It is amazing that Democrat senators unanimously vote against a former Democrat who is a minority woman.

Former Democrat..... Current russian asset...fuck off
That stupid claim started with Hillary making the accusation without providing evidence.
Cool. How about the fact that she was very pro-Assad and praising Russia for backing him?
You can read the literal words she says in that article, but something tells me you won't.
So if you say something positive about let say Pelosi, then you have ties with Pelosi? What kind of logic is that?
Do you think that maybe being pro-Assad and praising Russia for backing him might make her a poor choice for the role she's been handed?
Nope. She got 52 out of 53 Republican votes. If you only listen to left wing media, you probably won't figure out why the Republicans don't have issues with her gender and race.
What does the number of votes have to do with her support of a ruthless dictator like Bashar Assad? All that proves is that Republicans are fine with her supporting a horrible ruthless dictator that tortured and murdered countless people. You can make this about her race and gender all you like, but all you’re doing is ignoring the quotes of her saying literal things and support of both him and Russia in that article. Not that I’m surprised that you’re ignoring her actual words that she said. It makes it much easier to defend her if you ignore them. Not honest, but easier.
It shows that Republicans are willing to try something new after many decades of failed foreign policies.
The something new being support for ruthless dictators? Is that the sort of new thing you think is good?
The something new being stopping the forever wars.
Trump is literally threatening wars all over the planet right now. Are you really that ignorant about what is going on in your own country? What your own president is saying literally on a daily basis?
Have you seen the actual results? Very peaceful world in his first term.
We are less than a month after inauguration, he has already made good progress to try to end 2 wars that started when Biden was at the White House.
He was bombing Somalia two weeks ago: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdrye506z1go
He has threatened to go to war with Panama, Greenland and fucking Canada.
Either you're ignorant of what Trump is doing or you're just lying. Neither is a good look.
Do you even know forever war means?
I know that Biden didn't start any wars and also that even if he did, they weren't in Somalia. Or Panama. Or Greenland. Or Canada.
You're really not good at being deceptive, so maybe you should stop trying.

Turns out when you opportunistically betray your party and join the other side, you tend to alienate the party you were with before! Who knew?
Have we finally solved the mystery of why people dislike former revolutionary war general Benedict Arnold?
I think the Democrats are actually racist and sexist, that is why they vote against Tulsi. Republicans have no problems voting for her.
What other copy paste "thoughts" do you have lol. You can't actually be serious.
What counter argument points do you have? Lol
Counter argument? I'm not counter arguing I'm saying what you said is stupid. That's all
I suppose you don't understand my argument. That is fine.
Your argument that the dems are racist and sexist because they don't want someone with Russian ties to be in charge of one of the most important parts of government? Or is that not what you said.
She doesn't have Russian ties. That is just fake news.
Except for her russia ties. You're fake news
No evidence whatsoever. It was all made up.
These articles just spread the same old fake news.
Lol. I'm sure you're playing those cards in good faith.
It couldn't have anything to do with her politics or the fact that she's an opportunist with no principles who flipped to the right as soon as it was personally advantageous for her. Nope, every single Democrat, including those who are women, racial minorities, or female racial minorities, could only possibly dislike her because of racism and sexism 🙄
God I hate Tulcels.
