Last September, @TulsiGabbard gave a wide-ranging and candid interview to @joerogan, covering everything from foreign policy to the drug war. Thread of highlights starts here with her comments providing critical context on North Korea and Kim's behavior
Tulsi Gabbard on why the US maintains a disastrous policy of regime change and supports the sadistic war in Yemen: military industrial complex profits and Saudi ties
Tulsi Gabbard on the narrow viewpoint promoted by corporate media and the opportunity presented by alternative media sources like @jimmy_dore
Tulsi Gabbard on the bipartistan "hysteria" in Washington for a military campaign against Iran
Tulsi Gabbard on the establishment freakout over Russian interference and the ignorance of American exceptionalism: "we've been doing the same thing in other countries for a long time, both overtly and covertly, through disinformation campaigns..."
Tulsi Gabbard on how members of both parties are stripping away regulations imposed after the Wall Street bailout and the scourge of Wall Street money in Washington
Tulsi Gabbard on the evils of private for-profit prisons, the "broken criminal justice system" and the need for criminal justice reform
Tulsi Gabbard on need for federal marijuana legalization to undo the devastating social costs of the war on drugs
It's clear to me that Gabbard is being caricatured by an intellectually dishonest element with ulterior motives. So I thought it would be useful to hear her in her own words. There may be legit criticisms still but I think her presence on the debate stage will be refreshing.
