Tulsi Gabbard - The Wonkette Questions Her Syrian & Russian Connections

This is just a small snippet. Please read the full article, including Russian operations to boost her campaign.

Lots of people are talking about the utterly batshit interview congresswoman and 2020 Democratic "candidate" Tulsi Gabbard gave on "Morning Joe" today. It covered a lot of subjects, but what people are really noticing is how Gabbard just flat refused to call Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, who genocides his own people, an enemy of the United States. She wouldn't even call Assad an "adversary." And she wouldn't admit Assad gassed his own people. And she wouldn't admit that Russia really seems to like her for the Democratic nomination. (It does!)

Kasie Hunt started the questioning, because she was just curious about that time Gabbard met with Assad, and how much Gabbard really supports him, which is kind of a common question. Gabbard traveled to see him in 2017, and weirdly, she came back trumpeting the very same propaganda about the Syrian civil war Assad has been propagating. (And who is Assad's ally in that fight? Putin!)

(SIDE NOTE: Have you guys seen Glenn Greenwald go on Tucker Carlson's white supremacist shouty show one million times in the past several months, to defend Tulsi Gabbard? Greenwald is totally cool with how Gabbard used to be majorly anti-gay, because she says that was wrong of her, and she's sorry. Pardon us, but as a gay person who possesses self-love, we like Democratic presidential candidates who didn't use phrases like "homosexual extremists" as recently as 2004, and who said in 2016 that her "personal" views are still anti-gay, and that she votes to support LGBT people now because she really hates the Muslims. And no, both-sides-ers -- PAGING GLENN -- that is not the same as a Democrat who used to be personally against marriage equality and then "evolved," but never led pitchfork brigades against the LGBT community. Anyway, our point in bringing up Greenwald going on Tucker to defend Tulsi Gabbard is to note that everything you've heard about the Horseshoe Theory is fuckin' TRUE, man.)

Hey, at least Gabbard was willing to disavow David Duke's endorsement of her on today's "Morning Joe." (Yeah, that happened. And honest to God, we have zero reason to doubt her condemnations of Duke. Or her condemnations of Nazi Richard Spencer, who's also totally into her for some reason. Probably economic anxiety. Anyway, the "alt-right" just really fuckin' loves Tulsi Gabbard, is our point.)

This is getting fugazi, even more so than the Fregosi Emerald:

1. I'll avoid upsetting Gabbard's few but ardent supporters and just say anyone that Greenwald supports

should get an extra dose of scrutiny, if not exclusion altogether.

2. Gabbard is supported by Putin and her views match Putin's.

3. I watched, and I understand why the Alt-Right loves her...

... she is strongly anti-NeoCon. And and the Alt-Right sees NeoCon = Jews. So Tulsi Gabbard is an ally.

I also think she came across to me as being extremely logical, very focused on trying to keep soldiers out of unnecessary wars, and a bit "on the spectrum" as they say. A little Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory.

She seems to have a inability for "reading the room". If she is, as I felt while watching, primarily focused on defending troops from bad choices for military deployment, and she sucks at reading the room, she's open to manipulation from Alt-Right types, and dictators, and acting in ways that confuses her real allies.

Which all makes her a bad candidate and leader, even if she is given the benefit of the doubt about all of the crazy interpretations of her last views, statements and actions.
