Remember Tulsi? Former representative from Hawaii, and a former Democrat candidate in the 2020 presidential race?
I started following her on Facebook, and she posts frequent videos giving her opinion on current events. In those videos, she talks absolute SHIT about the Biden administration. If you didn't see the "D" following her name, you'd think she was a Republican.
And, I keep seeing clips of her as a guest on Fox News . . . again, generally sounding like a Republican. Here's a random recent example:
She is kind of like Leo Terrel that is showing up on Fox a lot over the last couple of years.
They are moderate Democrats who are starting to realize just how off the rails the Democratic party has gone.
My problem with her is she is flat out nuts when its comes to Abortion, social programs, welfare and other favorite demo party areas. She is relatively conservative on the military, judges and others. Would like her more if she wasn't completely bonkers on some of those other topics. But she and Leo are exactly what the Demo party needs to pull them back to being reasonable. Maybe she can depose the fruitcakes running the party and bring some semblance of decency back. Time will tell.

She is the same as every other Democrat, and every other politician for that matter. She's as anti gun as they come. People who seek to infringe upon your rights hate your freedom, and by extension they hate YOU. Being marginally less of a psycho in other areas does not warrant her a single bit of praise. Don't let a pretty face or dragging her senile party leadership distract you from what she is. Fox News is no more of a conservative outlet than Tulsi is a conservative.
Here's a nice emotion filled, reactionary article SHE wrote on gun control.

Tulsi can shove that opinion, and the paper it's written on, up her ass. I am tired of the hand-wringers telling me there is always more to be done in the form of restricting my rights. That is exactly what they are doing, they are just painting a "public safety" face on it. These people won't stop until we are like England, or Australia where we need to keep our registered.22 LR rifles at a state approved gun club....
I will have to pass on that offer, Tulsi

She has to sell something to get elected. The politicians all have a “platform” which is a sales menu. Just like a car mechanic asking for your money in exchange for solving your car’s broken shock. The politician has to have something to sell. For Tulsi and the Democrats that currency is gun control, anti-capitalism, or some other pipe dream snake oil. She can’t say “Nothing needs more government intervention or attention, so vote for me and I’ll do nothing.” That is not a winning appeal to D voters who want the government to dictate every aspect of human life under the false promise of an easy stress free government-funded life.

She ran an anti-gay organization that her father founded.
She also voted “present” on the Trump impeachment fiasco.
Democratic opponents will use those as a litmus test.
She’s anti-2A, blames the US interference in Latin America for the immigration problems, and wants to end fossil fuel usage.
Republicans will use those as a litmus test.
She’ll ride her ‘credentials’ for talk show money, and be done.
*Edited to add: She seems well-spoken on a number of issues, so her narrow-mindednesses on some seems odd. I’d like to see Tucker, who’s pro-2A, ask her about her 2A position…

Agreed. I've seen her preach the constitution, so it seems weird that she'd be so pro-gun control.
And yeah, her non-communist views on some topics might cost her some Dem votes. She might also get the middle-of-the-road Dems fired up too, and if she's able to win a nomination then she might actually pull some Republican votes too, or at least cause Republicans to be less terrified (read: Biden) and more likely to stay home on election day.

Well said and your last comment is a good one. Might drop a note to Tucker and see if we can get him to ask her. Wouldn't it be interesting to see Mark Levin do a long form interview with her. Touch on a bunch of topics and see where she really is at.
As Steve said in the OP she is very well spoken on a couple of topics and actually makes sense. But there are just too many others where she is a typical Dem fruitcake.

She resigned her vice chairmanship at the Democratic National Committee in 2016 to endorse the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders, and said she had “great appreciation” for Mr. Sanders’s work.
Then, she dropped out of the 2020 race, and endorsed Biden, who many have said is being directed by Sanders/Obama.
I’m just not sure that her American-Samoan heritage, and being raised partially in the Philippines, makes her as Constitutionally-centered as she likes to represent.
My take is, she states things she doesn’t feel strongly about in a Constitutional framework for effect, but things most of us care about, she thinks they need ‘fixing’.
Hmmm, maybe I’m wrong.
Maybe the socialists are trying to get Fox viewers to like her, so she can be the prettier version of Bernie…
