Tulsi Gabbard Defends Trump Firing Vindman Brothers

[RandySF]

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) defended President Donald Trump’s 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 he’d like serving in his cabinet.”

1. Her comments are disgusting. Kissing the ass of the Fox people I suppose.

[PatSeg]

34. I picture her sitting by the phone

waiting for Fox to call and offer her a job.

[Docreed2003]

36. I don't think that's too far fetched

Her agenda seems to be more oriented with pleasing that crowd that it is with advancing the Democratic Party.

[PatSeg]

37. She is a con artist and an opportunist

She used the Democratic party to get to Washington, but eventually she showed her true colors.

[squirecam]

2. Consequences to elections?

This one is trouble for our unity.

[democrattotheend]

28. That's a GOP talking point

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.

[PatSeg]

35. She voted "present"

The only one in the House to do so. She's a con artist.

[Cha]

3. jhc.. anyone going to "defend" gabbard saying 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 he’d like serving in his cabinet.”

[msongs]

4. tulsi is available for the jobs. she certainly is doing much if anything for hawaii nt

[Corgigal]

5. Holy shit.

A flipping veteran said this?

She doesn’t serve America. Disgusting.

[AZ8theist]

6. Why are we even bothering with this fucking DINO????

[still_one]

26. First of all I wouldn't refer to her as a DINO. She is far worse

[dalton99a]

7. NEXT: Tulsi Gabbard agrees that House Managers should be in jail.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. She would, wouldn't she?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

9. Gabbard needs to drop out of the race....

And be primaried in Hawaii.

Yes, she is a Veteran. But she is not doing the Democratic Party anything of substance by her words or actions.

[11cents]

15. She soesn't need to be primaries-- she's not running for re-election

She's got to free herself up for that Kremlin-boosted 3rd-party run that she said she wouldn't do, but she's lying filth so she will. To the cheers of the "Sarandon left." I

[SCantiGOP]

29. I think she is running

For a job at FOX news. They need a token brunette to go with all the blonde bomb throwers.

[Desert grandma]

18. I heard that she was not going to run for re-election.

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.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. Excuse me. I have to leave the room a minute. Gas.

[Lunabell]

11. Am I allowed to ask if she's really a Democrat?

She doesn't act like one.

[still_one]

27. That is the elephant in the room.

[Lunabell]

32. I know Bernie isn't a Democrat, but

he's what I want the Democratic party to be.

[OliverQ]

12. I hate Tulsi so much.

She has the audacity to constantly talk about her military status, but she can't even defend a purple heart recipient. She's not a Democrat. She needs to just switch parties already.

[kcr]

13. The chance she'll be our VP and therefore possibly our president

are going up every day. Just a reminder that doesn't nearly get the attention it should be getting.

[mr_lebowski]

14. I'm going to make a more detailed post about this, but I just came from 'The Jimmy Dore Show' ...

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 ...

17. Or else you're not on Putin's payroll

There's nothing left about these people; they're crypto-fascists. And ther's way too many people running the Sanders campaign who are in the same orbit.

[Indepatriot]

16. Misleading headline on OP

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.

[kcr]

19. That is some weak sauce spin.

[mr_lebowski]

20. By refusing to criticize a move that was so obviously deplorable in the case of the Vindmans

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.

[Cha]

21. gabbard on the Democratic Party..

[Indepatriot]

22. show me where she "defended" those actions.

she stated, quite correctly, that elections have consequences, and that Trump is able to do as he pleases in this instance. I saw no defense or approval of the move. Just the facts. By all means,keep clutching those pearls...

[SKKY]

23. She's not wrong. And unless we have a massive get out the vote...

...movement for the general, the consequences for this one will be horrific. Of all the messed up stuff Gabbard has said, this seems like the most sane to me.

[secondwind]

24. WHY is this woman still relevant??!!??

[BlueMTexpat]

25. This woman is not only a DINO,

but not credible in any way whatsoever.

[Cha]

30. To me it sounds like she's "normalizing" the treasonous asshole from hell.

Link to tweet

[Bev54]

31. But of course she does

Anybody expecting anything different from her?

[Dem2]

33. Am I allowed to call Gabbard a troll?

Because she sure seems like one at times...
