Rep. Tulsi Gabbard On America's Role In The World

[@ronh1850]

Tulsi just oozes a calm strength with nerves of steel, probably forged by actual combat. She has extreme patience in dealing with these establishment talking heads and their idiotic questions.

Bernie needs to parrot her foreign policy beliefs because clearly she's correct and her foreign policy views are popular on both sides but Republicans especially would never support someone in a cult with directions from their leader to insert themselves into governments around the world.

Well done Tulsi. You kept calm throughout that whole biased affair. Shame on you Colbert.

I feel like the bias was towards his own beliefs. That was a good point about "If we don't intervene, China and Russia will". And she said she won't intervene for regime changes that enact and force democratic views, but instead just strengthening the relationship by helping only from what they ask of the US.

[@truthbrotha1244]

nucksfordacup Force democratic views? Read some history of US intervention, because you sound like a dunce. The US has overthrown democratically elected governments to put in place its own dictator puppets, time and time again. In fact, the US is trying to do it again in Venezuela. Maduro is not a popular leader, but he was elected through a democratic election. Plenty of US presidents who weren’t popular, but were elected through democratic elections. Facts.

Compare this with his interview of Kirsten Gillibrand - very instructive. Did Colbert lead with highlighting her past as a lawyer defending tobacco company Phillip Morris' denial of connection btwn smoking and cancer? No, he gave her a comfortable platform asking what her first act as president would be, set her up to contrast herself with Trump, asked about how she will unite us around shared values, etc... The good thing about this is how sloppily the whole thing is executed - hopefully the clumsy attempt at propaganda backfires and expands the audience for Gabbard's analysis.

[@jojodelacroix]

Honestly, thanks for leaving a constructive comment. I love Colbert, and still do, but I see his flaws. His foreign policy, which is on full display here, is probably his furthest right position. Anyhow, everyone else is just yelling "Corporate shill" and getting like 400 likes. You actually detail a real problem-- how Gillibrand and Tulsi were treated differently-- and gave actual examples. Still, though, I don't think he's doing this as some form of propaganda. These beliefs are internalized, but I guess that's what makes it so scary really. Good on you though for actually offering constructive feedback.

Ryan S Tulsi's creepy right wing cult affiliation though would be a problem if she won the primaries. I love her stance on foreign policy but there's no way she would win the presidency. A vote for her will be a vote for Trump. America wouldn't elect a member of Camp David or Scientology anymore than it would someone who's part of the SIL. Bernie needs to parrot her foreign policy beliefs because clearly she's correct and her foreign policy views are popular on both sides but Republicans especially would never support someone in a cult with directions from their leader to insert themselves into governments around the world. You can see, she went on Tucker and he was all supportive of her- as if he doesn't know about the cult stuff. So, all these republicans on the thread of course are supportive of her too cause the Fox News hosts told them to be. Fox is terrified of Bernie because he is the most popular in the polls so they're trying to split the progressive vote by acting like they support Tulsi and Yang (who isn't progressive but people say so). Then when Tulsi beats Bernie cause progressives split the vote, it will be non-stop 24 hr "Fox breaking news" reports on Tulsi's continued ties to the cult. There's enough info to give them a new story a day. So of course CNN and MSNBC will talk non-stop about Fox attacking Tulsi for her cult affiliation, Trump attacking Tulsi for her cult affiliation and in doing so giving their viewers more info about her ties to this right winged cult. Tulsi would absolutely lose. She would be done; MSM will destroy her like they did Hilary. Splitting the progressive vote will get Trump re-elected. A vote for Tulsi will be a vote for Trump. That's just the reality- I'm very, very liberal- and the more I learned about the cult and her ties to it, it creeped me out. #Bernie2020

Well if you were someone accumulating evidence about when media figures advocate for foreign military interventionism, this episode of Colbert Show would be another example. Notice the common thread is NOT left/right, it is pro-war vs. anti-war or pro/anti foreign interventionism. Trump gets called a racist puppet of Putin and progressive anti-war candidates like Tulsi are painted as uncaring about war crimes committed by Assad. One point of disagreement with Tulsi is whether the chemical weapons attacks are a hoax or not. The White Helmets are NOT neutral and could likely be fabricating it. Reminder that BOTH Iraq wars 1 & 2 were based on hoaxes; Kuwaiti babies killed in incubators and lies of collaboration gained from torture with missing WMDs. These hoaxes led to the Iraq wars that killed tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians. Now the so-called chemical weapons attacks are used to justify invasion of Syria. Not buying it myself. Tulsi may be trying to avoid seeming paranoid, but it seems when it comes to hoaxes used to start wars she may have a case of amnesia.

