You want Tulsi to replace her as well?

Tulsi

3. Why does Tulsi Gabbard support anti-immigrant and anti-refugee policies?


The second Congressional District of Hawaii is known for aloha, acceptance, and support of diversity. Our district’s first representative was Patsy Mink, the first woman of color in Congress. Thirty years later, we sent Mazie Hirono, a Buddhist and an immigrant, to DC. And Congresswoman Gabbard herself was the first Hindu in Congress.


As a progressive, and as stated on his website, Bernie Sanders “opposes Republican-led efforts to block Syrian refugees from coming to the US and says the US, Europe, and the Persian gulf states have a moral obligation to welcome Syrian refugees.”

•Yet on November 19, 2015, Gabbard voted with 46 Democrats and 242 Republicans to pass HR 4038 - the American SAFE Act of 2015, to institute a stronger screening process for refugees from Iraq and Syria who apply for admission to the U.S.


•Previously, in 2014, Gabbard called for visa waivers to be curtailed from European countries with “Islamic extremist” populations - specifically Britain, Germany, and France. (A year later, Donald Trump called for a ban on Muslims entering the US.)



More recently, Gabbard seems to be modifying her views on international policy and inclusiveness, presenting a message of aloha and progressive anti-war values in her March video supporting Bernie Sanders, “The Cost of War.”


Which leads me to a fourth question: What does Tulsi Gabbard really stand for?


As the mother of two sons who are old enough to join the military and are voting for the first time this election, these questions are not theoretical. They require answers — not carefully-crafted imagery.
