Finally! Tulsi Declares Coup
It took a while, but Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii has recognized that the recent deposing of Bolivian President Evo Morales was in fact a coup.
Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has finally provided her take on the violent unrest that toppled the sitting president Evo Morales, telling her followers that it was a coup which shouldn’t involve US interference.
“What happened in Bolivia is a coup. Period,” Gabbard wrote on Twitter, warning against what may lie in store for Washington’s interventionists.
“The United States and other countries should not be interfering in the Bolivian people’s pursuit of self-determination and right to choose their own government,” she argued.

Ms. Gabbard joins Bernie Sanders as one of a thimbleful of Democrats and Independents willing to buck common wisdom and the Trump Administration. Better late than never.

Good on Tulsi
She, and others, are setting the proper narrative. Bolivia had a coup. According to the Tulsi Doctrine, if it might so be named, no US military intervention into Bolivia is tolerable.
Also, Tulsi abstained in a vote to renew the dreadful Patriot Act. I understand why she didn't vote no. So should the rest of wannabe purists.
Was she there?
I just assumed that she wasn't in Congress for the vote. Why bother, anyway? The vote for the bill was overwhelming. Would have been nice to have someone casting a protest vote, but the security state itself isn't her main focus.
On this topic, I agree--better late than never.
We have so few people who are willing to tell the truth about geopolitics, particularly about war. I'll take what I can get.

It took a while, but
Elizabeth Warren finally has acknowledged the obvious, that it was a coup
Tulsi was a week late, and Liz took a bit longer still, but both are now on the books calling it out.
And it's a shame, but not at all surprising, that Bolivia didn't get raised by the moderators at this week's debate. The overpaid MIC shills at Msnbc did have time however to ask Andrew Yang about a hypothetical involving a phone call to Putin after he is elected, which all of America had long wondered about.
