Suspicious anti-Kamala activity coming from Tulsi-supporting Twitter account

A suspicious Twitter account is exclusively tweeting against Kamala Harris today.
Its location is not specified.
Ms. Gabbard should explain whether her campaign is aligned with this account.
My guess is no. More likely coming from a foreign power:

it also endorsed a Republican running against Tammy Duckworth.

I don't know what's with that group but they're not making a lot of sense. The leader of the Hawaiian LGBT Caucus has spoken out against Gabbard. One thing he's still angry about is she refused to help a same-sex marriage bill get passed in Hawaii 5 years ago -- but Mazie Hirono and Brian Schatz did help.

“Just so you know the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) does not speak for the entire or even a majority of the LGBTQ community, especially after they endorsed Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth’s republican challenger for the US Sentate [sic],” Golojuch added in his email to Tsuji.

“The HRC has been out of step with local politics and needs,” Golojuch told MauiTime. He also said he felt insulted that “a straight person” would try to school the Caucus on who they should support. And, he added, the Caucus had “reached out to” Gabbard during the 2013 Legislative Special Session on same-sex marriage, only to be rebuffed. “We were told that Congresswoman Gabbard doesn’t get involved in state politics,” he said, though he noted that Representative Colleen Hanabusa and Senators Mazie Hirono and Brian Schatz had sent people to testify in support of the same-sex marriage bill.

The libertarian publication by the libertarian who backed Ed Snowden (in hiding still in Russia.)

Tulsi was not in her "youth" five years ago when she refused to help Mazie Hirono, Brian Schatz, and others get a same-sex marriage bill passed.

The link at your post appears reference a real concern by that group. One that most would have been non the wiser had you not posted it. It IMO it succeeds in stirring the pot on both candidates
