Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) confirmed Thursday evening that she was not invited to speak at the Democratic National Convention after she did not appear in any programming for the event this week.
“You're correct - I was not invited to participate in any way,” Gabbard tweeted in response to a post noting her absence from the four-day confab.

Gabbard, who ran for president before ultimately suspending her campaign, was one of seven contenders who earned delegates during the primary, though she was the only one not offered a speaking slot.
Tulsi Gabbard had delegates, but was never invited by the DNC.
The convention has faced criticism over its speaker list, with entrepreneur Andrew Yang, another former presidential contender, initially not appearing in the lineup either. He was later given a speaking role near the top of Thursday’s activities.
Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro, another former presidential candidate, also noted that no Hispanic speakers were featured in the prime-time section of the convention, though actress Eva Longoria Bastón did moderate Monday.
"You know, last week I saw the schedule. And out of the 35 primetime speakers, only three of them were Latino. There were no Native Americans, no Muslim Americans. And I said that that was — I didn't think that completely reflected this beautiful, diverse coalition, this big tent that Democrats have put together over these last few years," Castro said on Monday.
So much for the party of diversity.
The left really hates Tulsi Gabbard.

She spent most of her time crying on Tucker. I guess the Fox application didn't pan out. Good luck sending out resumes, I hear Hawaii is expensive.

Gabbard tried to divide the party and win the nomination by calling our last nominee “the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party.”
So yeah, no invite.
Actions, consequences etc.
Proof?

Tulsi's next stop: Fox News, RT, or the Syrian ministry of propaganda.
Can you prove she is a Russian asset?

Tulsi spends her entire time trashing Democrats (during the Trump presidency of all times). Tulsi is surprised the DNC doesn't invite her to event. You can't make this shit up.
