Are we seriously going to excuse tulsi’s anti LGBTQ past with a poorly constructed whataboutism? How bout we just accept that she, like many of us including me, have a shitty past and see where we stand today?https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1085178216594198534 …

Are we seriously still using the term "whataboutism" to shut down legitimate lines of inquiry, involving comparing and contrasting the records of prominent politicians?

And in case you need further explanation, She has to answer for her shit on her own. Using Obama as a deflection is not a “legitimate” question. It’s an easy way to keep her from answering for herself which she needs to do

Of course she does. Pointing out inconsistencies in how prominent politicians are portrayed, on the basis of their records and statements, is not "deflection."

Who gives a shit what obama thinks right now as it pertains to her candidacy? It literally has NO bearing whatsoever on her candidacy or past.

Because he was the previous Democratic president? That's the bearing it has, if you're setting out to compare and contrast politicians. Obama's traits were compared with Bill Clinton, Trump's are compared with George W. Bush. It's a useful analytical tool.

Dude... you’re literally making it worse for her. Obama moved with public opinion. No hero at all. She didn’t move with public opinion. Why? So she’s worse than Obama in your own comparison game.

If that's your view, OK. Comparing and contrasting was required to come to that view, which is why I brought it up in the first place.

Sad, but telling. After getting beat up by Maxine Waters Michael is again making a total ass out of himself, but still has to have the last word. Pathetic. I point both of you to todays
