Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii was the only member of her party to vote 'present' on two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump during Wednesday's historic vote.
Gabbard, a Democratic presidential candidate, did not speak on the floor while leaders of both parties doled out slots in 30-second and one-minute increments. When the voting finally occurred Wednesday night, she voted 'present' on both an abuse of power article and one accusing Trump of obstructing Congress by thwarting the impeachment inquiry.
She was seen standing agains the back wall of the chamber on the side where Republicans sit during the second vote. -- excerpt, rest at link above --

She's an interesting character. Almost like a slowly thawing caveman.
