Yesterday President Trump offered to place our military, my brothers and sisters in uniform, under the command [sic] of Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the dictator of the Islamist Kingdom of Saudi Arabia [sic]. Trump said, “[We] are locked and loaded, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!” Mr. President, as you know, I have never engaged in hateful rhetoric against you [sic], or your family, and I never will, but your offering our military assets to the dictator of Saudi Arabia to use as he sees fit, is a betrayal of my brothers and sisters in uniform who are ready to give our lives for our country, not for the Islamist dictator of Saudi Arabia. For you to think that you can pimp out our proud servicemen and women to the Prince of Saudi Arabia is disgraceful, and it once again shows that you are unfit to serve as our commander in chief. As a member of Congress, and as a soldier, I and all of my brothers and sisters in uniform have taken an oath to protect and defend the American people and the Constitution of the United States of America. There is nothing in our Constitution that gives you the power to go to war without the express consent of Congress [sic], but to speak of giving you the power to offer our military to a foreign power like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to use as they wish — President Trump, your words and actions are a betrayal of my brothers and sisters in uniform, the American people, and our Constitution. My fellow servicemembers and I — we are not your prostitutes. You are not our pimp.

Given that she is in the National Guard she should be taken to gitmo and waterboarded before being locked up the rest of her worthless life.what a loser.
“Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”
Is this bitch a commissioned officer or is she not?
She seemed to be the only “normal” (although lefty) democrat a while back, and I gave her a pass because she is easy on the eyes.
Now she’s shown that she is just as Bat-sh*t crazy as the rest of them.
Pass revoked!
One of my big problems with George W Bush was that he wanted that “new tone” in Washington. He allowed the Democrats to attack him shamelessly and he would not fight back. He wanted to be above the fray. This did not work out well for him.
One of my favorite things about Trump is that he is a counter-puncher. He fights back.
And yet … Tulsi can throw the dirt and nothing happens, Ilhan can marry her brother and commit immigration fraud and nothing happens, no indictments against the Deep State, no protection of Jeffrey Epstein, no nothing.
Trump is starting to look a little like George W Bush. Sure he tweets stuff, but is he really fighting?
“You simply don’t talk about the C-in-C that way ...”
Furthermore, Trump is not going to put our troops at the mercy, no strings attached, to any foreign government.
Tulsi’s lowering herself to get attention.
No, George Soros is your pimp and sugar daddy.
She doth protest too much about something that hasn’t even happened yet ... and if recent history is any indication, WILL NOT HAPPEN AT ALL.
She is totally fine with open borders for illegal aliens—she has forfeited any right to talk about “national defense”.
UCMJ = Uniform Code of Military Justice
This does not apply to members of Congress, and she is not a commissioned officer.
Like ButtyGuy, she is playing the military card without any real feeling for the military. Or respect for it.
Yeah, if MAJ Gabbard had said what she said about the `Hawaiian’ Obama, she would have been thrown into Kilauea as a sacrifice to Madame Pele.
The vulgar Left claims that Trump is “crude.”
They are mostly referring to his candor since crudeness is their mother tongue.
I’d fire her for insubordination.
“Hey! Let’s let women serve in the military! What could go wrong?”
Correction: I don’t know enough about her, so I didn’t realize she was National Guard. If the statement was made while she was in uniform, she is subject to the UCMJ.
Ambitious little hack. I know some folks that like Gabbard, and it’s only because she distinguishes herself from others in her liberal Democrat tribe.
She’s awful. If she had integrity, she wouldn’t run with that tribe. Case closed.
“... a betrayal of my brothers and sisters in uniform,...”
She’s supposed to be the Dems’ “War Hero”.
And if you’re STILL in uniform, girl, he’s STILL your Commander in Chief, and you STILL take your orders from him.
Just another psychotic lib at the end of the day. So much for her being the “moderate democrat”.
I don’t think being in uniform or not at the time of the utterance matters. I think it applies until one retires or resigns their commission. Ms/Major Gabbard seems to me to be in blatant violation.
