Democrat primary 2020 is when Tulsi first caught my attention. She is everything that represents the America our forefathers meant it to be. Your article captures the true essence of what I always thought about her. Tulsi gives me HOPE and she will always have my vote and support. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Ps - kudos to her Mom and Dad for raising an AMAZING daughter.

Love Tulsi, but this isn’t a comment about her. Paging Jessica…Alex Soros met with Gretch Whitmer. 😬😬😬

To quote my favorite meme regarding the demise of the DNC is a portrait of JFK saying “ Democrats, what have you done to my Party?” . It’s true. And any principled politician who dares to criticize the hypocrisy of Democrats is immediately marginalized as a turncoat, BOT, corporate shill, blah, blah, blah… then the media piles on with their choreographed responses…but I do sense a small shift in people’s heretofore unquestioned locality. Like RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard is all common sense and rises above the distracting fray. Mahalo Tulsi!

I was first introdced to Tulsi on Tucker years ago. I loved her immediatly. She is fearless, kind, loves America and her people. I have nothing but respect for her. It is still awe-inspiring that you're hanging with her. This article should show people how honest and pure your reporting is, Jessica, in that you posted an unflattering quote from Bari, whom I believe you also respect. I don't think many of us could be as fair and "Joe Friday" as you with "just the facts." Thank you.

As you so, aptly pointed out Jessica, the reason we forgot people like her existed, meaning a person who went against the grain and stuck to her guns, is because she is a rare gem. Trump would be a fool not to pick her. If he does choose her, I think she will bring a lot of Democrats with her. When they come up with ridiculous criticisms, which have no basis, in fact like she's a toady or whatever it's because they can't think of anything else! Your article sums her up perfectly! She would be a fantastic VP or a fantastic anything! Sabrinalabow.substack.com

The political system as we know it today is so fundamentally broken and corrupt , it’s difficult to see where someone like Tulsi gabbard who has a fully functioning mind firing on all cylinders can fit in , it always bothered me that she stayed in the democrat party but when she left even an ancient cynic like me raised a silent cheer , I think she’s incredibly brave taking on the might of the deep state who are going to fight tooth and nail to keep her at bay , She going to need a couple of fire breathing dragons ( game of thrones ) at her side , I wish her all the best

Super awesome read! Brings tears to my eyes for some reason 🥹 I think it’s the honesty & earnest care for our country by both of you. Going to listen to Rogan podcast now! ❤️

I was literally listening to her on Joe Rogan when I opened this. This might be my favorite article yet. I’m just discovering Tulsi, (thanks to my 32 year old son!) and am loving what I’m hearing and reading. Our country is at stake and she seems like a trustworthy person to lead.

This is probably one of my most favorite interviews Jessica! She is a brilliant woman and I’m so happy to hear what you two had to discuss.

Thank you so much Jessica. Btw, the picture at the end of you both, is stunning! Two beautiful women.

She sounds so refreshing.

With minimal effort you can revisit her formative years with extreme evangelist parents “saving the natives” in American Samoa. While her military service is admirable, her views are not. They’re an ever changing mash up of far right wing and evanaglist nonsense with a smattering of issues that echo with everyone. Not a person to be trusted with a McDonalds, much less a country.

Where is the "dislike" button?

Top notch , Jess! Loved the description of her life. You are where you’re supposed to be! A born writer/journalist. If voting counts and thee President can really affect change she certainly presents head above shoulders than all the rest! I wished you would have asked my question about the capture lol, I know you were limited. 😀

Why would you feature this horrible person on yr blog like it’s a good thing? She is an anti-democracy egomaniac who torpedoed some important legislation. GTFO my emails.

Not sure about Tulsi. She supported Bernie Sanders. I will read up on her more.

I just finished her episode with Rogan. Every interview she gives just solidifies my feeling about her. I can’t wait to see what she brings to the next administration. We all know if Trump doesn’t choose her as a VP (pleeeeease choose her!!) she’s for sure going to be offered a different pivotal role! 💪🏼🤍
