Gabbard agrees with Tucker Carlson that Hillary Clinton is a neocon: 'You're not imagining'

[RandySF]

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), a 2020 White House hopeful, agreed with Fox News host Tucker Carlson's description of former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton late Wednesday as a "neocon."

"So, whatever you think of Hillary, and ... I think she's capable in certain ways. I'm not — don't think everything is about her is bad, but kind of a full-blown neocon, no? Or am I imagining that?" Carlson asked Gabbard during an appearance on his show.

"No, you're not imagining," Gabbard responded. "I think everybody knows and understands that she is a warmonger.

"And it is her record," Gabbard added, "that is proof of that."

The discussion came after Iran this week struck Iraqi military bases housing U.S. military personnel in retaliation for a U.S. drone strike that killed a top Iranian general. After the attacks, the Twitter hashtag "ivotedforHillaryClinton" trended on Twitter.

Carlson argued that the former senator would be more likely to go to war with Iran based on her past remarks, and played a clip of a 2008 interview with ABC in which Clinton said, "If Iran were to launch a nuclear attack on Israel, what would our response be? I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran."

Gabbard said she agreed that the hashtag was contrary to Clinton's past comments about Iran.

"I think everyone knows and understands that she is a warmonger, and it is her record," said Gabbard, who clashed with Clinton late last year when the former secretary of State claimed the Hawaii lawmaker was a "favorite of the Russians."

1. I salute Gabbard's combat experience

and her service to the country by risking her life.

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. uh huh

[at140]

7. Basically I like and admire all no-war candidates

and people like Tulsi who have personally experienced horrors of combat are less likely to get us into unnecessary wars. People like Trump who have never even served, are at the bottom of my preference.

20. She is the product of a highly authoritarian religious group and family...

She is basically the outward face of this group. Her money gets funneled to a member who lives in the back of beyond in Washington State. She claims to be Hindu, but it is an American sect no one in India would recognize. She is registered as a Dem but based on her increasing affiliation with FOX, I'd say if she's a Democrat, I'm the Queen of Romania.

Her background has been extensively researched, and I invite you to read through the multiple threads I have gathered via DU. I will edit this post to add a link.

My contribution to a Sept 16, 2019 post:

Time to share and update my Tulsi bookmarks again. Links for those who wish to know more

In addition, there is a Hawaiian journalist who has been doing some deep digging on Tulsi's background, and one of our Hawaii DUers has posted those links.

That young lady is not all that she seems, by a long shot. She was groomed from childhood to be the public face of a very undemocratic philosophy.

Here it is, from Mahina, with many additional links

29. WOW you have done some extensive research there...

bookmarking for later reading.

[Hekate]

30. I have to give others a lot of credit; I just archived it. ...

Tulsi piqued my interest because she is from my old home state, Hawaii, but she seemed off somehow. Attractive, to be sure, bright enough, but when my husband (who is the more intuitive of us) expressed a lot of reservations about her affect, I listened.

Then DUer Mahina posted a really in-depth piece of journalistic research by a local (that is, local to Hawaii) journalist, and it was eye-popping. That's where you should start.

Because Tulsi just has not received that kind of national scrutiny -- or rather, there are scattered articles but they never rise to the public level of, say, Hillary's emails -- and because DU has always been a news-aggregator, I decided to start archiving and sharing.

Hope it helps.

22. uh huh

9. Then Gabbard Turned into This..

13. That is Tulsi's weak point

and why she will never get anywhere near nomination, because she attacks other democrats.
She used her debate exposure to attack Kamala Harris.
And she has been attacking Hillary Clinton for some time now.
I don't understand her strategy.

[RandySF]

16. That's easy

She’s angling for a spot on Fox News.

[at140]

18. Probably the only plausible reason..nt

[still_one]

27. She also is quite intolerant of Muslims

[David__77]

19. I am glad she spoke in opposition to war against Iran.

...

[sheshe2]

2. Tulsi agrees with Faux Snooze Tucker Carlson?

Hill is a neocon!!!

[at140]

8. Tucker is an libertarian isolationist much more than neocon..

Every time I see his mouth flapping, he wants all American involvement in middle-east to cease.

[Iliyah]

3. And what are they . . .

They are insecure, fearful people. Sad.

And by the way, the closer we get to the elections, the more bullshit, again, will come forth by lies, lies, lies.

Cheating and stealing is the Republican game.

[UniteFightBack]

4. I think I'm more shocked that Carlson said Hillary ain't all bad and somewhat capable. nt

[at140]

10. Carlson is the only republican I know who rarely lies

he says what he believes.

[RandySF]

17. That's why his show is called The White Power Hour

[still_one]

28. He is a racist asshole

[Hekate]

5. Tulsi "the Mole" Gabbard needs to stfu. Period.

[Cha]

12. No kidding, Hekate! Gabbard Can't Quit Hillary..

TG can't hold a gd candle to Hillary.

[CatMor]

11. Did I miss something ....

what war did Hillary start? Why are they still going on about Hillary, she's not running for anything. Gabbard is as bad as trump being obsessed with Hillary.

[Scotch-Irish]

14. Russia has been financing Tulsi Gabbard for a long time now

...and what's worse is that she's accepting the money. She's a hemorhroid on tRump's arse.

[NYMinute]

15. Gabbard needs help ... seriously nt

[betsuni]

21. Still running against Hillary on how warmongering the Hillary Clinton administration was.

Sad! They have no idea what "neoliberal" means.

[BlueMTexpat]

23. Carlson and Gabbard

are two people who deserve each other.

Neither is fit to lick Hillary's boots.

[RhodeIslandOne]

24. Hillary. Never. Said. Her. Name.

But boy, she is in Tulsi's head.

[VOX]

25. Hillary Clinton, private citizen for 3+ years, just cleared a Trump investigation...

Another investigation in a long-running saga of investigations, and again, as usual, the findings show NOTHING.

[Downtown Hound]

26. Yeah, she's such a neocon, that's why they all hate her and love you. n/t
