Gabbard says racially divisive left lack a ‘spiritual foundation,' cites Youngkin win as ‘message of hope'

2021-11-09

[BIZ Place Review] U.S. Rep. Cori Bush’s bitter rhetorical attack on fellow Democrat Sen. Joe Machin for not supporting the totality of the Biden administration’s big-spending, so-called Build Back Better plan, represents a spiritual deficit on the far-left side of the political spectrum which is incongruent with the meaning of aloha.

That is the assessment of former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, from Hawaii.

"It really just shows again, that this is a symptom of a deeper, a lack of a spiritual foundation," Gabbard told Steve Hilton on his Fox News show Sunday evening, "where if you’re not able to see someone, regardless of party politics, regardless of your position, whether you agree or disagree, if you’re not able to see another person as a child of God, as someone that you can respect at that fundamental level, as a fellow American, then this is where we see all of this darkness coming from."

Since leaving Congress, the former 2016 Bernie Sanders supporter and 2020 presidential candidate has risen up as a strong free speech, individual freedom advocate who is, among other things, championing unity.

She is not shy about a willingness to criticize her own political party, including President Joe Biden (whom she previously endorsed) for its rampant divisiveness and failings.

Some may question Gabbard’s underlying motivation, but she has nonetheless emerged as a voice of reason that hardly conforms to the Democrats’ current inflexible, far-left agenda.

"And so it’s no wonder as you were talking about the results in Virginia," Gabbard continued, "that people chose to respond positively towards that message of hope, and optimism for our future, that message of coming together.

"That message of care and respect for all people. And this is again...this is where I find hope for our future. If we go back to those fundamental values and principles of who we really are, then this is how we can come together," she added.
