"@lhfang also pointed out that... @JoeBiden has also 'embraced & praised' #Modi."
Yeah. That's why @theintercept reported on hiring of @a_jan, son of @ofbjp_usa co-founder.
But protest against #TulsiGabbard is about way more than "praise" of Modi.

@JoeBiden may "embrace & praise" #Modi, but no one accuses him of outright supporting his Hindu nationalist #BJP by speaking at (& funding) its events in US — or of blatantly legitimizing Nazi-inspired #RSS paramilitary by repeatedly speaking at its events alongside its leaders.
#TulsiGabbard, on the other hand, has done all that, + hosted #RSS/#BJP spokesperson @rammadhavbjp at her wedding, + shared stage w/VHP (RSS's religious wing) leaders like Ashok Singhal, who said #Modi's Gujarat Pogrom was an experiment that should be repeated all over India.
Have you ever heard speakers at @ofbjp_usa repeatedly praise @JoeBiden for his efforts in the Senate to ensure #Modi & the #RSS's violence weren't censured in US Congress before his election in 2014? They've praised #TulsiGabbard for that — & called for donations to her for it.
#TulsiGabbard has received a congressional career total of $169,527 from 54 identifiable #RSS in America executives (like Ramesh Bhutada, vice president of RSS's int'l wing in US) — + $100s of $1000s from others at fundraisers hosted by those same execs.
