Former Hawaii Democrat Congresswoman and Democratic Presidential Nominee contender, Tulsi Gabbard announced on Monday that she is leaving the Democratic Party.
Citing concerns with elitism, hostility towards faith, warmongering, and radicalization as some of the key issues behind her decision. She also encouraged other liberals to do the same in her announcement.
“I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that’s under the complete control of an elitist cabal of war mongers who are driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by radicalizing every issue and stoking anti-white racism, who actively worked to undermine our God given freedoms that are enshrined in our Constitution, who are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police will protect criminals at the expense of law abiding Americans who believe in open borders, who weaponize the national security state to go after their political opponents. And above all, were dragging us ever closer to NUCLEAR WAR,” she said.
“Now I believe in a government, that’s of the people, by the people, and for the people,” she added. “Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government that is 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 the so called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country. I invite you to join me.”

The announcement was made on the first episode of her new series, The Tulsi Gabbard Show.
Gabbard is a well-known critic of the Biden administration and its policies. She remarks that Joe Biden ran on a commitment of unifying the country, but has been extremely divisive in his short tenure as President. She also noted that Biden has unconstitutionally used the government power to target his political opponents.
Gabbard has always been one of the most vocal critics of the Democratic Party. From the extreme gun control policies, extreme demonization of faith and its practices, current warmongering and pushing for a nuclear war with Russia, support for woke gender theory, critical race theory and pushes for sexualization in classrooms have been reasons Gabbard has called out her own party.
“President Biden and Democratic Party elites have pushed us to the precipice of nuclear war,” she said, “risking starting World War Three and destroying the world as we know it. This is the most urgent existential threat that we face. I ran for President in 2020. Because I knew that this is where we were headed. All the signs were there. I raised this issue every single day during the I can no longer run on the National Democratic those of you who may have come to a town hall and watching I’m sure you noticed, but the politicians and the media completely ignored it. They didn’t care then. And they don’t care now.”
