Tulsi Gabbard Declares Her Independence from the Democratic Party

Tulsi Gabbard announced her resignation as a Democrat in a video slamming the party and its leaders on Tuesday. "I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party, which is now completely controlled by an elitist cabal of warmongers motivated by cowardly wokeness, who separate us by racializing every topic and stoking anti-white bigotry," Gabbard said in a Twitter video. The former Democratic House Representative, who ran against Joe Biden for the party's presidential nomination in 2020, also attacked her former colleagues for being "hostile" to people of faith, demonizing police, believing in open borders, and "most importantly, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war." "I'm inviting my fellow common sense, independent-minded Democrats to join me in quitting the Democratic Party," Gabbard continued. "I encourage you to join me if you can no longer tolerate the way these so-called awakened Democratic Party ideologues are driving our country."
