In reply to the discussion: Tulsi Gabbard's Bitter Tweet [View all]Duppers
(28,094 posts)60. She did correct Ryan on Iraq, an important pt.
She was right here:
"Tim Ryan incorrectly said the Taliban carried out the 9/11 attack. Gabbard quickly responded."
She corrected him: Al-qaida carried out the attack, not the Taliban. And Ryan maintained that we need a presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, Tulsi disagreed.
So, BRAVO to her for that stance!!
She tweeted:
"We are in Afghanistan & Iraq where we have lost so many lives and spent so much $ that should be going into our communities here at home. This is why its so important to have a commander in chief who knows the cost of war."
No, I am NOT supporting her candidacy but rather just stating that she has made some good points - much more so than Ryan.
If I were to vote in a presidential

Actually - she didn't retweet. Her sister's words, directly from her account.

I wasn't correct. It's a tweet directly from her, but her sister's words (supposedly).

I bet Gabbard had just as much airtime as Warren in the Todd/Maddow portion
