Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) on Thursday defended her decision to vote “present” during the House’s impeachment vote, saying she does not believe “in good consciences” she could vote “either yes or no.”
“First of all, throughout my life – whether it was through serving in the military and in the different decisions I’ve made in Congress, I always think about what’s in the best interest of the country. People will agree sometimes with those decisions, may disagree with those decisions, but my motivation is always coming from a deep love of country,” she said in an interview with The Hill TV’s “Rising.”

Then why in the Wide, Wide World of Sports didn’t you vote NO, Gabby, instead of taking the coward’s way out and vote “Not All There?”
” I always think about what’s in the best interest of the country”.

The Socialist Hindu is very deep.
I believe Gabbard was referring to the rancor and divisiveness both sides have engaged in throughout the impeachment process.
I don’t think she cares who ‘started it’ either.
She is starting to sound like Jean effin Kerry.
Thank you for your service Ms. Gabbard but your "present" vote was pure political cowardice.
Well, Tulsi, it did.
Exactly. If she has strong convictions about this process not being fair and legit, she had the responsibility to vote AGAINST it. No excuses for her fence-straddling.
She didn’t recognize it- good enough.
She would be the Democrats best chance, for support beyond their party faithful, but she won’t get it.
