(Video) Tulsi Gabbard: Trump response to Saudi oil strikes a 'disgrace'
Wednesday on Fox News Channels Your World, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), a candidate for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination criticized President Donald Trumps response to an attack on an oil production facility in Saudi Arabia.
Gabbard went on to argue Saudi Arabias promotion of extremist Wahhabi ideology was a bigger threat to the United States than Iran.
Partial transcript as follows:
CAVUTO: All right, so the interpretation I have is that you want to bring back that Iran deal, get move back to that.
....
GABBARD: No, Im a fan of the United States of America. Im a fan of the American people.
And as president and commander in chief, I would put their interests above all else, putting the wellbeing of the American people
CAVUTO: Is it in our interests for Saudi Arabia is it in our interests for Saudi Arabia to be protected or its kingdom to be protected? Or do you draw a distinction?
GABBARD: Well, let me tell you what is not in our interest, is this alliance that has been longstanding between the United States and Saudi Arabia, in spite of the fact that they are directly and indirectly supporting Al Qaeda, the terrorist group that attacked us on 9/11.
We just observed the 18th anniversary of that terrible attack on our country in 2001. They are continuing to spend billions of dollars every year propagating this extremist Wahhabi ideology thats fueling the growth of terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS and others around the world.
They are directly supporting those who pose a threat to our country and the United States, that threat that we need to defeat.

Are there even any good guys over there?
I don’t even know.
She is saying she prefers to drink piss rather than eat sh!t. I prefer neither.
You probably have it!
They pay attention to what happened to Iraq and Libya. Kim in NK is okay so far.
I'd rather President Trump chose her than Nikki Haley (I HATE that rumor!), and form a consensus ticket. I know it would never happen, of course.
My conclusion on Tulsi—she is just naive—and has not been and will not be in any room where actual decisions are made.
Public policy debates are irrelevant when the kleptocracy (Deep State) rules.
I remember reading right here more than once that Pakistans Nukes are Saudi Nukes.
I still maintain that she is priming to be Biden's (or even Warren's) VP pick. I think she attacked Kamala at the first debate maybe at the bequest of Biden to take her out to benefit Biden and ingratiate him to herself. She is positioning herself to both appeal to potential Trump voters, and to be the VP attack dog. Can you imagine her in a debate with Mike Pence?
Part of our ‘friendship’ with the more modern parts of the House of Saud should be an agreement they forbid their imans from functioning in the United States.
Saudi extremist imans don’t preach ‘religion’ they preach death to Western ideas... The Sauds should be open to this since they don’t allow people from other religions preaching to their citizens. That said, Tulsi Gabbard has a point... Wahhabism is tailor made for angry pity party tribal cultures... which includes much of the criminal parts of the black community.
Vipers are a bigger threat than cobras.
You know now that you mention it I suspect a debate between Tulsi and Pence would probably be a much better and educational event than a Trump debate. This campaign could really be a great twofer. We can enjoy Trump thrashing an idiot like Biden and have a real discussion at the same time.
How is this not blaming the victim?
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Cool that Wasabi mouth way down with a chilled Allah’s Gift longneck camel urine.
And it also is not like if you oppose one you have to support the other.
Sure. "Great Satan" is a compliment. "Death to America", being chanted in their Parliament, is just tolerance.
SMH
Some of her ideas seem well thought out - almost like she’s not the usual democrat idiot sucking in ‘talking points’ from political consultants. Or ideas from commie wannabees... That means under different circumstances she’d be a force to be reckoned with...
Lucky for us the the democrat base is stupid - and their ‘elites’ are vile... neither group will ‘get her’. She won’t go anywhere.
It is their circus. They don’t do it in US. Saudis scream death to America in their mosques worldwide.
I have been making the same point since the eighties.
All of the Muslim countries will attack each other if left to their own devices.
Never stop them.
