Was it retaliation for her primary performances and attacks on Kamala?
One former presidential candidate from this cycle’s presidential primaries who didn’t receive an invitation to speak at the Democrat convention is Tulsi Gabbard. It is a standard procedure of both major political parties to offer a speaking spot to any presidential candidate who received delegates during the primaries. Granted, Tulsi only earned two delegates (from American Samoa), but still, she has delegates on the board. That is more than some of the also-rans received. So, it’s a bit surprising that she was snubbed, especially in a year that the Democrats are concentrating on women and women of color, in particular. She confirmed the snub on Twitter, natch. You’re correct – I was not invited to participate in any way. https://t.co/zQBOQB8Zw7 Tulsi Gabbard ???? (@TulsiGabbard) August 20, 2020 It’s no secret that Tulsi doesn’t have a lot of friends among the members of the Democrat establishment. She made waves during the primary debates when she went after Kamala’s record of tossing innocent people into jail. Who can forget the look on Kamala’s face when Tulsi first spoke up and challenged her on her record in California? Kamala looked stunned, clearly not prepared for such an aggressive, honest attack.
