Washington Post Finds Tulsi Gabbard Repeated Memo Talking Points 3 Times Verbatim

3 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Jun 25

Summary

  • Three TV appearances showed Tulsi Gabbard using words and phrases almost exactly as recommended in internal memos, according to a Washington Post investigation published Wednesday.
  • The report says the memos offered political guidance during Gabbard’s time in Congress in the 2010s and repeatedly matched her public actions and language.
  • Those documents do not identify who supplied the advice, leaving a central unanswered question about who was directing or shaping Gabbard’s messaging.
  • The findings extend a broader Post investigation built on a trove of mysterious memos that it says reveal striking parallels between the guidance and Gabbard’s conduct.
