(RepublicanWire.org) – New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez got more than she bargained for at a recent town hall where she was confronted by furious constituents. The constituents hammered her for voting to send funds to Ukraine and, in their opinion, push the United States closer to nuclear war.

“None of this matters unless there’s a nuclear war, which you voted to send arms and weapons to Ukraine,” one of the protesters said on Wednesday. “You ran as an outsider, yet you’ve been voting to start this war in Ukraine. You’re voting to start a third nuclear war with Russia and China. Why are you playing with the lives of American citizens?”

“Tulsi Gabbard has shown guts where you’ve shown cowardice,” another protester said. “I believed in you, and you became the very thing you sought to fight against.”

“I believed in you, and you became the very thing you sought to fight against. That’s what you’ve become,” he said. “You are the establishment.”

The representative argued back but it is tough to hear in the video. But she did vote to send $40 billion in military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine in May.

Being “war hawks” was one of the reasons that former Democrat Rep. Gabbard left the Democrat Party, but not the only one.

Gabbard, who has been critical of the party in recent times, has finally had enough of the “wokeness” and “warmongers” in the party, calling it an “elitist cabal.”

“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,” she said on Twitter while not elaborating on whether she would join another Party.

“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,” the former representative said.

“I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me n 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,” she said.

It was a brutal statement that took down the entire Party and its leaders.

(RepublicanWire.org) – Tulsi Gababrd, former Democrat Congresswoman from Hawaii and former candidate for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, announced on Monday morning that she is leaving that party. Gabbard cited elitism, a penchant for war, a hostility toward people of faith, and the radicalization of “every issue” as reasons that she is walking away, and she urged other Americans to do so as well.

“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, are dragging us ever closer to NUCLEAR WAR,” Gabbard said.

“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,” Gabbard added. “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.” 

She made the announcement on the first episode of her new series, The Tulsi Gabbard Show. Gabbard has been an outspoken critic of the Biden administration and their policies, and that comes from a place of dissapointment. She noted that Biden ran on a platform of unity, but instead of working toward that goal, he has demonized half the country and uses the government to target his political opponents.

Gabbard’s concerns with the party she has been with since she first ran for state legislative office in Hawaii were many. She took issue with the Democrat’s disregard for second amendment rights, for American’s right to religion, and their irresponsible push toward nuclear war with Russia. She said the Democrats are erasing women by pushing their policies that males who say they are women really are women, and encouraging parents to “affirm” a child’s gender identity, even to the point of sterilizing drugs and surgeries.

“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.”

Gabbard has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris as a hypocrite for her drug policies when she was attorney general of California. She said the Biden administration engages in “child abuse” when they push for medicalized gender transition of children, she slammed Biden for making “diversity hires” and nominations, and she decried the administration’s Disinformation Governance Board, which was intended to dispels what they termed online “misinformation.”

(RepublicanWire.org) – Following the persecution and prosecution of former Trump aide and committed conservative Steve Bannon, who was dragged before a court for “contempt of Congress” over confusion regarding executive privilege and the committee, former Democrat Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard spoke out, breaking from her former party in slamming the politicized DOJ for its persecution of a political enemy of the Biden regime.

She did so in a tweet that included her summation of what has so far happened and a video in which she tore into the DOJ with a vengeance, blasting it for how politicized it has gotten.

Gabbard tweeted, “Steve Bannon has been charged with contempt of Congress & found guilty, while Brennan, Clapper & others who lied to Congress have never been charged or prosecuted. This just shows yet again how the DOJ has been weaponized by those in power to go after their political opponents.”

Gabbard focused particularly, as you can hear in the video, on the contrast between how Steve Bannon has been treated with how others who, unlike Bannon, blatantly lied to Congress and engaged in obviously illegal, dangerous activity have been treated.

Speaking on that, Tulsi noted, “No matter what you think or feel about Steve Bannon the fact that he has been found guilty of contempt of Congress, yet others have faced no consequences at all.”

