Gabbard, Perry Introduce Bill to Permanently End Warrantless Collection of Americans’ Emails

For anyone saying Gabbard is a Progressive and criticism against her comes from "centrists" or "the establishment," here's a wonderful writeup from SocialistWorker.org

An Islamophobic progressive?

Ashley Smith investigates the politics and record of one of Bernie Sanders' best-known supporters--and unmasks an anti-Muslim bigot and pro-war reactionary.*

Yet many liberals were befuddled by Gabbard's decision, just before going to Standing Rock, to interview with Donald Trump, apparently in the hopes of securing an appointment to his administration. CNN reported last month that the bigoted billionaire president-elect is considering her for positions in "the Defense Department, State Department and the United Nations."

Even more disturbing, The Hill reports that Steve Bannon, Trump's chief strategist and former head of the hard-right Breitbart News, set up Gabbard's job interview. The Hill quoted sources saying that Bannon "loves Tulsi Gabbard. Loves her. Wants to work with her on everything. She would fit perfectly too [inside the administration]. She gets the foreign policy stuff, the Islamic terrorism stuff."

This isn't a bizarre exception, either. Gabbard's long association with right-wingers led the Washington Post to dub her the "Democrat that the Republicans love and the DNC can't control."


This isn't a partisan issue. Gabbard is a reviled fringe figure with no support on either the left or right.

If the Socialist Worker is too far to the Left for you, here's a writeup from the right-leaning The Hill:

Gabbard meeting with Assad draws disgust from fellow lawmakers

Gabbard is a wackadoo. A bigot, a homophobe, an extremist, who supports Putin and Assad. Don't fall for this garbage.
