Former U.S. congresswoman and 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidate Tulsi Gabbard suddenly quit the Democratic Party early Tuesday morning.
In her announcement, Gabbard blasted the “elitist cabal” running the Democratic Party that is “driven by cowardly wokeness” to divide American voters.
”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 Hawaiian politician wrote in a scathing social media message.
“I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the people,” Gabbard said. “Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite.”
She called on any remaining moderate and conservative Democrats to join her and quit the party.
“I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party,” she said.
“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.”
Take a look —
…hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.
