Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) was called out on Twitter this week after she defended the insurrectionists that stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
The former congresswoman was criticized for her latest series of tweets.
She tweeted the following:
“The mob who stormed the capitol to try to stop Congress from carrying out its constitutional responsibilities were behaving like domestic enemies of our country. But let us be clear, the John Brennan’s, Adam Schiffs and the oligarchs in Big Tech who are trying to undermine our constitutionally-protected rights and turn our country into a police state with KGB-style “surveillance” are also domestic enemies—and much more powerful, and therefore dangerous, than the mob which stormed the capitol.”

President Biden, I call upon you & all of Congress from both parties to denounce efforts by Brennan & others to take away our civil liberties endowed to us by our Creator & guaranteed in our Constitution. If you don’t stand up to them now, then our country will be in great peril.

Gabbard was called a “Republican” by Twitter users, many accusing her of switching sides.
Here are some of the responses:
I used to like you, but you are full on Republican now…

Damn girl, you flipped like a pancake. How much did the @GOP pay you to spin up like this? @TulsiGabbard, I really wanna know… I might be willing to sell out too…

So you're good with them plotting, preparing and inciting, even attacking to protect the traitors? Got it

Which civil liberties are being taken away? The liberty to overturn a democratically held election? The liberty to intimidate duly elected government officials by show of automatic weapons? The right to incite insurrection? Which?

Lets be clear by talking about how to hold those who stormed the capitol and those who incited them by lying about the election accountable. Try to stay focused on what's most important now.

You are downplaying an attempted fascist coup against the United States of America that was planned, organized and had the support of high level Govt. Officials. There must be an investigation and accountability for this great crime against our Democracy. Shame on you.

And you ran on the democratic ticket while supporting this authoritarian view?!?

We’re behaving “like” domestic enemies? Tulsi is giving terrorists a pass and pivoting to vilification of the patriot act. Hmm, what could be her motive here?
