Never heard of this one before today.

I have been a fan of Tulsi since 2016 when she endorsed Bernie. Liked her even more from her performance in the 2020 debates and I have grown to like her even more since she left the dems. I have done a ton of research on her and never have I ever heard anyone speak of her being in a cult.
Several times today I have seen people mention it on reddit posts about Trump naming her to his cabinet and they all are like "what cult is she in agagin?" So I went digging to find the wokeipedia page having been edited in the last hour for the science of identity foundation. https://search.app?link=https%3A%2F%2Fen.m.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FScience_of_Identity_Foundation&utm_campaign=aga&utm_source=agsadl1%2Csh%2Fx%2Fgs%2Fm2%2F4

I don’t trust a word that comes out of this administration which includes the mainstream media.
Under the Biden administration the FBI and DOJ targeted churches, (regular churches that arent culty at all) and calling them cults. Basically if churches or their members got involved in GOP politics at all- they would get targeted with bogus charges. So The FBI Targeted Roman Catholic Churches with ties to prolife organizations. Also churches whose members have been running for local school board have been getting targeted.
So, I hardly believe anything coming out of the left. But that said if this group Tulsi was in was a little weird- she was a child. And she also won her first election at the age of 18 in order to get a landfill project shut down that was going to pollute a water way. Which is more than any Democrat can say they have done for the environment. Bc the Green Energy Movement is a lie.
And lastly, if anyone reads Nellie Bowel’s book “The Morning After the Revolution” they’ll see that The New York Times is literally run like a cult. And other stories from other former NYT staff abound that confirm as much.

Between her works and RFKs on the environment, no other dem comes close. They all wanna talk the talk but never took a step towards walking the walk!

Exactly! No other Democrat comes close to Tulsi.
I made a post here the other day about when former NYT columnist Bari Weiss started trying to bash Tulsi Gabbard, unsuccessfully on Joe Rogan.
And later on in that same interview Bari Weiss starts singing the praises of AOC! How can your judge of character be that bad?

I think a lot of people have a problem with a faith like Hindu - one of my favorite things about tulsi is her faith.

I don't have feelings on it one way or the other but it's not something that has materialized out of thin air the last couple of weeks. It has been a common storyline throughout the years.

Thanks for your feedback, I guess it's something I just never caught wind of until today. Still super weird the wiki was updated at the same time she got her seat.

Well, the intelligence community are the most “productive“ editors on Wikipedia, so it’s no surprise that Tulsi page got edited the way it did when it did. It’s not an accident.

I am a big fan of hers.
When she was young - like 19 - she was involved in a group her father led. I forget the details of it, but that’s where the cult stuff might have come from.
Who among us didn’t do stupid stuff when we were 19-20 years old?

Bernie is fine kissing Dem leadership boots, dude ran twice and got railroaded from having a proper shot. Tulsi saw the writing on the wall protested and they put her on the Clear skies watch list.

lol the “cult” they are referring you to is a religion called Hinduism 😂

It's claimed she is a member of the Science of Identity Foundation founded by the spritirual leader Chris Butler. This is common practice in Hinduism to have a Guru. Here is what Wikipedia says. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_of_Identity_Foundation However, I believe the reason for all the politicians is because her father is a politician and not some conspiracy. I recall reading something from SIF that views themselves as integrating Christian prayer with Hindu meditation. This is there website. https://sif.yoga/ Butler's wife teaches Yoga.

Leftists talk a lot about inclusiveness but can't stomach the fact that Tulsi follows the Vaishnava tradition of the Hindu faith.
Just watch any of the dozens of interviews with her and you will see she is level headed, fair, and believes in traditional values like treating all people good. Hinduism is a vast spiritual framework which is very misunderstood by the west.

Also if someone is attacking someone's character and not the person's policies or stances its immediately suspect. They would rather attack her character then debate her.
