I hope she keeps her Pepe LePew stripe. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference between her and Nikki Haley without it.
Tulsi Gabbard leaving ‘elitist’ Democratic Party, blasts ‘cowardly wokeness’ By Mark Moore NY Post
Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard announced she is leaving the party Tuesday — blasting the political organization 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,” the Hawaii congresswoman said in a searing video posted on Twitter.
She 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.” Tulsi Gabbard accused Democrats of hurting “law-abiding Americans.” Tulsi Gabbard accused Democrats of hurting “law-abiding Americans.” Twitter/Tulsi Gabbard
Gabbard, who sought the Democratic nomination in 2020 before dropping out and endorsing Joe Biden’s candidacy, said she believes in a government “that’s of the people, by the people and for the people.”
“Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead it stands for a government that is of, by, and for the powerful elite,” she said.
Gabbard also addressed other disillusioned “common-sense” Democrats — calling on them to follow her lead.
“I’m calling on my fellow common-sense, independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party,” she continued.
“If you can no longer stomach the direction that the so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, and I invite you to join me.”
Glad to see a Democrat talking some sense. But politicians are extremely good talkers (some of them, anyway), and since she supported Biden as recently as 2020, I'll have to watch what she actually DOES for the next 127 years before I could ever trust her.
One reason the Dems control Congress is quite frankly their candidates quite often are more attractive than the Republican. And often they are ex-CIA, except there are no ex-CIA.
Tulsi is not perfect but I would vote for her over, say, Mitch McConnell.
