Failed presidential candidate and former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has said she is no longer a Democrat and decried what she called “an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness” in the Democratic party.
In remarks similar to Republican attacks lines on President Biden, Gabbard attacked Biden’s border policy and Democrat “ideology”, as well as so-called hostility “to people of faith & spirituality” as well as the alleged “demonization” of the police.
Of course, Gabbard failed to acknowledge that Biden, who is Catholic, has long expressed his support for law enforcement, particularly in light of the attack on the US Capitol by Trump supporters on January 6.
Gabbard also alleged that today’s Democratic Party has “weaponized the national security state to go after political opponents” in an apparent reference to Republican criticism of the Justice Department investigation into former US president Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents. She also accused Democrats of “dragging us ever closer to nuclear war” for supporting Ukraine against Russia.
Political analysts expressed a lack of surprise over the former congresswoman’s departure from the party.
“Tulsi is such a fraud, and shame on every progressive who tried to sell her as one of ‘us’, wrote political pundit Joan Walsh of Gabbard’s comments on “anti-white racism”.
“Wait. You were a Democrat?? Sure could have fooled me,” added MSNBC host Katie Phang.

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 & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are… pic.twitter.com/oAuTnxZldf

Remember when Hillary Clinton said there was a Russian asset without saying anyone’s name and Tulsi Gabbard immediately freaked out.

Re Tulsi Gabbard: Makes sense. If you're pro-Assad and pro-Putin, you join today's Republican Party.

Does anyone actually give a shit?— Jo 🌻 (@JoJoFromJerz) October 11, 2022
Tulsi Gabbard is a liar, a gaslighter, a propagandist, a failure, & a loser.
She’s a Russian asset who doesn’t belong in America, let alone in the Democratic Party.
Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya, you filthy traitor.

Today, Tulsi Gabbard announced she is leaving the Democratic Party, which is about six years after sensible Democrats announced it.

Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset and a fucking treasonous dickhead.

Love Hillary, hate Hillary, whatever. But I for one absolutely loved how she destroyed Tulsi Gabbard’s presidential campaign, exposed her as Russian asset, and pushed her to out herself — without even mentioning her name. Simply brilliant.

Tulsi Gabbard announcing she’s no longer a democrat is like Putin announcing he’s no longer a humanitarian. Goodbye Russia asset.
