Tulsi Gabbard: Today's Democratic Party is 'an elitist cabal of warmongers'

Former US Congresswoman and 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has said that today’s Democratic Party is "under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers."

Gabbard announced she is leaving the Democratic Party. "I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party," she tweeted on Tuesday.

The former Hawaii representative, who has taken conservative positions on contemporary issues, called upon other "common sense independent-minded Democrats" to exit with her.

"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," Gabbard said in a video posted on Twitter.

In the video, she claimed that the party she's exiting stands for the "powerful elite," not the people.

"If you can no longer stomach the direction that the so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country. I invite you to join me," she said.

In her announcement, Gabbard touted a number of traditionally conservative talking points, repeating right-wing rhetoric like "wokeness" and "elites," and harkening back to phrasing top GOP leaders have regularly circulated.
