Tulsi Gabbard Rips Critics Calling Her ‘Transphobic’ Amid Congressional Exit

/1 Comment/in , /by

Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard hit back at critics of legislation she’s introduced to prevent transgender women from competing in female sports and for the care of infant survivors of late-term abortion, calling them “hypocrites.”

A number of people called Gabbard, who leaves Congress this month, “transphobic” and a “right wing s—t heel” on Twitter, among other invectives.

“I welcome real criticism and debate,” Gabbard (D-Hawaii) told The Post Saturday. “But my so-called critics don’t want to debate the issues. They just want to engage in smears and slurs and name-calling and innuendo.”

Gabbard, 39, who decided to leave Congress last year to focus on her presidential bid, said she is “maximizing” the time she has left in office and said she fears for the U.S.

“Identity politics is having an incredibly destructive effect on our country rather than recognizing what connects all Americans,” she said. “It’s being done to help people and parties get in power and stay in power by pitting individual Americans against each other.” (Read more from “Tulsi Gabbard Rips Critics Calling Her ‘Transphobic’ Amid Congressional Exit” HERE)

Dem Rep. Tulsi Gabbard Introduces Bill That Would Allow Only Biological Females in Women’s Sports

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and Republican Oklahoma Rep. Markwayne Mullin introduced legislation that would clarify Title IX protections for female athletes as based on biological sex, a press release said Thursday.

The “Protect Women’s Sports Act” recognizes the different abilities conferred by biological sex, the statement says. Title IX protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal funding.

“Title IX was a historic provision championed by Hawaii’s own Congresswoman Patsy Mink in order to provide equal opportunity for women and girls in high school and college sports,” Gabbard said in the statement. “It led to a generational shift that impacted countless women, creating life-changing opportunities for girls and women that never existed before.”

“However, Title IX is being weakened by some states who are misinterpreting Title IX, creating uncertainty, undue hardship and lost opportunities for female athletes. Our legislation protects Title IX’s original intent which was based on the general biological distinction between men and women athletes based on sex,” (Read more from “Dem Rep.

Tulsi Gabbard Makes AOC and Ilhan Omar Go Silent After They Attack Her for Helping Expose Voter Fraud (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Hawaii Democrat Tulsi Gabbard might have been the last of the Democrats who had any sense of propriety and integrity, and while many would disagree with her politics, her ability to understand right and wrong can’t be overlooked.

For instance, as Democrats were doing their level best to ignore or more making excuses for the Project Veritas story that exposed the voter fraud helping Minnesota’s Ilhan Omar’s reelection, Gabbard was actually making statements denouncing the very obvious and provable fraud that was taking place right there, on video, for the world to see.

Upon the video’s release by Project Veritas, Gabbard released a statement that Project Veritas offered “further evidence” of a need to ban ballot harvesting. She has been at the forefront of ballot harvesting prevention and is pushing legislation to make sure that elections are protected from it. . .

AOC’s attack on Gabbard started after FOX9 (KMSP-TV) did an interview with the man at the center of the Project Veritas investigation, Liban Osman. Osman claimed that the Project Veritas video was fraudulent because it was edited to make it seem like he was collecting ballots from people and altering them himself. FOX9 called Project Veritas a misinformation organization and that they attempted to bribe Osman into saying they were committing fraudulent acts. . .

Gabbard wasn’t going to take it lying down and did indeed apologize for referencing the Project Veritas story but the apology didn’t come alone. She immediately put the ball back into the squad’s court.

Tulsi Gabbard Snubbed by DNC

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) confirmed Thursday night, just before the last night of the Democratic National Convention, that she was completely snubbed by the party, despite being a Democrat presidential candidate and receiving delegates.

“You’re correct — I was not invited to participate in any way,” Gabbard tweeted, in response to an apparent supporter who reminded viewers that candidates who receive delegates traditionally are offered a speaking slot but Gabbard was not given a slot.

The supporter added: “Although I doubt she would have accepted, the lack of invitation once again exposes the blatant DNC bias and Hillary Clinton proxies that have pursued Tulsi this entire time.”

Tulsi Gabbard: DNC ‘Rigging’ Primary

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) criticized the Iowa Democratic Party Tuesday for botching its first-in-the-nation caucus, accusing the Democrat National Committee (DNC) of “rigging” its primary contest in favor of billionaire candidates like former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

“Thousands of people turned out to cast the first votes of this presidential primary in the Iowa Caucuses last night,” Gabbard said in a statement. “Unfortunately, the voices of the people of Iowa have yet to be heard as the vote count continues, leaving voters frustrated and without the transparency and integrity in this process that they expect and deserve.”

She continued: “It’s clear that the corporate media, the military-industrial complex, and the party establishment are threatened by [my] message, because it challenges their grip on power. They will do everything to silence us, while also rigging the primary process for billionaire candidates who think they can bypass the kind of grassroots campaigning that is the fuel of our movement.” (Read more from “Tulsi Gabbard: DNC ‘Rigging’ Primary” HERE)

Two DNC Host Committee Leaders Fired

By ABC News. Two Democratic National Convention host committee leaders have been fired, according to the host committee board.

“Every employee has a right to feel respected in their workplace. Based on the information we have learned to date, we believe the work environment did not meet the ideals and expectations of the Milwaukee 2020 Host Committee Board of Directors. Accordingly, Liz Gilbert and Adam Alonso are no longer employed by the organization, effective immediately,” the host committee board said in a statement Tuesday night.

