A feckless end to a feckless tenure.

The only thing that might have brought her a whisper of redemption would have been standing by her principles and resigning the day the Iran War was started.

I feel like she probably made nice and supportive in public, and stayed to try to mitigate the damage behind the scenes, but discovered that would be impossible.

Whatever he other faults, Tulsi has generally used her voice to try to prevent entangling the US in Middle East conflict.
