Trump just defended Tulsi Gabbard at his Mississippi rally, telling the crowd: “I don’t know who Tulsi Gabbard is, but I know she’s not a Russian agent.”

Democrat Tulsi Gabbard Defends 'Frank and Positive' Trump Meeting

Nov. 21, 2016, 6:24 PM CST / Updated Nov. 21, 2016, 6:24 PM CST
By Alex Seitz-Wald

On its face, Monday’s summit at Trump Towers between President-elect Donald Trump and Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard makes little sense.

Hawaii was Donald Trump’s single worst state (he got only 29 percent of the vote) and it’s by far the country’s most racially diverse, with whites making up about only one-quarter of the population.

But in a statement after the meeting, Gabbard, who has often challenged President Barack Obama on national security, said she held a "frank and positive" conversation with the President-elect, discussing Syria and other foreign policy issues.

Gabbard, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, also said she and Trump discussed legislation that she is pushing that would end what she described as "our country's illegal war to overthrow the Syrian government."......................................
