Tulsi Gabbard leaving ‘elitist' Democratic Party, blasts ‘cowardly wokeness'
2022-10-11
[NYP] Former Democratic House member and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard announced she was leaving the party Tuesday — blasting it as an "an elitist cabal" driven by "cowardly wokeness."

"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, condemned 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."

She then accused party leaders of weaponizing national security "to go after their political opponents, and above all, who are dragging us ever closer to ​nuclear war.​"​​

#10  Ms Gabbard stepped down from her House seat to run for president in 2020, and has not run for anything since. It will be interesting to see if she gets back on that horse in 2024, or chooses instead to continue with her podcast and Fox News appearances as a public intellectual.

#9  For my money the most good looking Dem in many, many years.

Also, a lucid and logical sounding individual even if some of her opinions are way left and others are just odd.

#4  She may be a Democrat analog to Trump- a voice for the non-insane

#3  She's anti-gun, she'll go nowhere in the GOP.

Have fun wandering in the desert Tulsi. Remember when you met with Butcher Assad and ruined your career? Now it's totally gone, not just mostly.

#2  Tulsi has proven to the globalist elites that control our candidates, that she is politically unreliable. Tulsi better find religion regarding the 2A if she's ever going to gain any traction w/the America First crowd.

For now, I'm liking Kari Lake. That chick …. Ésa mamasita está como un fuego.

#1  I guess she hit the plunger on the C4 charges attached to that bridge. I think we can rule her out of any guest appearance on The View as well.
