Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard leaves ‘warmongering’ Democratic party

In a nearly one and a half minute video, former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard addressed everything wrong with her former party. Gabbard tweeted the video, which garnered millions of views in a matter of hours, and pointedly titled it “I am leaving the Democratic Party.”

The former 2020 presidential candidate, former Congresswoman and veteran, linked to a full statement on YouTube that runs almost 30 minutes long. Gabbard tweeted verbiage of the highlights and called upon others in the Democratic party to join her:

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…

…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.

I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite. 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.
