Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D., Hawaii) on Thursday apologized for past statements that were "hurtful" to the LGBT community, saying that she had previous beliefs that were "wrong."
Gabbard, who announced last week that she is running for president in 2020, sent out a series of tweets and a video on Twitter expressing her remorse for the rhetoric, adding that her views have "changed significantly since then," Politico reported.
"Aloha, in my past I said and believed things that were wrong, and worse, they were very hurtful to people in the LGBTQ community and to their loved ones," Gabbard said in the video. "My views have changed significantly since then, and my record in Congress over the last six years reflects what is in my heart: a strong and ongoing commitment to fighting for LGBTQ rights."