(RepublicanWire.org) – The Biden Administration is claiming that it alone can determine truth in order to justify using the full power of government to punish dissent, former congresswoman and Democrat presidential contender Tulsi Gabbard warned on Saturday.

In her keynote speech at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver, Colorado, Gabbard warned of the Biden Administration’s use of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ) to declare what is “true,” and not “misinformation” – and, then, enforce its decrees.

“One of the latest tactics that they are using, as you well know, is they claim they want to protect us from ‘misinformation,’ protect us from that which they claim is not true,” Gabbard said.

“They do so backed by the most lethal force on Earth, as they appoint themselves as the sole authority and voice of the truth, of what is information,” Gabbard warned her audience:

“So, they decide what is true and false. They decide what is misinformation and what is information.

“And, those who don’t toe the line are accused of spreading misinformation and being targeted and smeared.”

“But, it’s crazy, because, rather than actually engaging in debate, in discussion, or even entertaining answering questions sincere questions based on substance, they immediately resort to smears and name-calling.”

“Even more dangerous than getting canceled is how they weaponize the government against the people,” Gabbard warned, noting how President Biden is using the DHS to target anti-authority views and DOJ to go after parents who disagree with school board policies:

“Biden’s Department of Homeland Security declared that we are facing a heightened domestic terror threat in this country, based on three factors, the first of which is ‘the proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions.’ The number one threat.

“They’re the ones who get to decide what are false or misleading narratives – and, therefore, they get to decide who is targeted because of it.

“You know, Biden’s attorney general charged his domestic terrorist unit with going after people who hold anti-authority views – including parents. Parents who dare to stand up to their boards of education and their schools because they care about their children’s education. Think about the impact of this from a practical standpoint.”

As long as Americans are subjected to censorship, intimidation, targeting, and the threat of losing their livelihoods if they dissent from government, they’ve lost their ability to freely choose their leaders, Gabbard said:

“How do We The People vote to choose a president when we don’t even have the freedom of engaging in a marketplace of ideas, or sharing our opinion, listening to other perspectives, assessing the information that we’ve gathered and making our own informed decision about who deserves the honor and responsibility of serving as commander-in-chief?

“We can’t. We can’t do this – as long as we live in a society where we’re surrounded by intimidation and fear of being targeted, being canceled, and having to self-censor so we don’t lose our jobs and our ability to provide for our families.”

(RepublicanWire.org) – Our country’s ruling class doubled down in its efforts to silence anyone who dares dissent from their approved narrative. 

On March 9, 2022, Democrat Tulsi Gabbard offered the following comments to Fox News concerning our government’s handling of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

“Nothing that the Biden administration has done has helped make this situation better nor has it helped deescalate the situation. When I look at these issues, I think about what is in the best interests of the American people [and] the continued escalation of this conflict and this war is not in the best interest of Americans or the world. … People like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, all use this flowery language about how you know we’ve got to take a stand and pay the price … for freedom. The question that we should all be asking them is OK, tell us how Russia somehow has the power to take away … the rights that are enshrined in our Bill of Rights. The answer is, they don’t; they don’t have that power. So, the lines that we’re being sold are just crap. … It’s crap.”

Ms. Gabbard then summarized: “The ‘Power Elite’ in Washington” is doing all this simply to further their goals; “their warmongering” and their “military-industrial complex.”

And for all the above, Ms. Gabbard was then declared verboten by Google and YouTube, and her comments were flagged this week by “fact-checkers” as “inappropriate and offensive to some audiences.” 

So, there you have it. Ms. Gabbard just said something that, for all intents and purposes, is indistinguishable from what the leaders of her own party have said a thousand times over when they criticized former Presidents George Bush, Ronald Reagan or for that matter Lyndon B. Johnson, and she was canceled for doing so. 

This kind of censorship should bother you. Or as Tucker Carlson recently said, “When every orifice of the national media, fully aligns [with the political establishment] to push a single message, this ought to make you nervous.”
