Gabbard Campaign to Protest CNN Townhall over New Hampshire Snub
Yahoo! News ^ | February 6, 2020 | by Tobias Hoonhout

Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D., Hawaii) is scheduling a protest outside the New Hampshire venue where CNN is hosting town halls ahead of the state’s primary next week, after Gabbard was excluded from the two-night lineup — despite out-polling townhall guests Andrew Yang, Tom Steyer, and Deval Patrick in New Hampshire.

“This attempt to silence Tulsi is bigger than one person — it’s our right as voters to hear from ALL the candidates, and to have our voices represented. No institution should be allowed to get away with censoring democracy: That’s why we’re standing up to CNN on Wednesday, February 5th, demanding that our voices be heard,” the Gabbard campaign told Fox News.

Gabbard told the network last week that she had reached out about being excluded, but had not received a response.

“We have reached out, I think, more than once, and we received no explanation. I don’t even think we’ve gotten a response to date about why they’re excluding the first female combat veteran ever to run for president, the only woman of color in the race,” she said.

Gabbard currently sits sixth in New Hampshire polling at 4.7 percent, while Yang polls at 3.7 percent, and Tom Steyer at 3.1 percent, according to a RealClearPolitics polling average.

From what I’ve seen of campaign signs in NH, she actually stand s a pretty good chance in that state.

I’m still praying that God would bring confusion and chaos to their councils and plans and expose them for what they really are.

Judging from the Tulsi signs and billboards in Iowa, I thought she might cross the 15% threshold. Her money seems to be coming from Maharishi followers. Or Russians.
