Tulsi Gabbard calls for Trump's censure on eve of House impeachment vote

“Look at me!”

Democratic presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, shown here on Oct. 29 in New York, will call for a resolution censuring President Donald Trump as the full House prepares to impeach him.

U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is expected to call for President Donald Trump to be censured over the Ukraine scandal as the full House of Representatives readies to vote Wednesday on two articles of impeachment. The lesser punishment is a longshot.

The House needs a simple majority to impeach Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. As of today, the House had surpassed the necessary 216 votes, according to a New York Times tally.

If the censure resolution fails, which is expected, it’s not clear how Gabbard will vote on impeachment. Her congressional office did not respond to media inquiries on Monday or today.

All the way back at the state legislature and City Council which she bagged mid-term for US Congress.

She has a knack of figuring out a few semiphors to throw to make people accept her unquestioningly.

It’s so transparent and reductive. Ugh. And people fall for it. 🤢

San Diego was GOP/red for too long but my neighborhood has always been liberal like most similarly populated areas in the country. I like artistic areas (I was an illustrator, a STARVING illustrator) due to the liberal attitudes.

Sit down and shut up. Your 15-minutes ended a while ago and you've brought nothing to the issue.

Also, maybe do your congressional job, you know, like show up for votes.
