Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is calling for President Donald Trump's censure on the eve a full House vote Wednesday on the articles of impeachment. The resolution, slated to be introduced Tuesday afternoon, suggests that the president put personal political gain over national interest. Gabbard has said she remains undecided on impeachment. "I'm taking this time for myself to be able to review everything that's happened all the information that's been put forward," Gabbard told a crowd at Furman University. "And just all the factors that go into really trying to figure out what what is the best action to take...

Of all the House Democrats undecided about voting to impeach President Trump, Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii has the least incentive to stick to the party line. The 2020 presidential candidate is giving up her seat to concentrate on her White House race, and she's long been an apostate against her party on some key issues. In New Hampshire earlier this week, Gabbard, 38, said she remains "undecided" on whether she'll vote to impeach the president. That makes her one of the few Democratic lawmakers to voice skepticism about the pair of impeachment articles passed by the House Judiciary Committee on...

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, announced late Monday that she won't be attending the Democrats' next debate "regardless" of whether she qualifies. Gabbard, who previously flirted with the idea of skipping an earlier debate, appeared more assertive about bowing out of the upcoming debate being hosted by PBS and Politico on Dec. 19. "For a number of reasons, I have decided not to attend the December 19th 'debate' — regardless of whether or not there are qualifying polls," Gabbard tweeted. "I instead choose to spend that precious time directly meeting with and hearing from the people of New Hampshire and South...

Tulsi Gabbard went after The View this morning during a contentious interview on… The View. The 2020 Democratic candidate wasted no time before taking a shot at the ABC daytime show, and particularly Joy Behar, who said in October that Gabbard could be “a useful idiot” for the Russians. On Wednesday, Gabbard fired back, telling Behar straight to her face that her remarks are “extremely offensive.” Added Gabbard, “You’re implying that I’m too stupid and too naive and lack the intelligence to know what I am doing.”

Tulsi Gabbard trashed the Democratic Party as “not the party that is of, by and for the people,” accused Kamala Harris of trafficking in “lies and smears and innuendo” and attacked Pete Buttigieg as naive. Her performance at Wednesday’s debate earned an attaboy from the Trump War Room. And some rank-and-file Democrats are at wit's end with the congresswoman who Hillary Clinton called “the favorite of the Russians.” “The question is whether she seriously hopes to be the nominee or if she has another agenda … her attacks on other candidates and her positions on issues seem very personal, not...

Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard took a shot at the media’s usage of the Democratic debates and compared the debates to “political reality TV” on a podcast Tuesday. Gabbard spoke on “The Joe Rogan Experience” with Rogan and Jocko Willink and discussed attacks from her fellow candidates, her presidential bid and her thoughts on the debates. Gabbard called the format of the debates “frustrating.” “You’ve got 60 to 75 seconds to get your point across, to talk about hey here’s my position, here’s what I would do with North Korea, here’s what I would deal with immigration reform in 60...

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has taken the lead in New Hampshire, and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) has experienced a significant surge in the Granite State, according to a post-debate Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll released on Monday. The poll, taken from November 21-24, 2019, among 500 likely New Hampshire Democrat primary voters, found Sanders retaking the lead in his neighboring state with 16 percent support, followed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) with 14 percent, and Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) and former Vice President Joe Biden (D) closely behind with 13 percent and 12 percent, respectively. While six points separate the remainder...

A New York man with famous parents posted a message on Twitter on Saturday night, urging people to donate to the 2020 presidential campaign of U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii. The request came from Sean Ono Lennon, the 44-year-old son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. “Even if you are skeptical of @TulsiGabbard you can’t say she doesn’t deserve to be part of this race,” Lennon wrote. “She is the primary candidate who is adding to a conversation around ending unnecessary wars. Please donate a dollar. She only needs 3000 more individual donations.”

U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is currently polling at just 1% nationally among the Democrats running for president, although she fares better in Iowa and New Hampshire. Who exactly are her supporters? According to the opinion poll analyses website FiveThirtyEight, the Hawaii Democrat’s support is “predominantly male” (her support among women is “practically nonexistent”) and “likely to fall outside of traditional Democratic circles.”

