(359 posts)Gabbard was the first Democrat who rushed to Trump Tower to congratulate the then president-elect, hoping to be named Sec. of State.
She has been an Assad apologist--not a "right-wing talking point"--but the reality-based truth.
Gabbard supports the near-fascist RSS Hindu Nationalists in India who have massacred Muslims.
Her anti-Muslim (and anti-gay) attitudes flow from her upbringing in an extremist off-shoot of the Hare Krishnas led by cult-leader Chris Butler called the Science of Identity Foundation.
