Tulsi Gabbard Takes Republicans' Side After Being Sidelined in Impeachment Inquiry
Townhall ^ | 10/25/2019 | Cortney O'Brien

Before Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) announced she was not seeking re-election and fully dedicating herself to her presidential run, she joined Sean Hannity on Fox News to discuss a few hot topics Thursday night. Hannity gave her a chance to respond once more to Hillary Clinton's attacks. Last week, Clinton, the 2016 presidential also-ran, randomly accused Gabbard of being the Russians' favorite candidate. The Hawaii congresswoman responded in a Twitter video, then again on Tucker Carlson's show, and now once more she gave Clinton a piece of her mind during her discussion with Hannity.

“She is not only calling me a traitor, she is not only trying to smear my character, she's sending a warning out to every veteran, every single American, anyone who stands up the warmongering foreign policies that really are her legacy, that have been so destructive and costly to my brothers and sisters in uniform, because the American people trillions of dollars, and because of so much damage in the war,” Gabbard said.

As entertaining as her thoughts on Hillary were, Hannity also wanted to know what Gabbard thought of the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry in Congress. Republicans have complained of late that Adam Schiff has been blocking them from closed door testimonies, even members of the Judiciary Committee, which launched the inquiry. Although she supports the inquiry, it sounded like Gabbard took the GOP's side in criticizing how the Democrats are handling it.

“I don't know what's going on in those closed doors,” Gabbard said. “We as members of Congress do not have access to the information that's being shared. I think the American people deserve to know exactly what the facts are, what the evidence is being presented as this inquiry goes on.”

Republican lawmakers stormed one of the depositions earlier this week, demanding the Democrats be more transparent. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who's done much of the talking for his colleagues, said they want Democrats to offer President Trump the same due process that Presidents Clinton and Nixon were afforded during their own impeachment inquiries. Democrats said they expect to begin public hearings before Thanksgiving.

Not for long. She is setting up an anti-establishment 3rd party run. What better way for a Democrat to be anti-establishment than to have a fake cat fight with Hillary?

In a way, she’s like Sarah Palin. Her own party considers her risky and the party will make sure that she is destroyed.

Read her policy potions. She is a real communist. Sanders in a dress. She is just the only Communist Democrat smart enough to realize they have no chance unless they can lie their way into office like they did in 2018

I have been saying this for awhile. We women see “stuff”: 1) Guys, especially young ones, will STOP using their brains when it comes to an attractive woman. 2) she is a veteran
Again see #1. 3) People get all happy if ANYONE speaks against Hillary 4) she is young herself and next to the President...5) she keeps her wacky, communist ideas hidden.

In sum, Tulsi Gabbard is a Trojan horse.

To see who is the Democrat most likely to give Trump a run for his money in the 2020 race, look for the one candidate being attacked by Her Clintonian Highness.

There is a psychotic element to this. The only thing that could make Hillary feel worse about losing to Trump in 2016 is for someone else to beat Trump in 2020.

>>...the Democrats want a real communist.<<
.
Please, nobody be fooled. She may be attractive, soft spoken, and a veteran, but she is as far left as any of the other Regressive Socialist ‘RAT candidates. Recall that she endorsed Comrade Bernie in 2016.

If so, she could be the hottest SecDef ever.

That she has no love for Shrillery gets her +1 in my book.

Hilarious-— because hitlery and the democrat plantation machine... will say.... “See, see!... She supports the republican thugs and trump”. “She’s a russian asset, just like Trump”.

What sheer insanity. They are removing Gabbard themselves— because of their desperate political greed to HOLD POWER, they will soon be losing. Because of this same groupthink insanity, led by a male paedophile, and a demented alcoholic mafia daughter with her own criminal links to all of this. Not a good friday for the dems.

“Hey look at this media— Elijah Cummings... world rights hero- on a par with desmond tutu and mandela!!! Ding Ding... the Marxist pageant funeral” Pay no attention to the true judicial/legal machinery grinding them to pieces.