Rep. Andy Biggs, the Arizona Republican who was elected this month to take the reins of the group of sometimes defiant hard-liners, said its members are not afraid to buck Mr. Trump as they did in opposing his attempt to repeal Obamacare in 2017.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., called Donald Trump early Wednesday morning, according to an aide, who said he "congratulated Trump on his big night." The aide said Trump and Ryan, "had a very good conversation." Ryan also spoke with GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence, a former House GOP leader. Ryan endorsed Trump earlier this year but had been estranged from the Trump campaign following a leaked video from 2005 that showed Trump making lewd comments about women.

Trump, on the other hand, is running something of a two-man show with his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, as many leading Republican lawmakers have either avoided being seen with him in public or stated outright that they will not campaign with the party's nominee. The GOP nominee has appeared at campaign rallies this week in Michigan, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio, New York, North Carolina and New Hampshire. Pence, for his part, has held rallies in Florida, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Michigan and Iowa.

That said, among his fellow Mormons, there appears to be a lot of interest in the former Republican congressional staffer’s candidacy. In a Utah survey released over the weekend by the Salt Lake Tribune, McMullin trailed Republican nominee Donald Trump by just 2 percent, within the poll’s margin of error. . . . McMullin has also polled in the low double-digits in neighboring Idaho, ahead of Johnson’s 4 percent. It’s even possible that his support could be higher than surveys are indicating, since many pollsters don’t include him in their questionnaires. All of this means that everything is going to...

"In the long term, we're building a new conservative movement we think is badly needed in this country," McMullin said. "The party needs to be more welcoming to people that don't look like me, people of different races and religions." "I do think that there is a problem with bigotry within the voting base of the Republican Party.

RUSH: Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump, move on. If congressional endorsements meant anything, Jeb Bush would be the nominee. Move on. It doesn't matter. The people that are running away from you are the people that want to sign up for amnesty and join the Democrats anyway. Move on. These people couldn't get the people they wanted for the nomination. Just swat them away, Mr. Trump. Greetings. Welcome, my friends. Great to have you. Rush Limbaugh behind the Golden EIB Microphone. It's getting insane out there now. It's getting so insane that I'm questioning my own sanity now and then. Don't...

Noted #NeverTrumpers Glenn (Cheeto-face) Beck, Lyin Ted Cruz, Ben Sasse, Paul Ryan, Nikki Haley, Carly Fiorina, Ken Cuccinelli, Katie Pavlich, Guy Benson, Hugh Hewitt and Erick Erickson are the featured speakers at the annual RedState gathering in Denver in August.

Among a very long list of harms inflicted upon the United States by Barack Obama and his party, perhaps the worst was Caesarism. Obama relished the worship of millions in 2008. From his star turn at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, he was treated not as a political candidate, but as a savior. Progressives fell into a swoon, typified by Newsweek editor Evan Thomas' 2008 comment, "I mean in a way Obama's standing above the country, above -- above the world; he's sort of God." Now, a similar kind of unreasoning adulation is greeting (improbably enough) Donald Trump. Fred Barnes...

Have Republicans Grown Tired of Supporting the Rule of Law? by MONA CHAREN August 28, 2015 Among a very long list of harms inflicted upon the United States by Barack Obama and his party, perhaps the worst was Caesarism.

Tuesday morning, FBI Director James Comey stepped up to a podium and calmly and methodically demolished every single Hillary Clinton lie, spin, and evasion regarding her misuse of classified information. Months of deception blew up in her face. And then Comey decided to make her president of the United States. Rarely have 30 minutes of television so perfectly encapsulated the decline and fall of the rule of law and the extraordinary privileges enjoyed by America’s liberal elite. After listing abuse after abuse — and detailing lie after lie — Comey declared that “no reasonable prosecutor” would prosecute Hillary for her...
