Tulsi Gabbard Sends Cease and Desist Letters to Keith Olbermann, Mitt Romney [View all]
This is a couple of days old, but anything that pisses off Tulsi G. is OK with me.

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) sent cease and desist letters on Wednesday to former MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), both of whom have criticized Gabbard for shilling for Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.
The letter to Olbermann surrounded a March 14 tweet he posted in response to a video showing The View calling for the Department of Justice to investigate Gabbard and Fox News host Tucker Carlson for “shilling for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin.”
The letter called Olbermann’s tweet “false and defamatory” and defended Gabbard’s service in the U.S. Army.
“After serving in elected office at the state and local levels, Representative Gabbard was elected to the United States Congress at the age of thirty-one. Representative Gabbard served on the Armed Services, Homeland Security, and Foreign Affairs Committees,” stated the letter by conservative lawyer Harmeet Dhillon. “Representative Gabbard continues to serve the United States in uniform as a lieutenant colonel in the 351st Civil Affairs Command, a unit of the United States Army Reserve. Thus, she has skin in the game when it comes to matters of foreign policy and war.”
