Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is condemning Netflix for releasing the controversial Cuties, calling the movie “child porn” and telling the streamer that it is “complicit” in encouraging pedophiles and helping to fuel the child sex trafficking trade. Her condemnation adds to the growing Congressional scrutiny of Netflix over its decision to distribute the sexually charged movie.
In a blistering tweet posted late Friday, the former Democratic presidential candidate blasted Netflix, citing the fact that 1 in 4 victims of sex trafficking are children.
“Child porn Cuties will certainly whet the appetite of pedophiles & help fuel the child sex trafficking trade,” Gabbard wrote. “1 in 4 victims of trafficking are children. It happened to my friend’s 13 year old daughter. Netflix, you are now complicit.”

I would never have voted for her even if she were nominated, but I do like her.
At least she said something.
But deliberately murdering unborn and newly born babies doesn’t bother her? She’s garbage. She should show 1/4 of her concern to save the unborn and newly born that are slaughtered over 3,000 times every day in this country.
Did I say “3,000 times every day”?
Many of Hollyweed’s top celebrities are signed on with and make money off of Netflix. That Reed Hastings must be so proud that LeBrain is on his team too.. and Susan Rice and Obammy.
“At least she said something”
She isn’t running for re-election, but must still have political ambitions. (maybe that Hazy Maize Hironos Senate Seat?) otherwise she might have have called out Obongo and Susan Rice whom sit on the NetPedos BOD.
Of all of them she was the only one I thought might not be insane.
Thanks to a major marketing mistake, this award-winning French movie has been accused of sexualizing girls. It’s actually a sensitive portrait of growing pains that deserves to be seen
Here’s what Cuties, the debut feature from French-Senegalese filmmaker Maïmouna Doucouré, is: the story of an 11-year-old named Amy (Fathia Youssouf) who’s stuck watching her family fall apart and is trying to find a place for herself in the world. Here’s what it is not: a salacious bit of pedo-bait designed to appeal to baser instincts rather than better angels. To be fair, Netflix — the company that purchased this slice-of-life drama at Sundance, where Doucouré won the Best Directing award in the fest’s World Cinema Dramatic Competition — did the work exactly zero favors by switching out the original French poster (kids romping down la rue after a shopping spree) for one featuring the underage cast in provocative poses and couture. Out of context, the girls’ outfits look questionably flashy and trashy; seen in context, as the costumes for a hip-hop dance troupe competing for a grand prize, you understand how they function in regards to a bigger-picture message that Doucouré is trying to get across.None of which stopped people from claiming that the movie is softcore porn (it isn’t), and that Netflix’s marketing scheme was an absolutely boneheaded, wrong-footed, self-defeating move (guilty as charged). Petitions were circulated, right-wing pundits weighed in, Ted Sarandos issued a mea culpa and Doucouré received death threats. Suddenly, a sensitive coming-of-age movie became a culture-war target. And anyone who caught Cuties at a festival, or who bothers to stream it on Netflix starting today, can attest to the supreme irony here. It’s a portrait of girls that decries how sexuality is force-fed to them and/or viewed as the only way to foster self-esteem at far too young an age. It is the polar opposite of what it’s accused of being.
But having informed opinions is so much work, far better to just jump to conclusions...
Wait a tick... isn’t Susan Rice on the Netflix Board of Directors?
Aren’t the Obamas producers for Netflix? They’ll probably resign after this...
Lay down with dirty dogs, you get fleas, Tulsi.
Expecting Barack to condemn Netflix.
She squawks like an agitated bird, but she has no real courage. She votes the Democratic line and has accomplished nothing in her political career.

Yep. Typical democrat working small to big.
There's your spin from a left wing source, and now here's reality for those who actually do want to be informed:

She’s definitely not done in politics.
> At least she said something. <
Yep. Gabbard always struck me as a conservative struggling to get out of a liberal shell. If she could only get her mind right about the evils of abortion (and a few other things), she’d be okay in my book.
Why would they resign? Cozying up the many Hollyweird pedos is part of their raison d’etre.
Just a hunch, but I think she wants to be Governor of Hawaii.
I think we should convince her to switch to the GOP, sure she’s fairly liberal for the GOP, but for Hawaii, it would be about as good as you’re gonna get.
