Identity Hypocrisy: Jayapal seems not to know that Tulsi Gabbard is a Hindu and a woman

Meanwhile, the local progressive pride seems to ignore that Tulsi Gabbard, First Hindu In Congress, just used the Bhagavad Gita at her swearing-in

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, the first Hindu to join either chamber of Congress, used the sacred text from her faith in a ceremonial swearing-in conducted by Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) in 2013.

“I chose to take the oath of office with my personal copy of the Bhagavad-Gita because its teachings have inspired me to strive to be a servant-leader, dedicating my life in the service of others and to my country,” said Gabbard, who served in the Iraq War, after the swearing-in. “My Gita has been a tremendous source of inner peace and strength through many tough challenges in life, including being in the midst of death and turmoil while serving our country in the Middle East.”
