Tulsi Gabbard dodges debating opponent :after arguing for more debates b/w HRC & BS (HRC GP) [View all]
Arguing for more debates between Sanders and Hillary last October, Gabbard told MSNBC, Weve gotta have more opportunities for people to present their vision for our country, their plans, and to be held accountable for the positions that theyre taking. After months of dissent over the Democratic debate schedule, Gabbard stepped down from her position as a Democratic National Committee vice chairwoman to endorse Sanders.
But now that Gabbard is being challenged by progressive activist Shay Chan Hodges, she is refusing to even respond to a request for debates.
Last week Chan Hodges reached out privately to Gabbards campaign coordinator, Alana Penaroza, requesting four debates throughout the state of Hawaii, asking for a response by Monday.
Gabbard has not responded to the Shay Hodges campaigns request. The congresswoman did, however, send out a fundraising appeal Monday morning. Requests for comment to her campaign coordinator, her campaign office, and her congressional office remained unanswered.
