020 Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is suing Google over allegations that the tech giant violated her right to “free speech.”
The Democratic Hawaii Rep. alleged that Google censored her presidential campaign, according to a complaint filed Thursday. Google suspended her campaign’s advertising for several hours last month, The Hill reported, and Gabbard‘s complaint stated that it is a violation of free speech.

I agree with all that, but her suit's going nowhere if she tries it on 1st Amendment grounds. A technicality, for sure, but that case won't fly.
I still like Tulsi, as I think she’s the most conservatives Dem running, which isn’t saying much, but is saying something. On the other had, look at the people she needs votes from - so she does all she can for the votes, but she’ll still lose big...she’s not liked by the base regardless.
Are there any angry Japanese left to nuke Hawai?
Change that to 50 billion and MAYBE Google brass will stop yawning.

She’s attractive and she served. That’s enough to make people say stupid things that should know better.
