Former Hawaii governor calls on Tulsi Gabbard to resign days after 'present' impeachment vote

Neil Abercrombie, the former Democratic governor of Hawaii, called for Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to resign from office if she wishes to continue her presidential bid.

Abercrombie, 81, said in a press conference on Monday that Gabbard has shown she cannot represent Hawaii’s 2nd District and run for president at the same time. Gabbard, 38, entered the Democratic presidential primary in January.

The Hawaii Army National Guard major has already said she will not run for reelection for her House seat. Despite the pledge, Abercrombie said that Gabbard should resign mid-term and let the governor call a special election to replace her.

"The bottom line for me is simple," Abercrombie told Politico in a phone call after his announcement. "I believe that the only really honorable thing to do and sensible thing to do and politically forthright thing to do is to resign the seat, let us have a special election and then see whoever wins that seat whether they can do a good enough job to win a primary in August and a general election next November."

If Gabbard had voted 'yes' on impeachment, Abercrombie wouldn't be asking her to resign.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Did Abercrombie say the same of Senators Bennet, Booker, Warren, Sanders, and Klobuchar, and of Mayor Buttigieg? If not then he's smoke-screening his disagreement with her vote behind a phony pretext - "she cannot represent Hawaii’s 2nd District".
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
