Tulsi Gabbard is “one of Hawaii’s favorite daughters.” “The people of Hawaii love Tulsi.”
I’m quoting a letter from the state House Republicans to the Transportation Security Administration demanding her removal from its terrorist watch list (“Gabbard cites ‘political retaliation’ for her addition to TSA’s watch list,” Star-Advertiser, Aug. 13).
I’m a “person of Hawaii,” but I don’t share these sentiments. Gabbard is a political turncoat, a darling of Fox News and a promoter of conspiracy theories. She might not belong on the watch list, but she’s certainly no favorite of mine and, I suspect, the majority of Hawaii’s sensible, intelligent people.
Which begs another question: Why isn’t the convicted felon and government overthrow inciter Donald Trump on the list?
