Miles Kampf-Lassin

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii explains why she resigned as Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee and is endorsing Bernie Sanders as the president who can “usher in a new era of peace and prosperity.” As a veteran of wars in the Middle East, Rep. Gabbard specifically highlights Sanders’ foreign policy judgement, and cast him as the candidate who would eschew interventionist policies.
