On Tuesday, former Democrat Representative Tulsi Gabbard (HI) announced that she would be joining the Republican Party after seeing how radical Democrats have become.
The former Democrat presidential nominee left the party in 2022 and became an independent as the party began “radicalizing every issue” and embracing “wokeness.”
Gabbard made the announcement with former President Donald Trump during his rally in Greensboro, North Carolina.
She said that the Democrat Party has become “completely unrecognizable” in recent years as it has embraced censorship, open borders, and has weaponized law enforcement against its political opponents.
“It is because of my love for our country and specifically because of the leadership that President Trump has brought to transform the Republican Party and bring it back to the party of the people and the party of peace that I’m proud to stand here with you today, President Trump, and announce that I’m joining the Republican Party,” Gabbard said.
“I am joining the party of the people, the party of equality, the party that was founded to fight against and end slavery in this country,” she said. “It is the party of common sense and the party that is led by a president who has the courage and strength to fight for peace.”
“So as we stand here today, we have 14 days until the most historic election of our lives,” she continued. “And my message to my fellow Americans, regardless of your political affiliation, now is the time for us to stand together to save our country. There is nothing less than that that’s on the line. A vote for President Trump is a vote for a big, open tent party that welcomes people from all backgrounds and all walks of life.”
“A vote for President Trump is a vote to express our deep love for our country and our appreciation for our God-given rights and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution,” she added. “A vote for President Trump is a vote for secure borders and safe communities, and a vote for President Trump is a vote for peace here in America and around the world.”
