Former Democrat lawmaker Tulsi Gabbard endorses Trump for US president

Tulsi Gabbard Trump endorsement news

Tulsi Gabbard has been listed among the leading Republican candidate’s possible running mates.

Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii has denounced her former party as enemies of democracy driven by a lust for power, while praising the Republican favorite for the presidential nomination, Donald Trump.

Gabbard was once the vice-chair of the Democratic National Committee, but resigned in 2016 to protest the “rigging” of the party primaries against Bernie Sanders and in favor of Hillary Clinton. On Thursday, she spoke at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), held just outside the US capital.

In her speech, Gabbard denounced the “Democrat elite and the swamp creatures in Washington” as having no respect for Americans and their rights, and being “driven by their insatiable hunger for power.”

Democrats claim that Trump will “destroy our democracy” if elected, she argued.

“They say he will be the dictator-in-chief, that if he’s elected it will be the last election this country sees. It’s laughable. This is so crazy, it’s laughable. They’re justifying their actions by telling themselves that they need to destroy our democracy in order to save it. It’s lunacy and it’s the mindset and mentality of dictators,” said Gabbard. “They are waging a multi-front battle and they will stop at nothing until they’re successful.”

She praised Trump as “a fighter” whose strength and resilience come from “a sincere love and concern for the future of our country and his care for the American people.” Meanwhile, President Joe Biden, whom she endorsed in 2020, would “crumble” under a fraction of the pressure and attacks currently directed against Trump, she said.

Gabbard denounced attempts by multiple US states to take Trump off the ballot, as well as prosecutions intended to convict him of anything ahead of the November vote. The most recent judgment against Trump’s business in New York, she said, was “very clearly a politically motivated hit job.”

The speech “sounded like an audition for the vice-presidency,” according to the Guardian, which disapproved of Gabbard’s message. The British outlet noted that she was met with “a standing ovation and cheers” and “notably more enthusiasm” than former British PM Liz Truss, who also addressed the gathering.

Trump is seeking a rematch with Biden, who officially won the 2020 election with the most votes in US history. Earlier this week, he reportedly mentioned Gabbard as a possible running mate.

The 42-year-old lieutenant-colonel in the US Army Reserve served in the House of Representatives from 2013 to 2021. She left the Democrats in 2022, denouncing them as elitist warmongers driven by “cowardly wokeness” who sought to divide Americans by “racializing every issue.”

  1. She is an ex colonel. So a good military level and background. Further i watched quite a while ago videos of her on YT. She has plain common sense as far as i can judge, which is an asset.
    There is also a video of her and Tucker carlson somewhere. Lovely woman.
    Nice change of those horrible democrat geriatrics

  2. Trump would be useful
    In getting rid of Biden
    Then he would need to be replaced
    Has got more baggage than I have got all day to write about

  3. Biden did NOT get the most amount of votes in U.S. history-Donald Trump did, and we watched the election returns in REAL TIME via TVNZ & Al-Jazeera. We saw the count get switched, with the Deep State operatives hoping no one would notice!
    Our affidavits and wirness statements to that effect that were couriered to Mar-A-Lago never got a response…
    This time around, if Trump is once again cheated out of the Presidency, there will be a massive uprising / Civil War ll due to the Biden Criminal Cartel that is purposefully destroying the U.S., and then the rest of the world using lawfare and deeply-rooted Talmudic Zionism that the Mossad has entrenched in the Western World by compromising the politicians and NGO’s.

    • Well said, Well Oiled. On the money (if I can use such a term with elites looking on). Yes, those pesky media folks will pervert the truth at every opportunity. Anyway, we’re in for an interesting election one way or the other. All the best..

  4. If Trump picks Tulsi Gabbard as his VP, it is a no brainer, I would 110% be voting for Trump, and I am not a Trump supporter, till I heard he wants Tulsi Gabbard as running mate. She is a stand-up US veteran and one straight shooter. Trump would get my vote if he picks her as his running mate, lock, stock and barrel.

    • I agree, Tulsi would make a great VP however Kari Lake is also good.

      He is spoilt for choice with those two and whoever he’s doesn’t pick should get a very senior role within the government.

  5. I wouldn’t trust her with the milk money, she’s just like Nimrata, a democrat trying to pose as a Republican and its not working, when she commented that democrats are enemies of democracy it made me wonder if she knows that the US is a constitutional republic, leopards don’t change their spots.
