Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumTulsi Gabbard was uninvited to debates after calling for more.
-snip-
Washington (CNN)If Rep. Tulsi Gabbard needs a ticket to Tuesday night's Democratic debate -- Bernie Sanders has her covered.
That was the message of Sanders' campaign manager on Monday, responding to a report that the Hawaii Democrat had been uninvited from attending the debate by the Democratic National Committee.
"If she needs a ticket, have her give me a call," Jeff Weaver said on CNN's "New Day" on Monday. "I think we have a couple; we can give her one."

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), a vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), says she was disinvited from the first Democratic presidential debate after calling for more debates, according to a new report.
When I first came to Washington, one of the things that I was disappointed about was theres a lot of immaturity and petty gamesmanship that goes on, and it kind of reminds me of how high school teenagers act, Gabbard told The New York Times.
Its very dangerous when we have people in positions of leadership who use their power to try to quiet those who disagree with them, Gabbard said. When I signed up to be vice chair of the D.N.C., no one told me I would be relinquishing my freedom of speech and checking it at the door.
Gabbard and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, a fellow DNC vice-chair, have for weeks called on the DNC to hold more than the six scheduled debates. She reiterated that message last week.
An unidentified person close to the committee insisted to the Times that Gabbard was not disinvited but that an aide to DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) wanted to focus on the candidates in the debate and not a "distraction."
