Donald Trumps chief strategist Steve Bannon contacted Tulsi Gabbard to arrange Mondays meeting with the president-elect, according to a source close to Bannon.
He reached out to her, not vice versa, the source told The Hill on Monday.
Bannon, who hates the entrenched two-party system, has long admired Gabbard. Shes an Iraq War veteran with an independent streak. Bannon, a navy veteran, was drawn to her when she began publicly excoriating the Obama administration over its plan to defeat ISIS.
He loves Tulsi Gabbard. Loves her, a second source familiar with Bannons thinking told The Hill. Wants to work with her on everything.She would fit perfectly too [inside the administration], the source added. She gets the foreign policy stuff, the Islamic terrorism stuff.
Bannon appreciates Gabbards willingness to publicly criticize President Obama for refusing to name the enemy, radical Islamic terrorism. For him its a win-win when a Democrat is saying those things, said a third source, who used to work under Bannon at Breitbart News.

plus she's easy on the eyes. Hint to Tulsi: stay at least an arm's length away from the orange blob.
