Tulsi IS Hindu. She's not connected to them (extremists). The claims by Eoin were later debunked in the Hawaii Civil Beat which is owned by Pierre Omidyar, who's smeared her for years in both that and the Intercept.

However, what's even more sinister is that this particular smear about being connected to Hindu Extremists was spread by a Hawaiian millionaire pedophile

She has denied that she was ever a member of SIF, and there is no evidence to the contrary. The yoga tradition she practices is actually quite different than what Butler teaches. SIF practices Vaishnava Hinduism. She practices Karma Yoga. She has also lived her life in ways that are contrary to SIF precepts (such as being twice married and serving in the US military).

Even though she is not a member of SIF, certain people have chosen to smear the organization in an effort to hurt her political career. People really should stop circulating that nasty cult story, and not just because it is pure propaganda. The narrative was spawned out of revenge, and bears all the hallmarks of an emerging hate movement.

Thanks for the correction.
