BREAKING NEWS – Honolulu, Hawaii – A House Democrat is drawing heat in her home state for her history of refusing to participate in debates prior to primary elections. But ironically, U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii resigned from her position with the Democratic National Committee in 2016 because she believed the party hadn’t scheduled enough debates among its presidential candidates that year. Gabbard has declined to debate her opponent ahead of the Aug. 11 primary in Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District, continuing a pattern of snubbing her primary opponents every time since being elected to Congress six years ago, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported. “Trying to force me to debate is the oldest political trick in the book. It’s a tactic used to try to expose what little I know, and I will not fall for it. My level of ignorance is a public record, and my voters are fine with it. But I refuse to give my opponent the opportunity to highlight what little I know!”
