After resigning from a leadership post with the Democratic National Committee so that she can endorse White House hopeful Bernie Sanders, Hawaii Democrat Tulsi Gabbard admitted she was warned against breaking away from Hillary Clinton.
"I'll be very honest with you, a lot of people warned me against doing what I did," Gabbard told MSNBC's Brian Williams Tuesday night.
"But this is a very serious issue and what I did speaks to the high stakes that exist. War is a very real thing, it's real to me, it's real to our service members and their families."
The Hill notes that Gabbard, a veteran, made her surprise decision to back Sanders during a Sunday interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," as well as warned that the former secretary of state's record suggests that her leadership would "include a future of more interventionist wars and regime change."
The Super Tuesday results show Clinton won seven states, while Sanders won four.
