Did Tulsi and or Patel also refuse to meet Democratic senators, as Hegseth did?

Thank you DU.

Listening to both of the hearings over the course of this very wet day, I keep hearing Republicans refer to talking directly with her, but no comments like this from Democrats. If they all refused us, that is really extraordinarily outrageous.

Tulsi is very good at talking in a low tone. She learned how to make people stop thinking, somehow.

Coons (DE) acknowledged that he met with Patel when questioning him, so I don't think he was as arrogant as Hegseth. nt woodsprite Thursday #2

if I see ONE Dem vote for Gabbard or Patel, I am going to lose it. If taking a stand now isn't appropriate, when is the time? I’m weary of hearing that they’re protecting norms. Just stop it. There are no more norms.
