Free Republic

Former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard was a rising star in the Democratic Party until she questioned the positions and policies of the Washington elites. In 2022, she left the party and is now sounding the alarm that unless America stops its descent into leftism, it will be lost forever. In a candid discussion, PragerU CEO Marissa Streit asks Tulsi why she left the left, where she gets her courage and ability to think freely, and how we can save our country.

We have no time to waste. We live in troubled times. Our nation is bitterly divided. Our future as a republic, as a union, appears bleak. The news – the noise, the insanity, the darkness – is something many of us want to shut out. There are times when all I want to do is grab my surfboard and paddle out into the ocean, or go for a hike in the mountains, and appreciate the peace and majesty of Mother Nature. But there is too much at stake, in this moment, to put our heads in the sand and go...

Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022, declined an offer to be Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s running mate in his independent presidential bid, she tells ABC News. "I met with Kennedy several times, and we have become good friends," she said in a statement. "He asked if I would be his running mate. After careful consideration, I respectfully declined." Gabbard declined to explain why she turned down that offer, which has not previously been reported. She is among an eclectic group of people whom Kennedy had considered for the role, including former Minnesota Gov. Jesse...

Earlier this week President Trump sat down for an interview with Laura Ingraham on FOX News. During the interview Laura Ingraham asked Donald Trump about possible Trump running mates in 2024. Vivek Ramaswamy, Ron DeSantis, Byron Donalds, Tim Scott, Kristi Noem, and Tulsi Gabbard were names that Ingraham mentioned. When asked about these names, President Trump agreed that these names were on his short list. ....Snip.... So, this is interesting, Tulsi Gabbard is going to headline a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago next month. The Hill reported: Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is slated to appear at former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort...

Former President Donald Trump has confirmed that six Republicans are on his shortlist for a potential running mate and vice president at a town hall on Monday. In his first hint at who could be his Vice President if he wins the election in November, Trump's list included two former opponents and an ex-Democrat. Trump, 77, confirmed Florida Governor and one-time foil Ron DeSantis, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, and Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina are all among the ex-rivals being considered. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Florida Republican Byron Donalds, and former Democrat Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard are on his shortlist....

This is a link to a YouTube interview with Tulsi Gabbard, in which she apparently confirms she may just accept the Vice Presidency, if offered the position by Donald Trump. Merry Christmas everyone. 😎

The ‘House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party’ was in session when a Code Pink activist disrupted it by holding up a sign reading, “China Is Not Our Enemy.” “The United States needs collaboration, not competition, with China,” she insisted. Collaboration was the correct term. While most people stopped paying attention to Code Pink in the aftermath of the Iraq War, the leftist anti-war group never went away, but beyond the backing for Venezuela, Iran and the other usual terror states, it’s become a vocal defender of China. The level of collaboration between Code Pink and China is unusual...

Tulsi mic drop: "A death rattle of any democracy is when a sitting president uses the state security apparatus to go after political opponents and cover up lies and crimes committed by himself or his family. Biden is doing that now."

Former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard is considering “all options” for a possible 2024 presidential bid as an independent or third party candidate. Gabbard spoke about her thoughts on entering the race in an interview last Friday with Sean Hannity on the Fox News Channel. Gabbard, a Lt. Colonel in the Army Reserve, served as a Democrat Congressman from Hawaii for four terms from 2013 to 2021 and ran for the Democrat presidential nomination in 2020. Gabbard left the Democratic Party last October, saying the party had become an “elitist cabal of warmongers”:

@TulsiGabbard I spent the day in East Palestine, Ohio with inspiring residents who have faced this toxic catastrophe with resilience and hope, despite lack of support from our leaders and federal govt. I had Deja vu seeing the American people need to beg our leaders for basic support in times of disaster, exposing how little they care about us. Video...

Former Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard tore into Utah GOP Sen. Mitt Romney this week after he previously accused her of treason. During a House hearing on the weaponization of the DOJ and FB, Gabbard attended as one of the witnesses and offered her opinion on the “corrupt” relationship between Big Tech and the federal government. Gabbard noted that when she ran for president in 2020, a woman approached her and demanded to know if she was working for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Those accusations were first uttered by twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who accused Gabbard of being “groomed by...

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) ripped into Rep.-elect George Santos (R-N.Y.) over his embellishments and fabrications about his background, asking him point-blank, “Do you have no shame?” “If I were one of those in New York’s 3rd District right now, now that the election is over, and I’m finding out all of these lies that you’ve told, not just one little lie or one little embellishment — these are blatant lies — my question is, do you have no shame?” Gabbard asked while filling in for Fox News host Tucker Carlson in an interview with Santos on Tuesday evening. “Do...

It continues to amuse me how presumably-conservative keyboard warriors latch onto — and sing the praises of — various Democrat “renegades,” including Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona (the Democrat darling of the pseudo-right), who recently announced she was leaving the Democrat Party. The question is, Sinema might be “leaving,” but how far away is she going? So in an effort to get a few things on the record, mostly the reasons she left the Democrat Pary to register as an Independent, Sinema penned an op-ed for the Arizona Republic, in which she said, fundamentally:Americans...

@TulsiGabbard It’s no accident the number of transgender youth doubled in the last 5 years, and children mastectomies are up 389%. It’s a direct result of the radical ‘woke’ agenda being pushed on our kids by so-called “healthcare professionals,” MSM/social media, and even Biden directly.

<p>One month after leaving the Democratic Party, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii is joining Fox News as a paid contributor.</p><p>A representative for the conservative-leaning cable channel confirmed Gabbard signed a deal Monday and will start appearing on its programs next week.</p>

@TulsiGabbard 'Woke' doctors/hospitals, Biden admin & MSM encourage mutilating bodies & minds of children questioning their identity. They call it “gender affirming”. No—it’s abuse/mutilation. These hospitals should lose all govt funding & the doctors should lose their licenses & be imprisoned

Anyone else thinking this is a bad sign?

@TulsiGabbard “Woke” doctors and hospitals mutilating children’s bodies and minds for money/profit should not only lose their licenses and be cut off from all federal/state funds, they should be imprisoned.

Tulsi Gabbard tackles the second amendment and her history with gun rights. The former Hawaii Congresswoman and combat veteran explains what experiences caused her to rethink her previously held views. SOME QUOTES: "I once thought that's not something we would never have to do in America.. Protect ourselves against a tyrannical government? This is the land of the free!". "The right to bear arms IS the deterrent that our Founders intended to push back against government tyranny". "My views on the 2A have changed over the years".

@TulsiGabbard Tim Ryan represents everything that is wrong with the warmongering Washington Establishment. I’m endorsing @JDVance1 because he knows the cost of war, and that our government exists to serve the people, not the other way around.
