Daily Beast: Why conservative media loves Tulsi Gabbard for President
https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-conservative-media-and-the-far-right-love-tulsi-gabbard-for-president?fbclid=IwAR1GBe7fuSDIwiw-AkaeslFMjbA4BKBH_lG_FnpXobHULgGyjMIp8r-W5J4Since taking office in 2013, Gabbard, 37, has established a reputation as an unorthodox politician. While holding familiar Democratic positions on environmental issues, health care, and gun control, Gabbard was a frequent critic of President Obamas foreign policy, met with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, and has questioned whether he used chemical weapons on his own citizens.
SNIP
One person with direct knowledge told The Daily Beast that in the wake of her Obama criticism of Obama, Gabbard became an increasingly requested guest for Fox News hosts and producers to appear on-air. They werent the only ones in television news who took notice: senior executives at Sinclair Broadcasting made appeals for Gabbard to appear on their networks after she rebuked Obama.
And her emergence as a left-wing Obama critic further put Gabbard on the map in conservative media.
SNIP
He loves Tulsi Gabbard. Loves her, a person close to Bannon told The Hill at the time. Wants to work with her on everything. The person added that Gabbard would fit perfectly too [inside the administration] She gets the foreign policy stuff, the Islamic terrorism stuff.
Richard Spencer, a white nationalist and alleged domestic abuser who has called for peaceful ethnic cleansing, has tweeted multiple times in support of Gabbard. David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan leader and current racist, has also heaped praise upon her.
I WONDER WHY PEOPLE LIKE STEVE BANNON WANT THIS PERSON TO BE OUR NOMINEE?

I guess there's a certain Trump supporting group that wants all the bases covered.

That's worrisome.
