Some Hawaii lawmakers are calling on the director of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for answers to why former state congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is included on a suspected terrorist watchlist.
Rep. Gene Ward, R - Dist. 18, Rep. Diamond Garcia, R - Dist. 42, Rep. David Alcos, R - Dist. 41, and Rep. Elijah Pierick, R - Dist. 39, sent a joint letter to TSA Director David Pekoske on Sunday.
In the letter, the Hawaii representatives accused the TSA of including Gabbard on the Quiet Skies Program watchlist without explanation. They also claim air marshals have harassed Gabbard and her husband on multiple flights.
