She gave her honest opinion.
No she spews out russian propaganda...
She is free to speak on the point of view that you don't like.
And everyone else is free to criticize her, even if that's a point of view you don't like.
If your best defense of her is, "The things she's said aren't illegal," that's not exactly a high bar.
The Republicans had no problems with her gender, her race, not her position. They voted for her almost unanimously. Not sure why you said the best defense is what she said aren't illegal. Have you even heard why Republican senators voted for her?
Democrats had no problem with Hillary Clinton's gender when she was overwhelmingly confirmed by them as Secretary of State. I assume you called anyone who criticized her sexist, right? How about anyone who criticized Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, also overwhelmingly confirmed by Demcocrats. So you are definitely a sexist, racist person if you were against her becoming a SCOTUS justice.
Hillary Clinton and Judge Jackson thank you for your support of them.
Ok. That's fine. Using Hilary, Jackson, and Tulsi as examples, neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are racist or sexist.
Your best defense is, "She is free to speak on the point of view that you don’t like," which is another way of saying, "The things she's said aren't illegal." That, and, "If you don't like her you're a racist and sexist." Absolutely pathetic, lazy, and stupid arguments.
Nope that was not what I meant. I like her positions and what she said.
You haven't said a word about her positions or what she said.
You don't know her positions? What?
