I also met with @BernieSanders before announcing my candidacy.

1. Don't forget - Tulsi Gabbard also met with Bashar Assad before announcing her candidacy, too.

[Fresh_Start]

2. this is like brett kavanaugh getting women to say he didn't sexually attack them

just because you didn't do something to everyone, doesn't mean you didn't do it to someone in particular.

[nycbos]

32. This was alerted on.

Typical.

[Zolorp]

3. Gabbard coming to his defense?

That'll help.

[BeyondGeography]

4. Tulsi was never going to be a meaningful competitor, Uncle Joe

[Uncle Joe]

7. Did Elizabeth ever come out before in regards to their private conversation? No,

only after Bernie took his first lead in Iowa with momentum on his side.

[BeyondGeography]

9. Oh, so he said it

We agree then.

[Uncle Joe]

10. The only thing we agree on is that it was a private conversation, other than that

all we have is "he said she said."

Furthermore it's very possible that both could be telling truth, just crossed communication lines.

[BeyondGeography]

14. That's possible, but this Tulsi Gabbard clip isn't helping your argument

It’s for the walks-on-water crowd.

[Uncle Joe]

17. It is what it is. n/t

[vsrazdem]

26. You're are giving her the benefit of the doubt. I'm not. It was dirty politics.

[ehrnst]

13. And she didn't after that either. Perhaps you are confusing her with people that she

knows, who she talked with, who were the ones who leaked this information.

Not Warren, however appealing the thought of that might be to some Sanders supporters.

Is that clearer?

You're welcome.

[vsrazdem]

27. So when a campainger for Bernie does some idiotic thing, it's all his fault, but when it's her

campaign, its just "people that she knows". Double standard.

[ehrnst]

15. Bingo.

[The Valley Below]

5. A defense provided by Tulsi Gabbard should be helpful. LOL.

[lapfog_1]

6. Big difference Tulsi

You were never a threat to win the primaries. Elizabeth Warren is. Bernie isn't stupid.

[scheming daemons]

8. If you're using Tulsi Gabbard as a defense of your candidate... you're losing.

[totodeinhere]

11. That's Bernie for you. He shows the greatest respect and support for everybody. n/t

[The Valley Below]

19. .

[totodeinhere]

21. I'm glad I gave you a good healthy laugh.

And after we get a nominee we all need to come together.

[LexVegas]

12. ...

[ehrnst]

16. What he said or didn't say to someone else, woman or man, isn't evidence

evidence of what he said or didn't say to Warren.

[vsrazdem]

28. There is no evidence of what was said period.

[ehrnst]

31. So you think neither Bernie nor Elizabeth's word is reliable?

And yes, the OP is presenting Tulsi's tweet as "evidence" for Sanders's statements.

[LanternWaste]

18. You're shooting for damage control, but you're only coming up with more damage.

I get it... we have to hang our hats on whatever's available. Even if it's Tulsi.

Imagine.

[ehrnst]

23. Especially presenting another woman saying, "He was not that way with me,"

as some sort of evidence that he could not possibly have said something different to another woman.

[TidalWave46]

20. This looks like an "I like beer. I really like beer." moment.

Wow.

[beastie boy]

22. How can I possibly doubt Tulsi's judgment?

Especially when it comes to running for President.

[OnDoutside]

24. Is that cos he knew you couldn't win, Tulsi ? Asking for a friend...

[Bradical79]

25. Maybe.

Though Gabbard has zero credibility on anything at this point.

[Hoyt]

29. Not a Sanders fan, but unless he told Warren that a woman should not run, I fail to see the issue.

Based upon history, it is clear that women presidential candidates have not done well. Not their fault, though.

Think we need to move on and elect a woman (although not a Warren fan either).

[awesomerwb1]

30. Tulsi??

Seriously, Tulsi?
