Former Congresswoman and 2020 Democratic Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard announced in a recent video she is officially leaving the Democratic Party.
In a clip originally recorded for her new Rumble show and released on Twitter, Gabbard went into depth on why she is choosing to walk away.
“I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that’s 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, who actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, that are enshrined in our constitution…who are hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police but protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, who believe in open borders, who weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.”
Gabbard continued, “Now, I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite. I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party. If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.”
The move may come as a surprise to the casual observer, but to the seasoned political junkie, the decision is not unexpected. Gabbard often made war within her own ranks. She was considered a “rogue” or “outsider” candidate during the 2020 election cycle. Criticizing neoliberal and neoconservative war policy, Gabbard made enemies along foreign policy lines.
In recent weeks, Gabbard has been attacking the Biden administration for border issues, inflation issues and even went after VP Kamala Harris for her comments on North Korea.
The Biden/Harris admin continues to undo policies that secure our borders, further exacerbating the immigration crisis and making our country less safe. This cannot continue. We can’t have a secure nation if we don't secure our borders.

The Biden Admin does not care about the American people. Permanent Washington loots us to serve the interests of the arms-manufacturing global oligarchy while we struggle to pay for rent, gas and groceries and our soldiers go on food stamps.

The party switch comes weeks before a midterm election to decide control of congress.

Where, in history, can we find another example of when an established, longstanding political party became domestic terrorist organization in its own country?
Today, the U.S. is reeling under this exact debacle:
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY INSURRECTION!
In the days of our founding, these perpe-“traitors” would be dealt with swiftly and severely.
Today’s Americans are left to depend on the true patriots to save our country. If the Republican Party cannot produce such loyal and courage souls, salvation will have to come from out of the ranks of America.
I agree is Ms. Gabbard. The Democratic party is completely unglued. Open borders, anti free speech, anti-life, pro-abortion do not bring Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Rampant inflation, high energy, are NOT helpful.
