When pressured on the question of his funding by US representatives of India’s fascist movement, the candidate [Sri Preston Kulkarni] resorted to strawman attacks on the individual who brought up the questions. #RSS @SriPKulkarni

On the issue of lockdown, @SriPKulkarni, yes, I have stated that it is being used by fascist regimes—like that of #Modi, a member of the RSS, whose representatives in the US are accused of pulling the strings of your campaign—to advance their authoritarian agenda.
@SriPKulkarni states that I have implied that his campaign is Islamophobic. I have not done so in the least. I have, instead, directly stated that his campaign is floated by US elements of the #RSS, the most radically Islamophobic organization in the world.
Where have I heard a "shoot the messenger" answer from a US congressional representative being questioned about #RSS links before?
#TulsiGabbard when asked about her #RSS links: "We stand for aloha. We stand for diversity. We stand for peace and bringing people together around these shared ideals of freedom and opportunity for all people. Thank you everybody for standing with me in this movement for peace."
