Tulsi Gabbard's 2019 Tweet Comes Back To Haunt Her: 'The US Must Not Go To War With Iran'
HuffPost
Gabbard's tweet resurfaced following the resignation of the director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center on Tuesday.
Past tweets from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard are coming back to haunt her amid the U.S.’s ongoing war in Iran.
While she was still gunning for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, Gabbard was fervently against any U.S. military action in Iran.
“Trump promised to get the US out of ‘stupid wars,’” Gabbard wrote on Twitter in 2019. “But now he and John Bolton are on the brink of launching us into a very stupid and costly war with Iran. Join me in sending a strong message to President Trump: The US must NOT go to war with Iran. #TULSI2020.”
Gabbard posted the tweet alongside a campaign video featuring President Donald Trump opposing the U.S. launching foreign wars.
“The president is listening to his national security adviser, John Bolton, and other war hawks in his administration, who have championed the war with Iraq in the past, and have been pushing for a war with Iran for years,” Gabbard said in the video.
