Gabbard Campaign to Protest CNN Townhall over New Hampshire Snub

[left-of-center2012]

Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D., Hawaii) is scheduling a protest outside the New Hampshire venue where CNN is hosting town halls ahead of the state’s primary next week, after Gabbard was excluded from the two-night lineup — despite out-polling townhall guests Andrew Yang, Tom Steyer, and Deval Patrick in New Hampshire.

Gabbard currently sits sixth in New Hampshire polling at 4.7 percent, while Yang polls at 3.7 percent, and Tom Steyer at 3.1 percent, according to a RealClearPolitics polling average. Patrick, who does not even register in the average, hit 0.4 percent in the most recent Boston Globe/Suffolk University New Hampshire poll.

“This attempt to silence Tulsi is bigger than one person — it’s our right as voters to hear from ALL the candidates, and to have our voices represented. No institution should be allowed to get away with censoring democracy: That’s why we’re standing up to CNN on Wednesday, February 5th, demanding that our voices be heard,” the Gabbard campaign told Fox News.

Gabbard told the network last week that she had reached out about being excluded, but had not received a response.

1. Will anyone notice?

[guillaumeb]

9. If a candidate falls in the forest, and no body is there to hear,

is there a sound?

[krissey]

2. Tulsi is doing Stein role. Stepping in periodically to cause problems for Democrats, then going away

Btw, the only two Tulsi supporters I know claim to be on the left and both have an issue with the Democratic party and have probably never voted for a Democrat.

[we can do it]

3. Who cares Traitor Tulsi?

4. This actually does seem unfair...

I’m not a Tulsi fan but the playing field should be as level as possible.

[Devil Child]

10. It is unfair.

One doesn't need to be a fan of hers to see it for what it us. Thanks for being open-minded to this JudyM.

7. Bonne chance Tulsi - Sarcasm.

Back to trolling for a spot on Faux.

8. Tulsi had a wee bump on DU last week, but it seems they've all gone back to Undecided again.

I'm almost sure it's all very sincere... rather than simply cowering behind a dramatic lack of conviction.

12. No "cowering behind a dramatic lack of conviction" here.

Been supporting Rep. Gabbard from the start of her campaign.
