Tulsi Gabbard dodges debating opponent :after arguing for more debates b/w HRC & BS (HRC GP)

Arguing for more debates between Sanders and Hillary last October, Gabbard told MSNBC, “We’ve gotta have more opportunities for people to present their vision for our country, their plans, and to be held accountable for the positions that they’re taking.” After months of dissent over the Democratic debate schedule, Gabbard stepped down from her position as a Democratic National Committee vice chairwoman to endorse Sanders.

But now that Gabbard is being challenged by progressive activist Shay Chan Hodges, she is refusing to even respond to a request for debates.

Last week Chan Hodges reached out privately to Gabbard’s campaign coordinator, Alana Penaroza, requesting four debates throughout the state of Hawaii, asking for a response by Monday.

Gabbard has not responded to the Shay Hodges campaign’s request. The congresswoman did, however, send out a fundraising appeal Monday morning. Requests for comment to her campaign coordinator, her campaign office, and her congressional office remained unanswered.

has she gone 3rd party yet? Who would have her after she tried to take over the DNC. Maybe she can go stab Jill Stein in the back and take over the Green party.

I can't imagine her debating anyone.

All Shay is doing is carrying out a campaign of disinformation of smears against Tulsi. Why should Tulsi give her a soapbox and make it so ever more people hear her distortions and lies? She must think Tulsi is really stupid that she's going to give her a megaphone so everyone can hear her nonsense.
