The left has decided they hate her now:
I think her conversion is real but I understand folks who might have their doubts.
At this point conservatives have been burned so often we think every pony in the stable is really a Trojan Horse.
:-)
As long as we keep falling for it, why should they do anything different?
From her wikipedia page, here’s a bill she introduced in Congress in 2017:
“In 2017, Gabbard introduced the Off Fossil Fuels (OFF) Act, which sought to “justly transition away from fossil fuel sources of energy to 100% clean energy by 2035, and for other purposes”.[126][127]”
And here she is on the “pandemic” in the summer of 2020:
“Later that same month, Gabbard and Dr. Scott Miscovich held a press conference lauding Dr. Jennifer Smith, the state’s epidemiological specialist who blew the whistle regarding the Hawaii Department of Health’s lack of contact tracers to deal with the COVID-19 crisis.[208] Gabbard called for the Hawaii DOH Director Bruce Anderson and state epidemiologist Sarah Park to step down[209] and alleged that Hawaii Governor David Ige is partly to blame.[210] In the aftermath, Anderson retired from his position,[211] whereas Park was later replaced and put on leave.[212] However, Smith was also put on paid leave and Gabbard responded, saying that the action “further erodes the public trust” and that it “sends a dangerously chilling message to others in our government who are doing the right thing, that they better toe the line or they will be punished”.[211] On November 2, 2020, Smith returned to work from her paid leave.[213] On February 1, 2021, Park left the Hawaii Department of Health.[212]”
Then there’s this:
“Gabbard has also expressed support for an easier path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, increasing skilled immigration, and granting work visas to immigrants”
Then this:
“Gabbard protested the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota in 2016.[247][248]”
And this:
“Gabbard has spoken in favor of a Green New Deal but expressed concerns about vagueness in some proposed versions of the legislation[250] and its inclusion of nuclear energy.[251] She advocates her own “Off Fossil Fuels for a Better Future Act” (”OFF Act”) as legislation to transition the United States to renewable energy.[252][253]”
This:
“Gabbard supports a national healthcare insurance program that covers uninsured, as well as under-insured people,[277] and allows supplemental but not duplicative private insurance.[253] She has since advocated for a two-tier universal health care plan that she calls “Single Payer Plus”, loosely modeled after Australia’s system and allowing for both supplementary and duplicative private insurance.[278][279]”
This:
“In January 2020, in response to a question from a voter, Gabbard called for legalizing and regulating all drugs, citing Portugal’s model for drug decriminalization.[242]”
From her political positions wikipedia page:
“During the 2019-2020 coronavirus outbreak, Gabbard supported a temporary universal basic income of $1000 per month.[207] Another former candidate in the 2020 presidential election campaign, Andrew Yang, had supported the universal basic income.[207]
Education
Gabbard supports making community college tuition free for all Americans while making all four-year colleges tuition free for students with an annual family income of $125,000 or less. The tuition would be funded by a new tax on trading stocks and bonds.[130]”
And this:
“Family policy
Gabbard co-sponsored the Family Act legislation which would entitle employees to take up to 60 days of paid, job-protected leave to care for a newborn child or to care for any family member for medical reasons. She advocates for universal basic income which would allow one parent to either provide childcare themselves at home or to afford to pay for childcare. She also advocates for expanding pre-kindergarten education to all Americans.[216][217]”
And this:
“:Housing
Gabbard proposes addressing the housing crisis by bipartisan efforts to use zoning and public–private partnerships between local governments and private developers to quickly increase the amount and reduce the price of available housing.[239]”
