Sanders surrogate Tulsi Gabbard: 'I’m not prepared’ to back Clinton
By Mark Hensch

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) says she is not abandoning Bernie Sanders to endorse Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary.

“I’m not prepared to do that,” she told CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer Friday when asked if she would back Clinton. "There are a number of issues that I am concerned about and I look forward to discussing with you again in the future.

“There are a lot of things I’m looking at. In particular, this issues that [Clinton] has not moved on at all in this campaign, which is this commitment to continue this interventionist regime change policy in Syria that is proving so disastrous.”

Gabbard also refused comment on whether Sanders is overstaying his welcome in the presidential race.
