Increasingly clear to me that the criticisms of Tulsi Gabbard's religious background are laced with innuendos and insinuations that would not be tolerated with respect to other groups. Americans' ignorance of Hinduism is being leveraged as a political attack against her.

Okay so Tulsi is running a foreign policy focused campaign and has every right to run, I'll concede that. And perhaps she's drawing hostility on that basis. But I just see no particular animus towards her on the basis of her background.

I just cited to you one major, egregious example. Additionally, The New Yorker accused her of belonging to a cult. She's been repeatedly accused of espousing "Hindu Nationalism" even though she expressly renounces it. So yes, there's a particular animus toward her on that basis.

This is a big one for me. Every one of those issues where Tulsi has been so refreshing, Bernie has either stumbled or straight-up faceplanted.
