Looks like Tulsi Gabbard may be lying about her crowd sizes. Sound familiar?

Tulsi Gabbard Released a Map Boasting About Her Supporters. It Makes No Sense.

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/02/tulsi-gabbard-instagram-map/

Tulsi Gabbard formally launched her campaign for president on Saturday and, according to an Instagram post from her campaign, more than 3,500 people tuned in at watch parties around the country, including in deep-red pockets of Texas and North Dakota.

But for a map purportedly showing the locations of Gabbard supporters, some groups of pins look awfully suspicious, as if particular images of clusters were roughly copy-and-pasted in locations across the map.

The Gabbard campaign did not respond to a request for comment on the map’s production, or to a request to provide a list of where watch parties occurred.

The Hawaii congresswoman has had a rocky start to her candidacy since informally launching her long-shot bid last month. Her campaign manager quit last month. After today, the campaign may need a new graphic designer too.

imagine why MotherJones(a reputable site) would bring this up if they didn't think it was true.

Gabbard needs to start answering questions.

The twitter page on this is brutal. Seems she had a spot on MF and according to the tweeters it was a disaster.
