And I'll note that my concern is less her personal ideology and more her willingness to say whatever for personal advancement. I'm a resident of her state and thus have followed her career for a long time. She's bounced between ideologies back and forth based on whatever would advance her career at the moment. If I had to guess I'd say this current incarnation might be more legit than others (she was raised conservative and 9/11 occurred during her formative years), but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this is just what's useful to her right now.
Not that it did much good or deserves praise, but there was resistance to fabricating the WMD intel for Bush and some limitations on what they were willing to say (even while participating in a deadly deception). I don't think Gabbard will have any resistance at all. Putting a charismatic liar who likes to be in front of the camera in a position that can influence military action (and which is most visible when military action is happening) with little risk of the public being able to check her facts is terrifying.
The fact that Mitch McConnell voted against her is another point in her favor, but I'll wait to see what she actually does before passing any judgements.
That's an incredibly dumb way to judge nominees. Do you think Hegseth is somehow a good Defense Secretary? Or RFK is a good Health Secretary?
One fash voting against them doesn't somehow imply they have a potential for good in them. Bad people oppose other bad people all the time. And I've been seeing what she does for over a decade. Tulsi is very much a bad person.
