Trump has brought in Tulsi Gabbard

@Burnley123


It was about her record as California's Attorney General, specifically that she declined to pass on prosecuting marijuana related offenses, and not interfering in a death-row case. Harris dismissed her, and during an interview later, she explained that she was not going to waste her time responding to Gabbard's comment.

So, she was enforcing the law, something Trump is going to have a hard time attack.

Just for the records. Gabbars is not anti-war. She has been in the employ of Putin's intelligence services, even when she was in Congress.

She took an all expense paid trip to Syria and the Middle East, to defend the Assad regime, on behalf of Putin. The cover was a Lebanese-American businessman, who invited her.

After Congress, she took a job as an announcer for RT, and when RT was banned in the US, she took a job at Fox News.

But I guess you can say that she's anti war against Putin and the international wars Putin does not support.

@Northwest Hey, I'm not a fan of Gabbard. Whatever Berniecrat cred she once had is long buried.

@Burnley123 I think Gabbard is helping him prep by playing Harris, like how Chris Christie helped Biden prep by playing Trump. It’s not like she’s advising him, or that he could even absorb any advice.

@Burnley123 She's been an imposter from day 1, and an antisemite to boot and I don't use this accusation lightly. I don't think she was ever a real Bernicrat. I'm really hoping Trump is taking advice from him, but his people want her, because of a single sound bite, but Harris learned the lesson: don't refuse to answer your opponent, because she's really beneath you.

@Northwest Keep in mind, Gabbard was raised in an isolated, hysterically homophobic cult that broke off from the Hare Krishnas (the Science of Identity Foundation). It's unclear if she's still under the control of the cult's leader, Chris Butler. Gabbard claims to be a Hindu today, not entirely false as Hare Krishna is itself an offshoot of Hinduism (although other Hindus don't consider it legitimate, similar to how many Christians don't consider the Jehovah's Witnesses to be legitimate Christianity). Hare Krishna was started by Srila Prabhupada, an Indian pharmacist who emigrated to the US and found followers among the hippies in the 1960s. His translation of the Bhagavad-Gita is considered the worst English version available, which is unfortunate as this is the copy Americans will tend to have, as the Hare Krishnas distribute them for free.

I never heard of SIF until Gabbard came onto the scene, as it's limited to Hawaii, but I know quite a bit about the Hare Krishnas as I encountered them frequently in the 1980s when I was in college. They have (or had) a vegetarian restaurant in LA which was supposed to be quite good.

As far as I can tell, most of Gabbard's support comes from white, conservative middle-aged men who like her because she looks good in a bathing suit and couldn't care less about the above.

@LeopoldBloom This is from a WaPo 2019, post Democrat candidates debate:


I remember the Hare Krishnas from back in the 1980s, when they were allowed to run around airports handing out books.
