BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard threatens to boycott October debate

Bloomberg

Tulsi Gabbard is threatening to boycott the Oct. 15 Democratic presidential debate, claiming the party and the media were “rigging” the primary elections.

In a video posted on Twitter, Gabbard said the Democratic National Committee and its “partners in the corporate media” were trying to “replace the roles of voters” in the early nominating states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. She said they were “using polling and other arbitrary methods” to keep certain candidates off stage.

Gabbard qualified for the August debate in Detroit, failed to qualify for the September debate in Houston and will appear at the debate Tuesday in Westerville, Ohio, which required participants to have at least 130,000 individual donors and 2% in four approved polls.

so that eventually she'll run as a third party candidate a-la Jill Stein. Putin's propping her up to grab votes away from the Dem general election candidate.

Definition of "rigging" when applied to Democrats since 2016: using numbers to decide things. At least she's popular with Republicans and Russians.
