40. Clinton supporters can't win on the issues
Sat Apr 9, 2016, 05:59 PM

So they're trying to attack Sanders surrogate Tulsi Gabbard with baseless attacks.

The story referred to her was a BS story based on the absurd premise that members of the US House of Representatives like Congresswoman Gabbard are supposed to attend US Senate hearings, and if they don’t then they’re neglecting their responsibilities.

Obviously, the writers fail to understand that members of the U.S. HOUSE are responsible for taking part in U.S. HOUSE HEARINGS, and U.S. SENATORS are supposed to take part in certain U.S. SENATE HEARINGS or vice versa.

So the idea that Tulsi did something wrong because she “missed” a US Senate hearing when she is not even a US Senator is absurd on its face.
 
But of course reporters often ignore facts for sensational headlines. And of course Clinton's team is desperate so they dig up crap and try to sling it and hope it sticks.
