Failed presidential candidate/ex-ex-anti-LGBTQ activist Tulsi Gabbard has moved on from accusing out Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot of “anti-white racism” and bashing gender neutral language and turned her attention toward Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos.
Gabbard managed to trend on Twitter for about five minutes this morning after she fired off not one but two tweets attacking Bezos, who successfully blasted himself off into space this morning for a 10 minute ride on the Blue Origin spaceship.
“Bezos, please stay up there,” the first tweet read. “Do the world a favor.”
Bezos, please stay up there. Do the world a favor.
— Tulsi Gabbard ? (@TulsiGabbard) July 20, 2021
She followed that up with another one an hour later that said, “The only problem I have with Bezos’ Blue Origin space rocket ship into outer space is that it’s going to come back.”

Regardless of how you feel about Bezos’ outer space adventure, gleefully wishing death upon the guy and his flight crew doesn’t exactly embody the Aloha spirit. It’s also not a great look for a former U.S. congresswoman with presidential aspirations.
Now, the responses…
Well aloha and good morning for that one! 😂

Wishing death upon others at 2 am isn’t a good look

Hey, remember when you opted out of impeaching a traitorous madman?
I do.

Tulsi woke up and chose violence.

I hope this was an account hack. What happened to aloha?

Sometimes you get a different kind of aloha spirit lol

Of course, none of this is surprising. Gabbard has never demonstrated any ability to actually practice what she preaches.
In her final days before leaving Congress last January, she abandoned the commitment she made to the LGBTQ community during her 2020 presidential run by pushing one final piece of legislation that sought to strip away protections from trans and gender-nonconforming students.
Since then, she’s become a regular fixture on Fox News and is preparing to launch a podcast that she says will “share in-depth insights and thought-provoking conversations” beyond what we hear from the “mainstream media” and “always with aloha.”

I can not tell you how many memes I have come across along those same lines about Jeff not coming back. Is this a hill we really want to defend?
Vince
I agree. Even on other gay sites the commentary is usually in agreement with this twunt.
LumpyPillows
I almost think there are paid people who come up with this horrible stuff to build on the right’s strategy that the left is full of horrible people. The problem is, there are a lot of dumb people on the left who will repeat anything like this they read.
LumpyPillows
LOL, I do not like Tulsi, but this is nonsense. I was thinking the exact same thing as her funny tweet. These horrible people who find offense with everything are hurting us; they fuel the right and form a basis for why so many people on the planet hate “liberals”. They paint us all with this self-important nonsense. This is not the society I want to live in. Now, I guess you could wish I’d die, I guess.
radiooutmike
The right is going to hurt us anyway.
So, if we did not have “cancel culture” and did not complain as much, our society would be better?
LumpyPillows
No. The problem is alienating the center. Its how we lost so many house seats in the last election even when we were competing with Nazis. Cancel culture is terrible – its rule by the mob, powered by anonymous tweets and we deserve better. For cripes sake, they went after Lin-manual Miranda for not having enough black people playing Puerto Ricans in The Heights. You know, the guy who cast black people as our founding fathers in Hamilton. WTF. Then they went after Chita Rivera for defending him. Cancel-culture in the hands of smart people would be dangerous enough, in the hands of morons its almost as bad as the right wing creeps. And that is why so many people hate us.

@LumpyPillows
Please stop trying to rewrite facts to back up your phony claim that holding people responsible will upset the mythical “Center” that is just sitting there waiting to vote for Trump if they get annoyed.
Lin Manuel Miranda was called out because the Heights is a traditionally afro Caribbean area and the casting didn’t reflect that. So no, they weren’t playing “Puerto Ricans”. The Washington Heights area is called “Little Dominican Republic”.
The huge majority of the Dominican Republic population is mixed Black and Latino with another portion being Black.
So why the disingenuous commentary?

Quick question: Do you ever take your head out of your ass? Because it’s buried very deep up there.
barryaksarben
so do all you old entitled white queens who are always complaining on this site decide what is nonsense and what is not? asking for real people who might be affected by what you call nonsense. The right will use any and everything including making up most of their shit to attack the left. there is NO AMOUNT of NON-NONSENSE that the right wont use. They hate us and always have and always will and by not asking for EVERY F***KING thing we want we are only playing into their hands by asking for what amounts to crumbs- NO THANK YOU. That is the hill we should never die on. People’s feelings are important and that is why we are not republicans and we need to embrace ours and that includes the ones where we dont let the mean spirited right wing nuts like TULSI be given a god damned inch EVER
LumpyPillows
Cam, if you want to be taken seriously, you really need to stop being such a jerk. I spent time making points I think are relevant and you don’t debate them, you attack me. Reality is, people like you are why republicans continue to succeed.
LumpyPillows
Barry, how hateful are you? Also, you wrote a lot but it really didn’t go anywhere.
LumpyPillows
Mack, your eloquence exposes your lack of intellect. You literally said nothing about anything I wrote. Is this a cut and paste insult you just post everywhere due to laziness?
rickywintour
You just love kissing Republicans behind don’t you lol? Your such a soft snowflake who needs to go away. Someone needs to strap you to a missile and shoot you into space. Hopefully we can be rid of your bootlicking ways. By the way Trump is not gonna love you the way you think he will. But he will grab you by…well you know where lmao. So yeah kindly go back to the closet where the rest of the RepubliKKKans are at.

Tulsi is an anti-LGBTQ bigot who was supposed to be able to do what Jill Stein did in the election before. She just wasn’t as slick about it and got caught.
Fahd
She’s a Russian plant — which I guess explains some of the positive comments about her here in Queerty’s comment sections.
Thank goodness Bezos rescued the Washington Post. The Post’s relentless criticism of/pounding on the Trump administration no doubt contributed to Trump losing the 2020 election. Maybe that’s why she and her supporters don’t like him.
She should be investigated for her ties to foreign entities especially Russia.

Bezos does nothing for Amazon warehouse workers, so the shitstain should stay up there. Or burn up on reentry. Either would be an improvement.
Essie
But, what about the crew? You wish death on people who have done nothing to deserve your hate. Shame on you . . . and Tulsi Whatever!!!
PerhapsYesNoMaybe
You mean nothing other than pay them? Because if they don’t want their jobs someone else will do their job. And there are other jobs people can do. Nobody has to work for Amazon. It’s voluntary.
Chrisk
PerhapsYesNoMaybe
Yeah, why do people demand anything like a livable wage and healthcare. You do realize that if people took your attitude we’d have absolutely nothing for the middle class in America.
KW1969
Tulsi aside … Bezos should come back to earth and give his money away evenly. Nobody deserves that much money and control.
theherald
There’s nothing wrong with what she said. She just meant “I don’t like you”, not “I hope you die”. It’s a joke.
queerty02
Wishing death upon bezos is not a bad thing to do fyi.
Ronbo
Gabbard jokes that the entitled billionaire should stay in space and Graham Gremore claims it’s a death threat!?!
Is Graham a tool of the Democratic Corporate Party or what! Next he’ll be caught pushing multiple false stories about Alex Morse to assist conservatives in elections. Oh, he was already caught and identified. Did they investigate if he was paid by the Democrat party to publish the anti-gay false stories?
Cam
It’s always easy to spot the new troll screennames.
They come on any time there’s a story about anti-LGBTQ Republicans, attack the site, and then try to insert either an attack on Black people or on Democrats.
You’re just embarrassing yourself at this point.

Who???
