Tulsi Gabbard Lost In The Forest!

Tulsi Gabbard finally exits the race.
The outgoing Hawai'ian lawmaker finally ended her charade

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) announced that she is dropping her bid to run for president and has formally endorsed Joe Biden.

The last female and person of color left in the race for the Democratic nomination, Gabbard was considered the most controversial figure in the race. She often tangled with Democrats and has been very critical of 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

"Today I'm suspending my presidential campaign and offering my full support to Vice President Joe Biden in his quest to bring our country together," said Gabbard in a video presser.

In endorsing Biden, Gabbard said that "although I may not agree with the vice president on every issue, I know he has a good heart, and he's motivated by his love for our country and the American people."





"I'm confident that he will lead our country guided by the spirit of aloha, respect and compassion, and thus help heal the divisiveness that has been tearing our country apart," she said.

Gabbard closely tied the reasons for her withdrawal from the race to be the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, saying that "the best way that I can be of service at this time is to continue to work for the health and well-being of the people of Hawai'i and our country in Congress, and to stand ready to serve in uniform should the Hawai'ian National Guard be activated."

Gabbard born in American Samoa is an outgoing U.S. Representative who served two tours of duty in the Middle East with the Hawai'i Army National Guard -- in Iraq from 2004-2005 and in Kuwait from 2008-2009 -- and stepped away from her campaign in August to report for active duty, participating in a two-week joint training exercise in Indonesia.

She is the third longest running presidential candidate.

Gabbard left a trail of controversy. She had little to lose in this quest. She formally announced that she was not seeking reelection. She was facing a primary challenger who was hoping to take her down.

She spread Russian talking points about Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee. Gabbard called Clinton the "Queen of Warmongers" when the former Democratic nominee for president went on a podcast with claims that Russia and the Republican Party is "grooming" a candidate to become a spoiler in the race. Gabbard sued Clinton for $50 million for slander.

Gabbard was anti-Muslim and had criticized Barack Obama's responses to the Islamic State.

She was a backer of the dictator Bashar Assad of Syria. She supported the Syrian military strikes on the Kurdish forces. She wanted the United States to stay out of the Syrian affair.

She was then a Republican who preached anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. She supported controversial religious leaders and a Hindu nationalist. She won praise from Ann Coulter, Gavin McInnes, David Duke and other white extremists.

Gabbard, then co-chair of the DNC endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the 2016 Democratic Primaries. She got into a feud with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), then chairwoman of the DNC over how the primaries were ran. Gabbard shortly resigned from the DNC after endorsing Sanders.

Her support for Biden became the latest blow to the weaken Sanders. He is still "assessing" his campaign. The brutal defeats in Washington, Florida, Illinois and Arizona has Sanders considering conceding the race as well. He still hasn't confirmed whether he'll continue any further. His supporters are still trolling online.

It's ironic. She voted "present" in the impeachment of Donald J. Trump. She still endorsed Biden despite Trump's wooing her to become a Republican. That present vote did hurt her standing with Democrats.

She only had at least three appearances on the debate floor. Gabbard did managed to hurt the campaign of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-HI) during one of the debates.

Matter of fact, the bots and trolls are criticizing Gabbard for endorsing Biden over Sanders.

Now Gabbard is likely to head over to Rupert "Pervert" Murdoch's Fox News as a contributor.

Gabbard has appeared on Sucker Tucker and Sean "Softball" Hannity's shitshows. She has been very vocal about the Democratic Party.
