I just now found out that Tulsi’s father, Mike Gabbard is a Hawaii State Senator, and has held this seat since 2006.
Why didn’t I already know that? This may help to explain
some of the ‘dignity and elegance’ that seems to emanate from her presence. I could not quite define it before.
She learned how a public figure should conduct himself, by watching her Dad during his Senatorial career.
As for (Bumbling Brother) Batarti, every family has it’s ‘unfortunate’ situations that must be endured and closely managed.
Father Mike has taken the opposite career path of his daughter. He once was elected as a Republican in Hawaii (which is almost literally an impossibility today). Of course he was a liberal and still is, but now he’s a Democrat and has been for several years.
Tulsi went from moderate/liberal Democrat to moderate/perhaps somewhat conservative Republican.
“As for (Bumbling Brother) Batarti, every family has its ‘unfortunate’ situations that must be endured and closely managed.”
That’s what Rob Reiner thought.
There’s more to it, her father took very principled positions that made people and other politicians scream in rage.He had incredible spine to stand firm.
