Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii) signaled she would be open to a role as former President Donald Trump’s vice president during a Friday interview on Fox News.

  • I hope all the dems that were supporting her in her 2020 run now see how completely foolish you were. This woman went from endorsing Bernie Sanders in 2016, to defecting from the Democratic party in 2022, to wanting to run alongside Donald Trump in 2024. Whether she is a Russian asset trying to undermine the leftist vote or just a completely wishy washy, backboneless, political- platform-changes-with-the-weather sort of politician, you should not be voting for her.

      As much as I despise Hillary Clinton, in hindisght I have to give the bitch her flowers for calling out Tulsi as a backdoor Russian asset. At the time I thought that was her just beating the war drums, and posturing because of her own political weakness. But every day that goes by it looks more and more plausible given the serious, nefarious nature of Russian interference in the US political system. At the end of the day though, her motivations are irrelevant. Anybody who supports Donald Trump is the enemy, and they are dead to me for life. Fuck Tulsi Gabbard.

    …and Kyrsten Sinema used to be in the Green Party.

    They have both apparently fallen on their heads.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “I would be open to that,” Gabbard told host Jesse Watters, when asked if she would consider a vice presidential slot.

    Former President Trump recently confirmed a list of names on his shortlist for vice president, including Gabbard, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and South Dakota Gov.

    The former president confirmed the names on his shortlist, but did not reveal when his running mate would be announced.

    Gabbard is also slated to be at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort next week, where she will headline a fundraiser for the 917 Society during a night “celebrating the Constitution,” according to an invitation shared exclusively with The Hill.

    Gabbard, also a former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, announced she was leaving her former party in late 2022, stating that it was “under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers who are driven by cowardly wokeness.”

    “If you can no longer stomach the direction that the so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, then I invite you to join me.”