@Eric Wood 'Pro life' includes all lives, INCLUDING (but not limited to) the unborn. Unfortunately, the phrase has come to mean 'pro death' in every other case.

[@joshuajosephson7313]

@Eric Wood The word 'pro life' is a label Evangelical 'Christians' throw around. They are not good people, and their voting habits have resulted in the deaths of millions, and have given us Trump. They're always 'pro death penalty', often support torture and oppose social programs that save lives, etc. etc.. No need to go on because, if you call yourself 'pro life', chances are you'd never listen to me anyway. That's just the reality. I am truly pro-life, meaning I care about ALL life.

[@joshuajosephson7313]

@Eric Wood But I don't go around blabbering about it (telling everyone I'm 'pro life') because good people just don't usually do that.

[@joshuajosephson7313]

@Eric Wood Just stay away from me. After being raised by Evangelicals, I know from whence I speak. Your language gave you away, and you made 0 effort to hide your sickness. You are PRO DEATH just as I had assumed.

[@joshuajosephson7313]

@Eric Wood I suspect, like most Evangelical 'conservatives', you probably have a meth addiction (porn addition, etc.) that you hide under layers and layers of religious fraudulence (I have NOTHING to hide). Remember, I have known people like you for over a half century.

Like many of you, I am rewatching this, 5 years later, following Colbert's unflattering mention of Gabbard in his monologue last night. Now, I am a faithful Dem who, like Stephen, is feeling pretty crushed by the 2024 election results. And I am also a Stephen loyalist. But from watching this interview here -- which Stephen referred us all back to last night -- I don't see the basis for his knocking her "intelligence." The only point of contention I see in this interview is opposing views of policy, i.e., Isolationist vs. Interventionist. Regardless of which side of the policy line one stands on -- and disregarding my personal views of Bashar al-Assad and of Gabbard [hint: I'm not a fan of either] -- I don't see her coming across as unintelligent.

[@d5486]

Same.

[@coffeemug3009]

Same here. All I can see is Colbert's comment abt Gabbard is rooted in mysogyny against women. Just because she is not a democrat & has a different point of view abt war, doesn't mean it is free for men like Colbert to call her bimbo. It's just disgusting.

[@Orchidaceous1]

Go to three minutes in, where she says that dictators need to be left alone. She was already on the payroll, apparently. This woman has always been creepy and shady to me. Now I know that even the FBI agrees. She’s not going to have a background check because they know she can’t pass it.

[@gwenroberts8649]

Politicians met with Putin and Khruschev and Kim Jong Un. You give her grief about Bashar al Assed? She's on the House Armed Services Committee! Why so hostile, Stephen?

[@KomodoDojo]

It's fine to ask the question. Tulsi gave the perfect response.

why does she only get 8 mins? Cory Booker had double the time

[@babyjocko2452]

Because Tulsi is the biggest threat to the establishment, including Colbert. Yes, even more so than Bernie. She clearly threatens the military industrial complex, which is by far the largest recipient of US revenue.

[@karenKristal]

Booker needed 8 minutes to actually say anything. At least this lady can answer a question.

[@marcoortiz8046]

Baby Jocko- agree and to -"including Colbert?" I agree but not so much in this case. He could of exited the segment with , Ladies and Gentlemen, 202 Presidential candidate, Tulsi Gabbard!!! With LOTS of enthusiasm. Also, I agree, 8 minutes? Sad. I like that she told Stephen to ask the White Supremacist why they like her instead of her, but she could have reiterated that those clowns are misinterpreting her wanting to spend war money at home, as isolationist, though she did mention it.

[@Granero38]

No empty platitude sound bites from Tulsi

[@Misanola]

Because Booker is towing the corporate line. He thinks empty platitudes somehow mask his ties to big pharma.

[@aminm4652]

I think he is asking an honest question. Rwanda genocide (1990) lead to 10 million deaths. Belgium didn't get involved. What is the right thing to do in that situation? I would think it is the natural left position to stop the conflict and not claim ignorance about it. I always thought allowing people to suffer was the worst kind of evil.

[@willbrinkley4041]

@@aminm4652 Have you noticed that we only send military assets to countries that are rich with oil? Our presence destabilizes the governments there and we steal their resources. There are genocides happening now against communities that have nothing to offer us financially, and we ignore them. Are we the good guys?

[@aminm4652]

@@willbrinkley4041 fair point and I agree 100 percent. But if the intentions were correct (i.e. tulsi at the helm of the ship) would that be ok? Or can a country never get involved in another country? That's a nationalistic viewpoint.
