(TNS) Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who’s still vying for her party’s 2020 presidential nomination against all odds, said Tuesday she’s not been given any explanation from CNN as to why the network has not invited her to a series of town hall events ahead of the crucial New Hampshire primaries.

According to The Hill, Gabbard is currently polling 4.8 percent in the RealClearPolitics index of polls in New Hampshire, ahead of tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang, businessman Tom Steyer and former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.
The news outlet reported that while Gabbard has been shut out, “Yang, Steyer and Patrick, along with former Vice President Joe Biden, Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn) and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, all received invites to participate in the two-night event.”
Gabbard says her campaign has reached out to the little-watched cable news outlet but has so far not received any response.
“We have reached out, I think, more than once, and we received no explanation,” Gabbard told Fox News on Tuesday.
“I don’t even think we’ve gotten a response to date about why they’re excluding the first female combat veteran ever to run for president, the only woman of color in the race,” she added.

Gabbard is a major in the Hawaii Army National Guard and served in a medical unit in Iraq from 2004-2005.
While she likely knows why she’s being shut out, we have some ideas of our own.
First, recall Gabbard’s decision to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and her skepticism over claims he twice used chemical weapons against his own people did not earn her any plaudits from the Democratic Party establishment.
Also, she resigned as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2016 after serving three years to endorse Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential candidacy. Plus, her political platform is very similar to his.
Finally — and this is the kicker — her public feuding with failed two-time Democratic presidential contender and consummate deep state insider Hillary Clinton are all likely driving CNN’s decisions to edge her out of Democrat presidential events.

CNN announced last Friday it will host eight Democratic presidential town halls over a two-night period from New Hampshire ahead of the party’s first primary slated for Feb. 11, The Hill added.
The network format has candidates appearing back-to-back on Feb. 5 and 6 at Saint Anselm College.

I read Lemon, the afrosodomite, put his hand down his shorts, rubbed his junk, and wiped his fingers on another homosexual’s mustache. The guy threatened to sue, and six figures were offered to hush the lawsuit.
Tulsi is a woman. Most sodomites hate women, and babies. Also, she’s too moderate, and not as lesbo.
Doesn’t she realize that she has been declared an enemy of the party? If one does not follow the Dem party line 100% of the time one is by their definition “intolerance” and must be erased. In the old USSR (the motherland in Democrat terminology) people were literally erased from photographs for the kinds of crimes against the party that Tulsi Gabbard has committed.
PROVDA !! My lovely wife grew up in the CCCP, now a US citizen, she can’t understand why these Lefty-Liberals want to change this great country to the failed state of Socialist. (as in United Soviet Socialist Republic)
This shows where the real power lies in the Democrat party. Cross Hillary and you have no future.
Simple explanation: Tulsi Gabbard is suing “The Hildebeast”, someone who CNN is in love with.
Clinton News Network…. Just as “ABC News” is owned by Disney Entertainment, thus part of the entertainment industry for the weak mined, so is CNN, MSNBC, NPR (Please defund them), CBS, WoPo, NYSlimes, etc…
If she were not a Democrap, I would vote for this Patriot.
Perhaps she should pull a Bernie and swap to “R” for the 2024 election….
Bet she has more indian in her than Liawatha.
Destroy them all, Hillary !
Biden/Hillary 2020 ! BobbleHead Blunt Force Trauma !
