The Democrats in Congress continue to insist on seeing the full report from Robert Mueller (and then some) before ever abandoning the “collusion” talking points — not that most will ever do that. However, Democrat 2020 candidate and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard issued a call to move on and unify this week:
Mueller reported Trump did not collude with Russia to influence our elections. Now we must put aside partisan interests, move forward, and work to unite our country to deal with the serious challenges we face. pic.twitter.com/xTkHkyrAxp

Care to take a guess as to how that’s going over on the Left?
Anyone who still thinks the Democrats are a serious party should read the responses here. https://t.co/qqNiiW3Pfy

They’ve lost their minds. She doesn’t toe the line or participate in identity politics so she has no chance with the liberals.

And the number of blue checkmarks….

Gabbard’s willingness to not continue to cling to the Democrat 2020 narrative has really sparked a backlash on the Left:
It’s impossible to overstate how tone deaf and dunderheaded this is. Delete your account.

Get the hell out of our party. No one is going to listen to you or vote for you. You're a waste of time and oxygen and a colossal bore.

Example of why I'm not a fan of Gabbard. https://t.co/5blcv0m7bH

You don't seem especially suited to your current job. https://t.co/jQOqHSGKf8

LOVE the ratio on this asinine tweet (NO ONE HAS SEEN THE REPORT).
I trust her as much as a Jill Stein GofFundMe campaign for vote recounts. https://t.co/Ij3DzZUQZf

How not to be a presidential candidate 101. https://t.co/36SThg4LF1

This is literally the dumbest thing I've seen a Democratic 2020 candidate say. You haven't SEEN the #MuellerReport – No one in Congress has https://t.co/OUnF2E127C

A powerful statement that will certainly resonate with Putin's base. https://t.co/PKKCtmW3u6

You really don’t want the nomination, do you? https://t.co/DrJmsZQVeb

You probably weren't considering voting for #TulsiGabbard anyway. But if that thought had crossed your mind, be aware:
-She has not seen the #MuellerReport.
-She is a Member of #Congress. She should be demanding to see the report– not running interference for the president. https://t.co/mnujCs4N8B— Jonah Blank (@JonahBlank) March 29, 2019
As true progressives consider our path forward, some of "our" candidates will make it clear they don't belong on the Democratic ballot… let's start here. https://t.co/X7ohoepYOQ

And that’s just a sampling. The 2016 narrative will never be let go.
