the ratchet continues on and on and on

Tulsi Gabbard is actually a member of a fringe cult that schismed of off the Hare Krishnas, she and her weird cultist dad have switched parties a few times to try to maneuver themselves into positions of political power to advance the cults material interests and ideology. They're super anti-LGBT and anti-Muslim.

She's also an intelligence officer in the US military.

An incredibly untrustworthy person.
