VIDEO: Tulsi Gabbard... say wut?

Tulsi Gabbard is an American politician, United States Army Reserve officer and political commentator who served as the Congressthingy for Hawaii's 2nd District from 2013 to 2021. Gabbard was the first Hindu member of Congress and also the first Samoan-American voting member of Congress.

In 2020, Ms Gabbard proved the danger of over-estimating yourself. She chose not to run for re-election to Congress -- a contest she could have won easily -- but to throw her had into the ring for the Democratic nomination for the presidensity. That March, seeing her folly, she ended her presidential candidacy and endorsed Demented Joe.

Since then, although still describing herself as a Democrat, Ms Gabbard has taken conservative positions on social issues, including abortion and transgender rights. She endorsed Florida's Parental Rights in Education Act, and was a featured speaker at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

Yesterday, Tulsi Gabbard resigned from the so-called Democratic Party, officially rejecting all its pomps, works and empty promises. Here is the video of her auto-da-fé.

    

In case you're having trouble believing your ears, here's the transcript:

 

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, are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police and 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. 

We forgive you, Tulsi, and welcome you to the fight to Make America Great Again.