Accusations spelled out in a letter, which WISN 12 News obtained, claimed the two top leaders of the host committee created an office culture that was toxic, that eroded trust and damaged morale.

“Whenever there are issues like this, I take them very seriously,” Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said.

Barrett praised the Milwaukee Host Committee’s board for its action addressing claims of a toxic work culture leveled against the committee’s president and its chief of staff. (Read more from “Two DNC Host Committee Leaders Fired” HERE)

Tulsi Gabbard Sues Hillary Clinton for Defamation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tulsi Gabbard said that the $50 million in damages sought in her defamation lawsuit against Hillary Clinton is not enough.

“It should have been for $50 billion,” the Hawaii congresswoman and Democratic presidential candidate said when asked how she arrived at the figure. “What is your life worth to you? What is your honor and loyalty and your identity worth to you?”

Gabbard on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against Clinton, asserting that the former Secretary of State’s October 2019 comments in which she asserted that Gabbard was being groomed by Republicans to run as a third-party spoiler candidate and appeared to call her a “Russian asset” harmed Gabbard’s political ambitions.

2020 Dem Slams Pelosi for Making up Impeachment Rules

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii) is not impressed with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to delay sending articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate.

During an interview on Friday, Gabbard — who voted “present” on impeachment, criticizing what she called the “partisan process” on display — said of Pelosi’s move, “You can’t…make up the rules as you go.” . . .

Gabbard was asked about Speaker Pelosi’s tactic during a sit-down with Hill.TV on Thursday, and responded, “I was surprised to hear that. Look, I think that you can’t kind of just shift and change and make up the rules as you go along. If you’re going to pursue this process, you’ve got to let it play out the whole way through.” (Read more from “2020 Dem Slams Pelosi for Making up Impeachment Rules” HERE)

2020 Candidate: U.S. Government ‘Is Hiding the Truth’ About 9/11 Terror Attacks

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard said during a Fox News interview on Thursday night that the United States government is “hiding the truth” about the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Gabbard, a Representative from Hawaii, told Tucker Carlson that she believes that the U.S. government is covering up Saudi Arabia’s role in the attacks which killed thousands of Americans.

“This story that we’re hearing from the families of those who were killed on 9/11 pushes this issue to the forefront where, for so long, leaders in our government have said, ‘well, Saudi Arabia is our great ally, they’re a partner in counterterrorism’ — turning a blind eye or completely walking away from the reality that Saudi Arabia time and again, has proven to be the opposite,” Gabbard said.

“They’re undermining our national security interests … they are the number one exporter of this Wahhabi extremist ideology,” Gabbard continued. “They’re a fertile recruiting ground for terrorists, like al Qaeda and ISIS around the world. They’re directly providing arms and assistance to al Qaeda, in places like Yemen, and in Syria.”

“And as we are seeing here, it is our government, our own government that is hiding the truth … and the many other families of those who were killed on 9/11,” Gabbard concluded. “For what? Where do the loyalties really lie?” (Read more from “Tulsi Gabbard: U.S. Government ‘Is Hiding the Truth’ About 9/11 Terror Attacks” HERE)

A ‘Failed Legacy:’ Tulsi Gabbard Blisters Hillary Clinton In Op-Ed

/0 Comments/in , /by

Failed 2016 presidential contender Hillary Clinton may have gone silent on Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), the 2020 Democratic presidential contender whom Clinton suggested was a Russian plant designed to upend the upcoming election. Tulsi Gabbard, however, hasn’t forgotten their feud.

In a Wall Street Journal opinion piece published Wednesday, Gabbard says she is running for president in order to “undo Mrs. Clinton’s failed legacy,” citing her 2016 endorsement of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) against Clinton in the Democratic primary as proof she and Clinton have been in conflict for years.

Gabbard says that, in the years since Clinton’s last presidential run, she’s all but forgotten about Donald Trump’s chief rival but it’s now clear Clinton hasn’t forgotten about her. . .

“Whether Mrs. Clinton’s name is on the ballot or not, her foreign policy will be,” Gabbard wrote, adding that she’s battling a dozen other candidates who “adhere to her doctrine of acting as the world’s police, using the tools of war to overthrow governments we don’t like, wasting taxpayer dollars, costing American lives, causing suffering and destruction abroad, and undermining America’s security.”

Hillary Clinton has been silent in response, but her allies have not. Instead of hitting at Gabbard directly, Clinton associates have been conducting something of a whisper campaign, fomenting a concern among Democrats that Gabbard really is marshaling her troops for a third party bid — or at least a Democratic convention coup.

Tulsi Gabbard Challenges ‘Cowardly’ Hillary Clinton

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said 2020 Democratic hopeful, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) is “the favorite of the Russians,” and that she and Jill Stein, the 2016 Green Party presidential nominee, are “totally” Russian assets.

Speaking during the Campaign HQ podcast last week, Clinton told podcast host David Plouffe that Russians were “grooming [Gabbard] to be the third party candidate,” adding, “They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far.”

“I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on someone who’s currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate. She’s the favorite of the Russians,” Clinton said. “And that’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she’s also a Russian asset. Yeah, she’s a Russian asset — I mean, totally,” she added.

Gabbard responded to Clinton on Twitter, saying, “You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a concerted campaign to destroy my reputation. We wondered who was behind it and why. Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose. It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me. Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly.” (Read more from “Tulsi Gabbard Challenges ‘Cowardly’ Hillary Clinton” HERE)
