This might awaken some of the woke folk..Tulsi Gabbard, a Democratic Party congresswoman from Hawaii for 20 years and a 2020 candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, announced her departure from the party in a scathing video, the inaugural episode of The Tulsi Gabbard Show, a podcast she is now running..“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 and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police and 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,” she said..“I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite. I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party.”.“If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.”.Gabbard, who is a member of the US Army reserve and retired from the House of Representatives in 2021, concluded by saying, "I don't want to leave you feeling hopeless. Let's remember the vision our Founding Fathers had for this country. The ideals they set forth. I believe in a government that is of the people, by the people and for the people. Unfortunately, today's Democratic Party does not. Instead, they stand for a government of, by and for the powerful elite.".She served four terms in the US House of Representatives and, after dropping out of the race for the presidential nomination, she threw her support behind Joe Biden. However, she was the only candidate with primary delegates not to be invited to the 2020 Democratic National Convention..Gabbard has grown increasingly estranged from the Democratic establishment since her failed candidacy in the 2020 presidential primary, becoming a vocal critic of Biden, denouncing him for "pouring fuel on the flames" of division in the country..In February, she was a speaker at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference), an annual political conference attended by conservative activists and elected officials from across the United States and beyond, which may have sealed her fate with the Democrats..Former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, praised Gabbard for ditching the Democrats in a statement on Fox News, arguing she is one of many Americans who traditionally have voted blue, but now find the Democrats unrecognizable..“She has always been sort of an independent maverick," Gingrich said. "And I think when she ran for president, she realized how really isolated she was from the great majority of the Democratic Party, which is now, frankly, a pretty weird party and I think you're seeing this drift. And we've certainly seen among Latinos a huge drift towards the Republican Party as they're driven away by the weirder policies of the Democratic Party.".Fox News commentator, Raymond Orroyo invoked some well-known names on hearing the news about Gabbard..“When I heard that, I thought of Ronald Reagan and Elon Musk, from time gone by and now. They didn't leave the party, the party left them,” said Orroyo. “The party changed, it warped, it became something they didn’t recognize and in the case of Tulsi Gabbard, I have to tell you, it breaks my heart that we don’t have a fully functional Democratic party today.”.“This is not a full functioning party that welcomes other viewpoints, allows normalcy and the middle to come home. This party, the national party, no longer welcomes that and the fact they couldn’t make room for a veteran, an articulate woman of conscience. This is a woman who supported Bernie Saunders, so she’s hardly some right-winger who was embedded in the Democratic party.”.“When Tulsi Gabbard leaves, it a big sign for the Democratic Party.”.This is what the Western Standard is up againstThe Trudeau government is funding lies and propaganda by directly subsidizing the mainstream media. They do this to entrench the powerful Eastern, woke and corrupt interests that dominate the political, social and economic institutions in Canada.
