So this article was so god awful I decided to make an entire thread as to why it sucks. https://twitter.com/jthantrax/status/1313636237534609408
1. "Tulsi is homophobic"
As a gay man, I am sick and tired of this smear. She grew up in a homophobic, socially conservative home. Any regressive beliefs she held during her teen years and early twenties - before she explored more of the world - are beliefs I cannot fault her for

In addition, she has a perfect LGBTQ+ voting record within the house and was endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign. So sorry she wasn't reading theory straight out of the room.
2. Assad
Tulsi has never EVER supported Assad. She even called him a brutal dictator live on air. She just doesn't want the United States to be overthrowing world leaders under the false guise of "peace." https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/08/01/politics/tulsi-gabbard-assad-dictator-cnntv/index.html

3. Modi
Just like with Assad, Tulsi does not directly support Modi, only having met him in a formal meeting, similar to other members of government such as Obama, Clinton and Trump. https://scroll.in/latest/911059/i-have-been-accused-of-being-a-hindu-nationalist-says-us-presidential-aspirant-tulsi-gabbard

4. Islamaphobia
Due to her (fraudulent) links to Modi, people assume she is Islamaphobic. However, this is blatantly false, as she is outwardly against any form of religious or ethnic violence or attacks. https://www.tulsigabbard.org/tulsi-gabbard-on-islamfighting-islamophobia

She has even defended Ilhan Omar from attacks based on her being Muslim. So no, she is not Islamaphobic. https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/1102193911034990592?s=19
In short, if you're going to post some random article in an attempt to smear a Congresswoman, at least read it first.
