Almost all Democrats in the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Trump on Wednesday, but one of the Dems who voted “present” was Rep. Tulsi Gabbard:
My ‘present’ vote was an active protest against the zero-sum game the two opposing political sides have trapped America in. My vote and campaign is about freeing our country from this damaging mindset so we can work side-by-side to usher in a bright future for all #StandWithTulsi pic.twitter.com/nmhEL5bi4Q

Former NBC News and CNN journo Soledad O’Brien obviously did not like that one bit:
American Coward https://t.co/7RTJyKyqhO

A lot of those replying echoed Hillary Clinton in basically calling Gabbard a “Russian asset,” but there was much more:
What branch did you serve in?

I don’t agree with Tulsi Gabbard on many things, but “American Coward?” She served in Iraq and Kuwait. This is the same sickness that says “heroes don’t get captured.” Can we be better than this with folks we disagree with? https://t.co/Pb4aq9Hk3s

I know Gabbard's a leftist. I wouldn't want her to be president, but their hatred of this woman makes me like her. https://t.co/y29hwIqGjO

Your latest *thoughtful* weigh-in, eh? Smearing a combat veteran for “lacking courage.” That’s rich. https://t.co/4FWOjgpwEa

The establishment journo who never spent a day in her life in the service of our country, who sat on her comfortable couch while others died in wars (and whose children will NEVER see them again) just called the 17 year, two-time combat veteran with a CMB an "American coward." https://t.co/CO1GIJEkTI
