[Thread] My new @MintPressNews article analyzing Tulsi Gabbard's Metamorphosis from anti-war progressive to defending drone strikes on civilians on Fox News.

@MintPressNews In recent weeks, Tulsi has appeared almost daily on Fox News, where she has celebrated the Rittenhouse verdict and the GOP Virginia win, attacked Biden's "open door" borders and warned against the "far-left" Democrat Party pushing a "cradle to grave mentality of dependency."

@MintPressNews In the last month, she's appeared on Fox shows Tucker Carlson Tonight, Hannity, Gutfeld!, Neil Cavuto Live, Fox News Primetime, The Next Revolution with Steve Hilton, and Watters World. She hasn't appeared on any other network.

Here she is defending the drone strike which killed 10 civilians (including children) to a surprised Tucker Carlson.

"Islamist jihadists are continuing to wage war against us...We have to work to defeat them militarily" she said, as if those kids were terrorists.

This is a far cry from how she presented herself as a strong, anti-war progressive from 2016-2020.

But behind the scenes, she was connecting with the elite.

E.g., here she is at the Christians United for Israel gala, sharing a stage with Sheldon Adelson

@FluorescentGrey “We’ve seen a near-180 from Tulsi Gabbard this year. Her opinions on many subjects are now indecipherable from Fox News — which is why they’ve been inviting her on regularly,” - @LeeCamp

@FluorescentGrey @LeeCamp Her ties to the far-right Indian paramilitary, the RSS - a group likened to the KKK which has been responsible for thousands of racist/religious murders - are also deserving of scrutiny.

Here's key RSS man Ram Madhav at her wedding.
