Neil Abercrombie calls on Tulsi Gabbard to resign from Congress

[RandySF]

Former Gov. Neil Abercrombie is calling on Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to resign from her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, telling reporters today that her missed votes and absence form her district were “unacceptable.”

Abercrombie is a c0-chair of State Sen. Kai Kahele’s campaign to claim Gabbard’s House seat, though he said that he was speaking in his personal capacity as a former member of Congress.

Abercrombie served nine terms in the House, from 1993 to 2010, when he resigned to run for governor.

Gabbard announced in October that she would not seek reelection to her House seat next year and instead would focus on her presidential bid. Her term runs through the end of 2020.

Gabbard has missed about 90% of votes in the House since October, according to GovTrack.us. She recently rented a house in New Hampshire where she is focusing on drumming up support in the early voting state.

15. Laughing out loud

just try that with any other job and see how long before you are thrown out on your ass......what a sleaze.......

Just tell your boss you aren't quitting for another full year, but don't plan on working during that time......and that you expect full pay and full benefits during that time.....

Not to worry, she has Fox News and Putin to rely on..........

3. at least trump spends all day doing something work related - tweeting. tulsi? not that much nt

[guillaumeb]

4. Define work related, as Trump sees it.

Does that work include watching Fox News?

[Maven]

5. Good.

She is just biding her time to run an independent spoiler campaign.

[NoMoreRepugs]

6. Seriously, who supports and follows this twit Gabbard??

[Marcuse]

7. There are a few.

9. I like some of her anti-war positions

But I certainly don't support her. A broken clock is right twice a day.

[Lucky Luciano]

10. That's about where I am as well. nt

[tenderfoot]

8. Thanks for calling this grifter our Hillary.

[sandensea]

11. I say she should run for a seat

in the Russian Duma.

What a disappointment.

12. is tulsi's campaign financed by putin's money?

She has largely troll support and some support from non-registered dems. Clinton warned us and, the media needs to do some investigative journalism. Her ultimate goals is probably fox news personality, she may want a position in trump admin also. Hillary is almost always right and she is always very careful with her words. When she said (tulsi) is a russian agent, meaning she has been recruited by russian intelligence service, you bet she has some solid inside info to back it up.

19. I bet she and Bill still get

National security reports. Maybe that is where Hillary found out about deeper connections.

13. her 'present' vote on impeachment

should be enough to convince her to resign. What a cowardly, gutless move!

16. Meanwhile, here's a REAL Democrat running for her seat.

Kai Kahele - currently a state senator from the Big Island.

18. Missed 90%? So, she ran for Congress to run for president, even though

She's done nothing in Congress.

[AlexSFCA]

21. she is too busy stopping "regime changes" lol

[hlthe2b]

22. I honestly don't understand Democrats who support her. I've tried. I don't get it.
