It doesn't happen very often nowadays, but every now and then, a true statesman (or stateswoman) on either side of the aisle stands up. This person -- Democrat or Republican, it doesn't matter -- is willing to stand up to bullies in their own party and to tell their own party's voters and leadership that they're wrong. This, even though they know all too well that speaking out may cost them dearly. Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is clearly one of those brave, principled politicians deserving of the label "statesmen."
