Why not Tulsi Gabbard

[Franklin Pierce]

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'

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'.

'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.'

DailyMail.com columnist Meghan McCain congratulated Gabbard in a tweet saying 'there are so few free thinkers and independents left in this world and you are one of them. We are in your corner. Onward and upward!'

In February, she received a standing ovation for her speech attacking the 'power elite' and 'their co-conspirators in the mainstream media and the security state.'

She pleased crowd by saying that in an ideal world 'our leaders would haul (former Director of National Intelligence) James Clapper before a judge to answer for his lies to Congress about how the government is collecting information.'

She went after both Democrats and Republicans in Congress 'who talk a good game about civil liberties, but when it comes time to cast that vote on things like getting rid of secret FISA courts and protecting our fourth amendment rights to privacy, they vote on the side of the power elite and against liberty.'

In 2019, Hillary Clinton famously suggested the Russians were 'grooming' Gabbard, though didn't use the congresswoman's name.

Nobody is scared of homosexuals.

Then why does your party fight them so diligently?

 

[zeppelin128]

Well why the hail are you voting for Biden? Is it due to a byproduct of Pete? This is the oddest thing with you because you were once on his campaign.

Pete did not support M4A or the Green New Deal as it was written. He had his own policies and plans.

Biden doesn't support M4A either, unless he changed his mind like yesterday or something. I don't think he supports GND either, but I might be wrong on that.

Given the choice between Biden and Trump, that was a pretty easy decision for me to make.

Lol. Fight them? Refusing to celebrate something or grant special rights isn’t fighting anyone. Odd that a flaming liberal is making gay jokes then trying to call somebody else out.

It's always interesting to watch the mental gymnastics required to make equal=extra

I'll just leave this here.

Didn’t age well in regards to being more liberal. Mayor Pete took paternity leave during a supply chain crisis.

I’m for a 100% equality while also understanding that doesn’t mean making special rules for some or having to participate in what makes someone else happy.

I don't know about M4A, but are you telling me you believe Biden doesn't support GND? Come on man.

I was ahead of her so she’s joining me.
She’s not wrong and there are more of us every day.

I voted for TG in the primary (with about 119 other folks in the county)

Maybe you shouldn't defend him as much...

Exactly what has he done since being in office to deserve such support?

No response, @zeppelin128

I'm shocked...

Low hanging fruit of the evangelicals. (No pun intended)
To evangelicals it’s ok if they talk bad about each other, lie, cheat, and steal as long as they’re not gay.
They like to gloss over the “all have sinned and fallen short….” And decide for themselves which sins are truly the “bad” sins.

but I digress

He listed every positive accomplishment on Pete's resume.

He brought back malarkey.

He's not Trump is the generic answer of choice when there is no other option on the table.

I do agree with her on many things. I disagree with her on a bunch of stuff, too.

Both can be true. I've yet to see any politician I'd agree with 100%.

You won't, a good 80% is strong.

 

[DonjoVol]

Nobody "purged" her, she left on her own accord, which she should have done a long time ago since she hates liberalism so much. She's literally a member of the Bernie Sanders Institute and a far left populist hack. The right can have her. Maybe she can get a gig at RT now and go hang out in the Motherland.

Horseshoe theory go clang.

Lol. Whatever. You guys excommunicated and shunned her from the religion over a year ago.

You'll just have to wait until I get to my laptop. I'm not typing all that out on my phone.

You’ve lost your mind

Have you noticed that Zeppelin and EL aren't claiming anything Tulsi said was false.

 

[DonjoVol]

What party is fighting them?

You shouldn't lump all evangelicals into one basket.

Plus what you said could be applied to any religion or faith. Nobody is perfect.

 

[hog88]

Alright I over-reacted. I'm so used to having to take up for and defend Pete on here. All. The. Time. I get defensive.

Ya might want to let old Pete stand on his own and take an objective look at his record. It almost looks like you support him solely due to his sexual preference.

I didn't watch her video, so I don't know what she said. I usually ignore her anyways, so nothing new there.

After seeing "elite cabal", I stopped reading her tweet. Pointless when someone drops that phrase into a conversation/tweet to engage any further with them.

Dude they have basically passed the NGD and Pete has been a cheerleader for it.

It’s even ok if they’re gay as long as they hide it well….

But it’s true.
