Tulsi failed Clinton’s test
It’s just too easy to use Hillary Clinton as a foil but really, Tulsi, that was childish.
Hillary made a statement. Her statement was in fact true. Russian bots and trolls are actively pushing Tulsi Gabbard — whether it’s with her permission or not — and there was no accusation that this was something that Tulsi was part of, rather more like the Russians are at it again and this is who they are pushing.
Calling Hillary a warmonger was wrong. First, she really is not one. Second, based on the information when she voted for troop deployment it was because everyone who voted for it had been duped and given misinformation. Information that would have changed their votes was withheld. So put the blame on the right person. In this case, Bush and Cheney.
But back to Tulsi.
She owes Clinton an apology and the sooner she does so the better this will look. Instead of attacking the messenger, Clinton, Tulsi missed a golden opportunity to attack the problem.
The problem is the current administration is doing nothing to protect us from outside meddling by foreign interests in our elections. Tulsi probably is not a part of this scheme but that will not prevent the Russians from trying to manipulate voters and indirectly Tulsi herself.
Clinton was pointing out what is happening. She was right and rather than take the baton, Tulsi grabbed it to club Clinton. Exactly what Russia wants? Maybe. They want chaos.
Tulsi, however, did demonstrate one thing clearly. She lacks the temperament to be President of the United States of America.
This was a letter to the editor in our local paper. Good one!
