Tulsi Gabbard: Where does this presidential hopeful stand on the issues?
Tulsi Gabbard, an Iraq War veteran, four-term congresswoman and “rising star” in the Democratic Party, is one name on a long list of hopeful Democrats who seek to unseat President Donald Trump.
The party has been grappling with infighting when it comes to freshman members at a time when it’s ratcheting up congressional investigations into Trump. But Gabbard is no stranger to taking sharp jabs at the president, once calling him “Saudi Arabia’s bitch” over his failure to condemn the country’s involvement in the murder of Washington Post journalist and Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi.
The one main issue "central to the rest," Gabbard said was"war and peace." She was one of the first female combat veterans and was the first Hindu elected to Congress in 2012. If elected to the White House in 2020, Gabbard would become the youngest American president; she will turn 39 in April, 2020.
But since announcing her candidacy, the Hawaii Democrat has also faced controversy, forcing her to apologize for prior homophobic remarks and face backlash over comments that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is not the"enemy of the United States, because Syria does not pose a direct threat."
