New York Times: Tulsi Gabbard, Rising Democratic Star From Hawaii, Makes Mark on Party by Defying It
WASHINGTON — Between the chilly temperatures and the pace of the push-ups, there was plenty to complain about after eight lawmakers straggled into the park behind the Longworth House Office Building for their regular 6:30 a.m. workout.
While the others in the group griped and groaned on a recent Tuesday, Representative Tulsi Gabbard, 34, her Hindu prayer beads wrapped around a wrist for her daily yoga meditation, said little.
“Tulsi, you hearing a lot of whining?” asked Representative Markwayne Mullin, a burly Oklahoma Republican and former professional mixed martial arts fighter who leads the workouts, mocking the complaints of her companions.
“I’m feeling like whining,” she replied between push-ups.

WNU Editor: The above New York Times is a "puff - piece", but she is a staking a foreign policy position that I am sure that the elites in the both political parties are not supportive of (See above video). Kudos for her .... the U.S. definitely needs more people like her in Washington.
