Double standard? Tulsi Gabbard on watchlist while terror suspect let go to plan assassinations

While the Biden administration placed former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard on a watchlist, the FBI released into the U.S. on a special parole the Pakistani man who sought to plan an assassination of Donald Trump and other politicians.

According to several whistleblowers, Gabbard – a military officer and former Hawaii congresswoman and presidential candidate – was placed on a watchlist under Quiet Skies, a TSA surveillance program designed to focus law enforcement resources on travelers that present an elevated risk to aviation security.

Gabbard confirmed the heightened security attention on her in an interview with journalist Matt Taibi. “The whistleblowers’ account matches my experience,” Gabbard said. “Everything lines up to the day.” 

She described how when she boarded a flight, TSA agents conducted a thorough screening, patting down every inch, searching all corners of her luggage, and individually inspected her electronic devices. 

“I’ve got a couple of blazers in there, and they’re squeezing every inch of the entire collar, every inch of the sleeves, every inch of the edging of the blazers,” she told Taibi. “They’re squeezing or padding down underwear, bras, workout clothes, every inch of every piece of clothing.”

Yet, while the government surveilled Gabbard, the FBI allowed Asif Raza Merchant to enter the U.S. in April with special permission known as “significant public benefit parole” even though he was flagged on a terrorism watchlist and recently traveled to Iran, according to government documents reviewed and reported on by Just the News.

Just imagine what the abuses will be under Giggles and Snitch should American vote stupidly.

It has been said that the purpose of political power is to reward one’s friends and punish. one’s enemies.

Tulsa is like Elizabeth in The Americans.

She looks normal but she’s a Russian agent. She’ll cut you up or she’ll plant a bomb on an airplane you’re about to board.

It’s just a matter of time til she traumatized some little kid forever.

It’s good that DHS has assigned six agents and two dogs to follow her around. You can’t be too careful...

Tulsi is a former WEF young global leader who has fled Schwabs grip, thus a danger now to the cabal.

Yes, that’s a good thing they’re doing, a very good thing. Tulsi a very bad woman.

Some say this is the reason for the harassment with Kamala flexing her new power muscles and her friend Hillary.

I judge people by who their enemies are. Tulsi must be one of the good guys.

Have it been verified that such conservative Roman Catholic organizations such as the Knights of Columbus and other Pro-Life supporters have been officially and specifically REMOVED from ALL US government terror watch lists
