Presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard on Thursday responded to criticism about her past work advocating against gay rights by apologizing in a video.

The nearly four-minute-long clip, which was shot in her Washington, D.C., backyard, shows Gabbard standing in the snow saying that her views have changed significantly since she made statements that were hurtful to LGBTQ people.

The Democratic congresswoman has apologized for such statements before. But she has come under renewed criticism since she announced during a CNN interview last week that she would run for president.

It’s like the Maoist cultural revolution complete with self-denouncements.

Weak. Both Obama and Hillary were anti homo wedding. They pivoted without apology or explanation.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I can dig it. Takes attention away from her poc marks.

[proust]

She makes a great spoiler, driving in that progresssive wedge.

[DIRTYSECRET]

She’s still young. It means we can go to work on her. We’re gonna steal their women and drink their beer.

Giving in to the world isn’t worth what you’re hoping for, Ms. Gabbard.

[cpdiii]

Political whore, she will say anything to advance her career. It is really that simple.

[SaveFerris]

yep

To be sure this is totally inclusive she needs to issue an apology in pig Latin.

What has happened to Obama or Hillary, since they recently also believed (evidence to the contrary) that marriage was only for men to women? We are not making them grovel because....?

Not to be a party pooper, but the entire Christian faith is built on repentance (i.e., an admission of wrongdoing). Without it there can be no strength of character.

That said, we don't know if Tulsi is truly demonstrating remorse or just towing the PC party line. Probably the latter.

If she truly cared about LGBTQ people, she would tell the truth about their perverted lifestyle.

she had hindu background not christian

[right way right]

You mean Christian apology to God.

[RoosterRedux]

Do you think a Christian asks God for forgiveness of his sins but then is under no obligation to reconcile himself with humans who he has wronged?

Very disappointed in Tulsi, I thought she was one of the few Democrats that did not blindly follow Marxist dogma. I was wrong about her.
