A former Democratic House member and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, Announced that she was leaving the party on Tuesday.
Gabbard accused the Democratic party as being an elitist cabal driven by cowardly woeness.
“I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms that are enshrined in our Constitution,” Gabbard, 41, said in a searing video posted on Twitter.
Gabbard, who gave up her House seat representing Hawaii to run for president in 2020, belittled the progressive party for being hostile to people of faith and spirituality, while demonizing the police and protecting criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans.
Gabbard also blamed party leaders of weaponizing national security to go after their political opponents, and above all, who are dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.
Gabbard, who endorsed Joe Biden’s candidacy after dropping out of the presidential race, said, “I believe in a government that’s of the people, by the people and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead it stands for a government that is of, by, and for the powerful elite.”
Gabbard also addressed other disillusioned common-sense Democrats, calling on them to follow her lead.
“I’m calling on my fellow common sense, independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party,” she said. “If you can no longer stomach the direction that the so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, and I invite you to join me.”
Gabbard didn’t address in her message whether she would be joining the Republican Party, register as a political independent, or join or start a third party.
She spoke in February to the Conservative Political Action Network, “I’m calling for unity and I lament the power elites who are eroding our individual rights. We have too many people in positions of power whose foremost responsibility is to protect our freedoms and uphold our God-given rights, and yet they are the ones who are actually trying to take these rights away from us. This is the biggest threat to our country. It is not coming from some foreign country, it is coming from power elites here at home and their co-conspirators in the mainstream media and the security state who are working to undermine our freedoms.”
Gabbard placed a sizable distance between herself and the Dems after her failed presidential bid and eventually went on to become a critic of Biden, denouncing him in May for labeling former President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement as the most extreme political organization that’s existed.
At the time, Gabbard criticized the president for equating Trump followers with terrorists in an attempt to intimidate them into silence.
“So he’s essentially saying that this, ‘MAGA crowd’ are worse than terrorists. This is outrageous. And so for every American who’s watching, every American who’s seen this, no matter how you feel about the MAGA crowd, this is an authoritarian assault on our freedom,” Gabbard said.
Gabbard has also called out former President Barack Obama for “refusing” to say “Islamic extremists” are waging a war against the United States.
Known for her strong libertarian streak, Gabbard has spoken about the need to ban private prisons and emphasize rehabilitation in the criminal justice system.
An advocate for abortion rights, Gabbard has called state laws that would restrict the procedure “extremely dangerous.”
“It completely takes away the freedom of women to choose whether or not to have an abortion, even if a woman/girl is a victim of rape or incest. This law must be rejected,” she said on Twitter in May 2019 while criticizing an Alabama statute.
Who wants her, she’s an idiot. She’s just a little smarter than the queen of scum AOC.
