Tulsi Gabbard exits Democratic Party

Former US Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard - who was the first Hindu-American to run for the White House in 2020 - on Tuesday announced her exit from the Democratic Party ahead of next month's midterm elections

The former US Presidential candidate hit out at the democratic party for being “of, by and for the powerful elite” and not “of, by and for the people”.

"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," Gabbard said in the video.

“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,” she said.

Gabbard further called out on her fellow independent-minded Democrats to join her in leaving the 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,” she said.

"The Democrats of today believe in open borders and weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents. Above all else, the Democrats of today are dragging us ever closer to nuclear war" she said

Known for being a fierce critic of US President Joe Biden, she has slammed him for “pouring fuel on the flames” of the division in the country.
