Tulsi Gabbard says she's Leaving the Democrat Party

Tulsi Gabbard says she's LEAVING the Democrats: Ex-congresswoman says party is controlled by 'an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness' who 'stoke anti-white racism' and 'protect criminals'

By WILLS ROBINSON FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
11 October 2022

Former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard announced Tuesday morning she is leaving the Democratic Party in a series of tweets criticizing their 'cowardly wokeness' and accusing them of 'stoking anti-white racism'.

The ex-representative for Hawaii's 2nd district and United States Army Reserve officer accused the party of 'demonizing the police', 'protecting criminals', 'believing in open borders' and 'dragging us even closer to nuclear war'.

She also urged those who agreed with her to leave with just a month until the crucial midterm elections in a video attacking the institution whose members she clams 'actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms'.

I'm seeing a lot of people expressing some skepticism or, at least, urging caution in celebrating this. Tulsi has had an F rating from the NRA and a 100% rating with the Brady Campaign. She sure wasn't very conservative when she ran for president, although she did seem to be slightly more sane than the rest of the Democrat clown car. Worst of all, perhaps, she was a WEF Young Global Leader in 2015.


In other words, some might call her a wolf in conservative's clothing. I honestly don't know whether she's had a real epiphany or not, but will wait to see.

On Tulsi leaving the Democratic Party:  You don’t have to trust her. I don’t. But you also should understand that we’re in a cultural war and we’re losing. The losing side in a war doesn’t get to be in the business of rejecting reinforcements. Take the help you get.

You must choose one as your representative:

Many seen to forget that Trump was a dim once and espouted some left of center views.

Maybe I am mesmerized by her beauty, but I am willing to give her a voice, at least until she stabs us in the back.

You threw down the gauntlet.  Kinsinger is middle of the road at best, and a suckup to the left.  Cheney ... aside from the warmongering, and grandstanding on everything Trump related ... is tolerable.  Romney used to be okay as a northern republican, but tacks a little more to the left every year.  Gabbard is clearly left of center, albeit sane on cultural issues, and I agree with her on foreign affairs. 

So Cheney, but not by much.

Also fair. And like @roamer_1 those cards may fall in a different order as time passes.

Me?  I know what I am getting with the three original (R)’s and I don’t much like it. That gives Gabbard an opening in that hypothetical question. When I’ve heard her commentary in recent months, she has impressed me. So, we’ll see.

Right this minute, Gabbard mainly because she seems to really focus on the constitution and swims against the tide.  Don't always agree with her but that has never been my requirement.  And I don't get the feeling she is for sale..

The other 3 roll with the flow with the greatest return... nothing but emotional based reactions and no sound reasoning or even a basis for decision making.

She’s leaving the dims, she’s easy on the eyes, she’s Army trained, AND she’s right on cultural issues? Whoa!

In my opinion one of the most important components in restoring government to its constitutional roots is cleaning up the culture. In a couple of generations where schools would be returned to their proper role and function in a society of liberty-loving, free people, there would be millions of quality Americans ready to lead America in the White House and in the halls of congress.

Looks like more a position to be courted by both sides in the next alignment... the closer to center, the more valuable you become... Gabbard is still a leftist nut in my opinion.

 :amen:

I have a friend that’s pretty conservative and he made the statement a couple years ago that he would vote for Tulsi Gabbard if she ever ran. I asked which of her political positions does he support and he couldn’t name any

I don’t doubt her sincerity. But she still supports a lot of leftist policies

Tulsi Gabbard says she's Leaving the Democrat Party

She's leaving the Democrats along with 75% of everybody else in America.
The Democrat Party has gone batshit crazy nuts, even for nutcase hardcore Liberals.
