Tulsi Gabbard's Bitter Tweet

[Claritie Pixie]

Does this remind you of anyone?

Link to tweet

I have zero time for playing the victim.

Plus she said Americans First twice in the debate. Hmmm...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. It was her sister's tweet, but it was still too sour-grapey.

[Claritie Pixie]

2. When she retweeted it, became hers.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Oh, OK, I'm old so I don't know how Twitter works.

[Claritie Pixie]

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

I think that's worse.

[Cha]

27. How can you tell Gabbard

Retweeted it?

I was looking to see but it didn't pop out at me.

Thanks and Thanks for the tweet, too!

[Claritie Pixie]

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

Seems super shady to me. It could very well be Gabbard's own words, but by attributing it to her sister, she has wiggle room - she can say wasn't me.

You're welcome!

[Cha]

33. Thanks!

[crazytown]

35. "some people say"

[obamanut2012]

50. That's even worse than an RT imo

[obamanut2012]

49. 100% this

[BeyondGeography]

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

Warren didn’t interrupt and wasn’t called for long stretches of time.

[leftieNanner]

5. I do not like her

AT ALL.

[Green Line]

44. Neither do I

[MoonRiver]

57. Same here.

[mitch96]

58. If RT likes her, I don't........ nt

[trueblue2007]

63. Neither do I.

I don't trust her.

[femmedem]

6. My impression is that it was actually written by Tulsi's sister logged in to Tulsi's account.

Although some people have taken it as Tulsi quoting her sister.

[Claritie Pixie]

9. Either way - it has Tulsi's name on it. She owns it.

[obamanut2012]

51. It is on Gabbard's twitter, so it is hers

[femmedem]

56. I agree now.

I thought perhaps she'd remove her sister's tweet post-debate but it's still there.
I have a bad habit of always wanting to think the best of people.

[Goodheart]

7. Not good.

[TomSlick]

8. GROAN!

I'm sure they all thought they were mistreated. I hope the others are not so childish as to air their grievance.

[question everything]

10. Following Trump who always complain when things don't go his way

Buh Bye

[tishaLA]

11. Never mind that it's factually inaccurate.

[Claritie Pixie]

13. Good point.

[roody]

16. Someone will give us the numbers of minutes and questions.

[tishaLA]

23. There's already a thread about it

Based on info compiled by the WaPo. Sen Booker spoke more than anyone else, but the top several were very close

[OliverQ]

34. Gabbard got about 6 minutes 30 seconds.

Warren got about 9 minutes. Booker got the most time at 11 mins.


:large

[TexasTowelie]

46. I think it was correct for the first half of the debate.

Warren was selected to either answer questions or allowed to rebut five times while other candidates only spoke once. Warren had fewer responses in the second half while Booker and Castro were more engaged.

[madaboutharry]

14. That is an unfortunate tweet

especially since Gabbard held her own and did well.

Not a supporter but she did a good job with her answers.

[roody]

15. Tulsi was very much ignored.

The moderators are a joke.

[NYMinute]

22. Do you really think

she is a serious candidate to be POTUS?

[LovingA2andMI]

29. Hell No....

[Cha]

25. Not a good look for her sister to whine about Warren

getting all the attention.

[sheshe2]

32. Funny how she complains about who spoke more at the debate...

When in fact she refuses to debate anyone that runs against her for her Congressional seat since 2012.

[Cha]

37. OMG! I totally forgot about that..

Mahalo, she!

I'll be passing that on!

[sheshe2]

39. You are welcome, Cha.

[obamanut2012]

53. OMG I forgot that!

[OliverQ]

36. Good. Every answer was commenting on her military record.

She's awful. And facts prove you wrong. DeBlasio, Inslee, and Delaney were ignored. They were the bottom 3.

[obamanut2012]

52. Oh she was not

[Hoyt]

17. Absolutely not my choice for nominee, but would love to see Gabbard debate trump.

[Claritie Pixie]

19. Two Russian agents head to head. Interesting.

[crazytown]

38. На здоровье

[obamanut2012]

54. Well, she was vetted for a position in his Administration

So, it would probably not be much of a debate tbh.

[ecstatic]

18. Wow. That's so unprofessional. She should not let her sister

tweet from her official account.

[NYMinute]

20. It's not like she ever hoped to win

[Generic Brad]

21. Would Tulsi like some cheese with that whine?

If she felt she didn’t shine, that’s more on her than MSNBC.

[Cha]

24. But we know she served in the military, dammit!

[Claritie Pixie]

26. She's not fooling anyone.

[LovingA2andMI]

28. Who Cares....

WTF Tulsi Fake White Hair Streak - Sister thinks and for that instance, Tulsi either. In fact, she can GET LOST after this so-called race of hers - sooner than later.

[JI7]

31. but Putin is giving Tulsi a lot of support so that should make up for the sad

[Cha]

42. Gabbard's karma?

41. The plot thickens!

Quite a 180 when it comes to debates, dontcha think?

[Cha]

45. I'm thinking..

it's Gabbard's karma And yes, the former Debate Dodger is now doing a 180!

She wouldn't debate her primary opponents, Shay Chan Hodges or Sherry Alu Campagna, when they challenged her for her seat in Congress.. Two Outstanding Democratic leaders in Hawaii..

Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard dodges debate

I know they're noticing in Hawaii

[Skittles]

43. YUCK

[obamanut2012]

48. I had my one and only hidden post over Tulsi

And, it wasn't even bad, just stating a fact about her.

So I will not post what I want to.

[IluvPitties]

55. Paid by the right?

[Honeycombe8]

59. They gave the front runner more time? How unusual!

[Duppers]

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 it’s 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.

[Cha]

[Wounded Bear]

65. Whiners aren't winners...

[Duppers]

66. And there's her TRump bashing "Chicken Hawk" quote

"Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a veteran of the Iraq war and an active member of the Hawaii National Guard, accused Trump's "chicken hawk Cabinet" of leading the U.S. "to the brink of war with Iran" at the first Democratic primary debate on Wednesday."
