| Tulsi Gabbard Leied |
Gabbard, a 37-year-old Democratic is known for being politically unpredictable, something she has publicly said that she takes pride in, but not gay pride.
Some of her fiery statements against same-sex marriage in years past, as well as her active campaign to promote “traditional marriage” legislation, have drawn closer scrutiny but her party's virtue-signalers since she made her announcement Friday.
FUN FACT: "Tulsi" means "basil" in Hindi, an herb that's sacred to Hindus because of its medicinal properties.
Several times in the past, Gabbard referred to LGBTQ activists as “homosexual extremists,” a view that echoes that of her father, Mike Gabbard. In a New Yorker profile of the congresswoman Mike was described as having long been “Hawaii’s leading opponent of the gay-rights movement, an energetic and often brusque activist who stood ever ready to denounce what he called ‘the radical homosexual agenda.’”

Like how you can't watch a Netflix series without gay sexual behavior taking place, or swing a dead chicken without hitting a ten-year-old boy in drag at a gay bar singing like Judy Garland.
Gabbard was a visible force against same-sex marriage, and in 2004 spearheaded a fight in the state against a same-sex union measure. “To try to act as if there is a difference between ‘civil unions’ and same-sex marriage is dishonest, cowardly and extremely disrespectful to the people of Hawaii,” she said at the time. “As Democrats, we should be representing the views of the people, not a small number of homosexual extremists.”

But this all took place before she decided to run for president. Now she would have to sell out to the leftists who believe that sending their ten-year-old boys onstage in drag with naked drag queen dudes is okay.
Gabbard then also spoke out against Massachusetts’ passage of same-sex marriage legislation, making it the first in the nation to recognize gay marriage. Speaking on behalf of the Alliance for Traditional Marriage and Values, a group headed by her father, she said the Massachusetts marriage law would cause a ripple effect across the country.
“It is highly likely that federal judges will soon be tearing apart our U.S. Constitution in order to force same-sex marriage down the throats [yuck] of the people of Hawaii and America,” Gabbard said. “The only way to protect traditional marriage in Hawaii and throughout our country, the only way to stop activist federal judges from rewriting our constitution, is by the passage of the Federal Marriage Amendment.”
The Alliance for Traditional Marriage and Values also drew controversy for supporting so-called conversion gay therapy, which views homosexuality as a mental illness. More than a dozen states in the country have since outlawed or restricted the controversial practice. Homosexuality may or may not be a mental illness, the jury is still out on that, but transgenderism definitely. It is a mental illness to believe that you can mutilate your genitals and voila, change your gender.

Biology doesn't agree.
But Gabbard has in recent years said she has evolved in her views about gay rights, and has actively helped further LGBTQ interests in Congress. This is technically known as selling out in the service of the election.
She said in a statement on Sunday, after her old remarks and actions came under fire, that she was sorry about her past views and comments and wished she was never caught saying those things.
“Over the past six years in Congress, I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to help work toward passing legislation that ensures equal rights and protections on LGBTQ+silentP issues,” Gabbard said. “Much work remains to ensure equality and civil rights protections for LGBTQ+silentP Americans and if elected president, I will continue to fight for equal rights for all.”
Now that she's running for president in 2020, she's evolved.

So there you have it. Nobody in politics is immune to being a hypocritical dirtbag. Nobody.
Will 2019 be the year you follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint? Let's hope so, because politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
