Tulsi at CPAC

Yesterday I watched the video on Tulsi Gabbard's YouTube channel where she spoke at CPAC this week. I have had issues with Tulsi, for sure, and have expressed it here and elsewhere. Since she ran for President in 2020 and gave up her seat in the House of Representatives, she has gradually transitioned herself from a Bernie Sanders socialist Democrat towards being a libertarian conservative.

Personally, I tend to blame her for Biden's victory over Trump in 2020. The margin was close enough so if Tulsi had endorsed Trump rather than endorsing Biden and the socialist Democrats, it could have swung the pendulum to a Trump victory. Instead, she painted Trump as virtually a Neo-Con war monger hungry for blood and plunder. Correct me if I'm wrong about that. She gave Trump no credit at all for his foreign policy. To this day I have seen no evidence from her that she regrets what she did. She had Trumpophobia as bad as any Democrat in politics that year and I have not seen her express regrets even though she seems to despise Biden and the war mongering Dems now.

I don't think I am alone in my perspective either. She talked the talk in her CPAC speech, but despite Tucker Carlson's recent support for her, she didn't earn all that much applause during her speech this week. I'm not the only person who knows her past and I don't suspect I'm the only one bothered by all her virtue signaling or her political positioning.

That being said, this was an impressive political speech and I agree 100% with everything she said and how she said it. She seems to speak truth naturally and eloquently. Worth your time to watch:

Mind you, this is just one man's opinion, as always... You be the judge.
