Tulsi did a good job dismantling that asshole, but she's gotta be thinking twice

[Sibelius Fan]

about dumping the Ds, registering as an Indy (Republican lite) and signing up with Faux News.

[Walleye]

1. I'm sure he didn't expect to be questioned like that on Fox News

And she did use some strong language, but to me she had him down and didn’t go in for the kill. At least she was able to articulate the idea of integrity. I don’t think many Republicans can do that

[relayerbob]

2. Nah, she's getting cash and attention

She’s likely quite happy in her current role.

[SMC22307]

3. Why do you think she's "thinking twice"? She's getting big bucks and attention. (n/t)

[UTUSN]

4. She actually shut him down when he tried to pin his lying on BIDEN/Dems, am impressed.

Oh, she's good at slicing and dicing - we've got the scars. But it's entertaining to see her aim her talent at a worthy target for a change.

[zonemaster]

5. No she's not

Don't expect any epiphanies. There's some calculation involved in giving it to GS.

It's very highly probable that she is the exact same P.O.S. now as she was last week. Anyone who has backslid as far as she has is in possession of some very serious character flaws. Those aren't going to get fixed on any timeline short of decades-to-forever.

[11cents]

6. Naw, come on. She was doing what her Fox masters told her to do.

She had no future in electoral politics and doesn't regret her paycheck one bit.

You don't freelance on Fox. Santos is a liability for the GOP. One supposition I've read is that it serves McCarthy's interest to have Santos' seat vacant during the leadership election -- reduces the number he needs to win by one, since what's needed is a majority of the votes of those present.

[Jade Fox]

7. She just stated the obvious.....

which these days sounds positively radical.

I doubt she'll change.

[Clash City Rocker]

8. Tulsi is "that asshole"

[Sanity Claws]

9. I don't think so

They're both being paid by the Russians. I think competing factions have arisen among the Russian oligarchs (jockeying to take over after Putin) and that each of these two guys is paid by a different faction.

[mercuryblues]

10. Well, I guess TG said something to somebody

that people care enough to post about. But don't care enough to post exactly what was said.

[Beartracks]

12. Good point. She stuck it to George Santos (R) on FOX. Link to other DU thread...

... which links out to clip from FOX and Brian Taylor Cohen's comments about it:

20. TY!

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

32. here is her interview with Liar Santos. a lil after 6:40 he says "way above American people's heads"

lol... her face says "wow"

[mercuryblues]

34. Thanks

She can't help herself, she had to bring up Bllumiethal, which was 23 years ago and it was blown out of proportion. IOW he got lazy in his speaking. Instead of saying during every time, he said "in" a few times.

Conn. candidate Blumenthal correctly spoke of service in same speech he wrongly stated it

A video clip from the speech posted by The New York Times shows Blumenthal saying he "served in Vietnam." But a longer version of the video posted by a Republican opponent also shows Blumenthal saying at the beginning of his speech that he "served in the military, during the Vietnam era."

Warren as liars. Warren's DNA test actually proved she has Native American ancestry. The real lie was Trump promising to donate 1 million dollars if she took a DNA test, and never did,

By the way, @realDonaldTrump: Remember saying on 7/5 that you’d give $1M to a charity of my choice if my DNA showed Native American ancestry? I remember – and here's the verdict. Please send the check to the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center: https://t.co/I6YQ9hf7Tv Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) October 15, 2018

Gee, it's almost like trump never existed or had a plethora of lies to choose from. for her to dig up the right wing smears on Blumenthal and Warren.

[Midnight Writer]

11. Santos was set up as a sacrificial lamb to boost Gabbard's "integrity".

He was surely expecting a friendly interview from his comrade. But now his identity has been compromised, so the best cover for his comrade is to attack him on the TV.

[Cha]

21. Whatever it takes to get rid of him..

So agree.. Santos did Not see That Coining.

[Beartracks]

13. Here's what this is about.

14. She is NOT a trustworthy person. I wouldn't even classify her as "republican lite". She is an

anti-gay anti-Muslim bigot.

It would be quite naive if anyone is conned by her criticism of George Santos.

She was one of the few pseudo-democrats who refused to impeach trump, which speaks volumes about her judgement or lack thereof.

She is an opportunist

These supposed "populist heroes" that some are eager to embrace fall into an "all or nothing trap", until these "pseudo heroes" expose their true colors.

Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Michael Avenatti, etc.

In her own words:

"I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are…"

The very fact that she cannot distinguish between which groups are the one's dividing the country, and which party tried to overthrow the government, speaks volumes where she is really coming from.

The fact that she was a featured speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), pretty much says it all.

[Cha]

22. Mahalo, John! I just appreciate that

for Whatever reason.. Santos did Not see that coming.

Obviously fox does Not approve of Santos' Flaunting his Lies about Everything.

[JohnSJ]

25. McCarthy will not ask him to step aside

[Cha]

27. Of course not.. at his own Peril. nt

[calimary]

38. Of course not. He can't afford to lose a single vote.

If the guy had just axe-murdered his own mother, Kevin would try to keep him onboard.

[betsuni]

28. It's that creepy left/right/whatever populist alliance they think is the future.

Of course Santos knew what questions Tulsi would ask, he was prepared. The occasional criticism of Republicans simply proves to viewers that Fox is a real fair and balanced news organization.

[JohnSJ]

29. Good analysis

[Carlitos Brigante]

15. Doubt it. Her big fat paycheck should take care of the slightest

bit of "remorse". Plus she's just probably mad at him for pretending to be be gay. Which I'm sure she finds super gross.

[GoodRaisin]

16. A former Democratic Candidate for POTUS now hosting on Fox News calling out a liar.

Pot and Kettle?

[Cha]

23. You can't make up this shit! nt

[calimary]

39. She was never part of the team in the first place.

[Wounded Bear]

17. Meh, she was always a DINO anyway...nt

[prodigitalson]

18. fuck a bunch of Tulsi Gabbard

[usonian]

19. You have to think once in order to think twice. n/t

[Locutusofborg]

24. She's dead to me

Not interested.

[LiberalFighter]

26. She doesn't have that capability to think twice.

[Deep State Witch]

30. Like Knows Like

One Russian asset to another.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

31. at 6:40 on attached video when he says "way about American people's heads"... the look on her face.

[Raine]

33. IMO she's doing exactly what they want her to. I think the GOP

wants him gone and she's doing their dirty work for them in getting the ball rolling for his exit.

[BlueTsunami2018]

35. She's making $2 million a year from Fox.

I doubt she regrets any of that.

[calimary]

40. She photographs well.

No one can tell how cold and dark her heart is, by looking at her. Probably does great on camera.

[BlueTsunami2018]

41. Yes, she's very attractive.

Physically anyway. But that only goes so far when you have an ugly heart.

[JI7]

36. She is a Right wing anti gay piece of shit

which she has always been.

[yardwork]

37. I doubt it - and she probably went after him only because he says he's gay.

Tulsi doesn't like gay people. I think it's that simple.
