidate in the race who still didn't support impeachment. "I think Tulsi Gabbard has to recognize, and I think she does. that her own political future might be at stake. Remember the debates are coming up, the fourth round for Democrats later this month and it would look really weird for only her to stand out as being opposed to starting this inquiry," Blair says.

From KITV4 Island News

Which is worse, taking a position on impeachment to stand out or taking a position not to stand out?
