77. Tulsi's father was on local Hawaii TV

Thu Mar 7, 2024, 08:36 PM

Mar 2024

around 2014, and explained how years ago running as a republican for local office in Honolulu wasn't getting him elected, He said he decided to run as a democrat, because in blue Hawaii, he stated democrats typically win the office their seeking, and that's what worked for him.

He was born in American Samoa, and appeared to have a huge beef with the U.S. presence on the island going back to WWII. He said by winning as a democrat, he could work his republicanism into his job.

I think Tulsi carries on with his bitterness about how islanders were treated as her dad taught her, and suspect she is running his democrat to republicans crossover scheme.
