Show me where she's trying to justify legalizing torture and I'll gladly eat said words. I've given you my red line, and thus far she hasn't crossed it.
I'm not persuaded by this absurd idea that because she stated she wouldn't oppose torture with nuclear armaggedon as an alternative she clearly would be at serious risk of legalizing and initiating torture upon getting into office.
Tulsi Gabbard: Separating smears from reality. - Alan Myron - MediumHer defense of torture: In a 2015 interview when the CIA report about use of torture came out, she said she was conflicted about the report. She has been asked to clarify her stance about it and she has. The CIA report was new, when the interview happened, but her stance is clear. After she reviewed the report, she voted (back in 2015) for H.R. 1735, including the amendment to the 2016 NDAA, codifying President Obama’s executive order banning enhanced interrogation/torture methods.*"); background-size: 1px 1px; background-position: 0px calc(1em + 1px); font-family: medium-content-serif-font, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: -0.072px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">This ban solidified our commitment to United States law and international agreements
Pretty good article debunking the smears and quite a few links to videos for those interested in getting to know Tulsi.
