Gabbard says what everyone knows
Source: Politico
At Donald Trumps rally tonight in North Carolina, Tulsi Gabbard just walked out on stage and announced that she is joining the Republican Party.
Gabbards announcement came two years after she decided to leave the Democratic Party in 2022 and become an independent. In the time since, Gabbard has campaigned extensively for Republican candidates, and she endorsed Trump in August.
Those of you here or those watching at home who are independent-minded people like myself, who love our country and are committed to the Constitution and to freedom, the Democrat Party is no home for people like us, Gabbard said.
She was previously a Democratic member of Congress and a Democratic presidential candidate in the 2020 election.

It was obvious she was heading that way by 2020. Good riddance.

(11,040 posts)... headed by a malignant narcissist who wants to jail his political opponents? And you're "committed to the Constitution and to freedom," so you're all in for said cult leader who not only regularly displays his contempt for the Constitution but has stated it should be "terminated" to allow retribution against people who challenged his election lies?
Girl, you suck at rationalizing.

(3,026 posts)I find it bizarre that she has switched to calling it the "Democrat" Party. They must take as vow to misidentify their opponents' real name. Is it something someone had to tell her to start doing you think?
But they all fucking do it and I don't understand why more media types don't ask them why.

(787 posts)She and her family are all Republicans, she had to pretend and grift her way as a Democrat to get into congress in Hawaii. A lot of us Clinton primary supporters caught on to her in 2016 or earlier. She never seemed genuine and it is astonishing how many people got pulled in by her charade and gave her any bit of prominence

(1,796 posts)During the VP debate , when confronted with the fact the hundreds of former Republican officials were backing Harris, JD Vance claimed that Trump had the support from some major Democratic Party leaders. Of course, the only Democrats he could name supporting Trump were Tulsi Gabbard & RFK JR. Gabbard had already left the Democratic Party but now she is officially a Republican. Leaving Trump with one single supporter of any note with any ties to to the Democratic Party (and his only real tie at this point is his father ran for President as a Democrat).

Her nasty, idiotic Twitter crap about the 2020 primaries being between her and Hillary Clinton, solidified her MAGAt creds. She wasn't fooling anyone.
What a filthy Putin fluffer.
