Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, has thrown 
her hat into the presidential primary ring.
Thus far, her campaign has been distinguished by two important issues:
First, she is the only candidate with the wisdom and the bravery to condemn the US foreign policy of “regime change.” She is critical of the US military endeavors in places like Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and, most recently, Venezuela.
Second, corporate, mainstream media outlets have very predictably shown nothing but disdain for her candidacy. When she is allowed airtime, she is consistently mocked and reviled, derided as a Russian stooge and propagandist for America’s “enemies.”
Ad hominem slander and name-calling are the vile tactics that pass for journalism nowadays.
Most recently, Rep. Gabbard demonstrated her decorum, wisdom,
experience and extraordinary self-control during what can only be described as a hostile interview on the popular ABC program, “The View.”
If you haven’t seen it yet, you can watch the entire interview here on YouTube (9 minutes). If you have a bit more time, watch Mike Figueredo provide insightful commentary and analysis of the interview on his program, The Humanist Report (16 minutes).
I am strongly thinking of defecting from Bernie to Tulsi. We desperately need a leader like her in the White House.
Wow, glad I watched this and with you. Surprised at the View. I do not yet understand why it is that we end up messing things up so they are worse in these countries but it seems to be true. Yep, I like Tulsi too.
