Well, this will drive annoying libs further insane. They've been calling her a Russian agent for like 8 years

Honestly tulsi is probably one of the least offensive picks Trump has made... of course that bar is buried deep in the inner circle of Hell

Heck, she sometimes sounded like the least insane person on the DNC primaries for 2020.

Yeah she's definitely been the most surprising pick of Trump's for me. Don't get me wrong, she is a ghoul too, she's a rabid Zionist and a cheerleader for American jingoism, but she as well as RFK Jr (Mr. Brain Worms personified) both go against the grain on enough other parts of the Washington consensus that i wouldn't have thought it possible for them to get confirmed. I guess both of them just flattered Trump's ego enough to get a pass. Definitely still better than the usual Zionist billionaires and evangelical lunatics Trump surrounds himself with. An interesting wild card in a sea of otherwise boringly predictable fascists.
