Thank you for this article. I had read that she belonged to a cult, but knew nothing about it.

Even her immediate family disowns her.

No they don’t. They are part of the same cult. Her aunt disowned them.

That doesn't even concern me as much as the impact she can (and likely will) have on our intelligence-sharing relationships. She shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the intelligence community! No one wants to share sensitive information with a foreign asset.

Looks like a good read. Can anyone share a gift article? TIA!

Tulsi is what happens when a middle ranked intellect and ruthless ambition are hidden behind good looks.

The goal is to take over all religions. They’re morphing and mooching off any religion or spiritual community they can.

Interesting, surely, but she remains a treasonous, Trump sycophant.

Great article, read it if you have a subscription. I read it on Apple News.

Great article, thanks for sharing. Even here she is an enigma.

I’ve always thought she was a threat to our security, and after reading this article I’m even more sure of it.

Hare Krishna? Why isn’t she jumping around airports with a tambourine? She would be so much more useful doing that.

She’s not Hare Krishna anymore. Her parents were originally in International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), commonly referred to as the Hare Krishna movement, but one member of the movement, Chris Butler, left it to start his own cult. She and her family follow him as their Guru.
