“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,” Gabbard wrote.
Her departure is not a surprise, as Gabbard has been a vocal critic of the Democrats and the Biden administration, primarily on matters of free speech, border security and Second Amendment rights.
The Biden Admin does not care about the American people. Permanent Washington loots us to serve the interests of the arms-manufacturing global oligarchy while we struggle to pay for gas/food/rent and our soldiers go on food stamps.

Kamala Harris’ statement that “we have a secure border” is further evidence that she’s either completely disconnected from reality or she’s blatantly lying. Either way, she has no business being a heartbeat away from the presidency. pic.twitter.com/oR0ajRgFU6

Gabbard did not make any comments about what party she will be joining, but her criticism of Democrats has made her popular among some Republicans.
Thank you for your courage. For standing up for what is right. May God bless you as you lead by example and make a difference for the USA!!

Finally, a common sense, pro-America Democrat who is brave enough to walk away. Well done, @TulsiGabbard.

Some, however, may eye her warily if she chooses to run against traditional conservatives in 2024. According to persistent rumors, she is an alumna of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leader training program.
Many of her cohorts in the program have gone on to fill leadership roles in their respective nations while pushing a globalist agenda that is increasingly tone deaf and authoritarian.
