Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) defended President Donald Trumps decision to fire two brothers at the National Security Council (NSC) and an ambassador on Friday in an interview on Fox News.
Late on Friday, news broke that the Trump administration removed Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and attorney Yevgeny Vindman from the NSC, and also recalled U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland.
You know, the president yesterday, as you probably know, Congresswoman, fired Gordon Sondland, our Ambassador to Ukraine, and Alexander Vindman, top security official, host Neil Cavuto said. A lot of people were likening it to another, you know, Friday night massacre akin to what Richard Nixon did back in the 70s. Do you agree with that?
Ultimately, whether people like or not, there are consequences to elections, Gabbard responded. And the president has, within his purview, to make the decisions about who hed like serving in his cabinet.

(11,605 posts)Did she vote for impeachment? If so, her comments make no sense and if not, she needs to be primaried. Actually, she needs to be primaried either way. It's one thing for a couple Democrats in very red districts to have voted against impeachment, but in Hawaii there's no excuse.

(803 posts)Good thing. She probably knows she would be primaried and loose. She has not been serving her state well. I have 2 sons and a husband that are veterans. They were really upset that being a veteran, she was not defending a war hero and a patriotic American. I have no respect for her at all.

(33,643 posts)Long story short, free ticket, work friend who happens to be the owners son ... he had a date cancel so I figured ... how bad could it be? He's supposedly very liberal, so ...
I couldn't sign my check for my 2 drink minimum and walk the FUCK out of that shitshow (mid-show) fast enough ... I didn't leave my 'date' alone, another friend was there, so ... I was friggin OUTTIE, and he knew why.
Anyways ... it was pretty much a love fest for Bernie, Tulsi, and Nina Turner. With big ups to the hero, Julian Assange, of course. But he KEPT praising Tulsi every chance he got. She might've actually gotten more love from him than Bernie.
And an absolute hate fest for The Democrats, Hillary, Pete, Nancy, Neera, Barack, and Elizabeth ... in descending order. They were all booed vigorously, Nancy was ridiculed by Dore for tearing up the speech ... He even bashed Michael Moore of all people ... on account of him praising Nancy for tearing up the speech. "What the fuck happened to that guy?!?" was the exact quote.
It was a fcking disgusting experience.
Maybe I'm not as 'liberal' as I once thought ...

(1,253 posts)She in no way "defended" it. She simply stated that the fact is Trump can do as he pleases in this regard. If stating the facts is somehow "defending" the act than simply stating that Trump is the president is "defending" his presidency.

(33,643 posts)She most certainly granted this move on shitheads part the imprimatur of approval by a Dem candidate for President.
To which I say ... FUCK THAT.
Saying 'he has every right to do this jacked up thing' ... is pretty DAMN close to 'defending'.
How about at MINIMUM pointing out that it was NO CLASS of him to bash the Lt. Col. publicly immediately after firing him?
Isn't she supposedly ... you know ... a VET herself?
She can fcuk right off.
