Tulsi Gabbard's 2024 GOP presidential primary campaign kickoff speech at CPAC

Gabbard is trying to resurrect her political career by joining the Republican MAGA Qanon party. Lulz. It fits her better. I'll say that.


Tulsi Gabbard to Speak at CPAC, Joining Its ‘Great Un-Wokening’
Gabbard, who ran for president as a Democrat in 2020, once called Trump "unfit to serve." Now she's building buzz for the 45th president along with Marjorie Taylor Greene

In her 20-minute speech, Gabbard attempted to balance two opposing viewpoints: the idea of a “common foundation” in the American public, and the idea of a “powerful elite” aimed at canceling and silencing those who speak out against the government.


She touched on multiple themes prevalent throughout the 2022 gathering—free speech, an “authoritarian” Canada, and the idea that President Joe Biden views those who push back on him as “domestic terrorists.”

“What they’re telling us is you are an enemy of the state,” she said. “If you dare to oppose or even question the president, his administration, or his policies, ‘shut up, step back fall in line, or we’re coming after you.’ This isn’t some theory. This is reality.”


Her full speech at CPAC can be found here:


Toward the very beginning of her speech, she went right to the heart of Republican Christianity:

"this kind of tribalism is dangerous and is emblematic of an erosion of a spiritual foundation in this country. It's emblematic of this lack of recognition that we are all God's children. That we are one nation under God. and knowing that inspires us.

Our freedom comes from God. Not from any other person, not from anyone in government, our freedom comes from God and to recognize others as children of God is to appreciate we belong to God and no one else."


Then she connected God-speak to what MAGA GOP believe about Democrats:

Unfortunately we have too many Americans, including leaders in positions of great power in this country who are not at all committed to upholding the Constitution. We have too many Americans who don't even know what the Bill of Right are

This is the biggest threat to our country.


She goes on about how Democrats are trying mute "information" by labeling false Q bullshit and false conspiracy theories as "misinformation". Read between the lines -- she's saying the Big Lie about the 2020 election is true.

Why?

"Because they know their propaganda will not hold up to scrutiny"

This is just ten minutes into her speech. I'll stop quoting her.

We can expect to hear more from her. The ancient Greeks saw her brand of politics and named it -- demagogue.

This was Tulsi in 2019 on MuskRat.

The #AlabamaAbortionBIll is extremely dangerous. It completely takes away the freedom of women to choose whether or not to have an abortion--even if a woman/girl is a victim of rape or incest. This law must be rejected. #AbortionIsAWomansRight

Now though, she is in favor of what the Extreme Court has done to reproductive rights. I mean, Hannity. smh

They would even take one of them, if they vote in line with party, and dont call out crazy speak from any other member of the party.
They are a party without any beliefs or goals other than "owning" libs on whatever todays busiest platform is. Fking clown show
They specified no platform at the RNC in ‘20.

This is her very own declaration of independence from the Democratic Party:


I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party, it's now under the complete control of an elitist war mongers driven by cowardly wokeness who divide us by racializing every issue and stoking anti-white racism. Who actively work to undermine our God given freedoms enshrined in our Constitution and who are hostile to people of faith and spirituality. Who demonize the police. Who protect criminals at the expense of law abiding Americans. Who believe in open borders. Who weaponize the National Security State to go after their political opponents and above all are dragging us ever closer to nuclear war. Now these are some of the main reasons I'm leaving the Democratic Party.

There it is, folks.

She wants to be with these freedom loving Jesus and Trump flag carrying people:

Because the Democrats that crowd tried to kill on Jan 6 are about to do some real justice on that crowd's leaders. And because Democrats are helping Ukraine protect itself from her sponsor and source of funding.


Tulsi Gabbard’s Biggest Political Donor In 2021 Is A Putin Apologist


The largest individual donor to former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s (D-Hawaii) PAC in 2021 is an apologist for Vladimir Putin who runs a nonprofit that aims to foster cooperation between the U.S. and Russia. Gabbard has long taken pro-Russian positions, most recently on Sunday when she gave credence to a baseless Russian-supported conspiracy about U.S. involvement in biological-weapons laboratories in Ukraine.

Speaking of Gabbard's biggest political donor, check out what he had to say when Putin decided to invade Ukraine


Prologue:

February 25, 2022

Dear CCI Friends and Colleagues,
I have been stunned and speechless over the past few days.
This has all felt like a bad nightmare. I’ve holed up in my fourth floor condo overlooking a lake surrounded by redwoods and greenery. Not a sound other than an occasional duckling below. I deeply needed this solitude to make sense of what’s going on since returning from Russia on February 16.
Emails have come and gone, the facts have registered, egregious hatred and empathy noted, the former responses as Americans, Russians and Europeans spewed out feelings to justify their rage and concern; only a couple of whom have had personal experience with Vladimir Putin.


The middle describes his wonderful experiences in Russia and all the good things he did there with help from Putin's FSB. He then finishes with this piece of shit:

Epilogue:

I am deeply concerned about a NATO country being on Russia’s borders in Ukraine. NATO does the military leg work for the United States. It is to U.S.’s benefit to take out Russia to get her vast subsoil resources. This obviously is not in Russia’s best interests. Vladimir Putin knows this and has spoken out in every way possible to get attention to this topic.

The world is big enough for the U.S., Russia, China and other countries to cooperate and do well. We need to forego NATO and become a multi-polar world where the major wealthy countries help bring up the smaller nations, share resources and mediate disagreements.

As for Putin’s current dilemma, I’m sorry he felt he had to intervene in Ukraine! Perhaps he thought it was the only way he could get the world’s attention. He is obviously desperate to be heard as he has publicly stated. This may have been a wild move … maybe it exceeded his intentions?

This is what Gabbard is talking about. It's the US's fault that Putin is talking about Nuclear War. After all, poor little Putin is just trying to get the world's attention.

So, then there is this claim she keeps making about government suppressing free speech. This is what Gabbard said on Fox News March:

"This is why we’re seeing not only still most of the mainstream media very vigorously defending and pushing the Biden propaganda … It’s not enough that they also have Google and Big Tech basically working for them and with them to control what information we see and what information we don’t see …

"This is what’s so dangerous about the place that we’re in right now as a country, where this idea, this principle, this foundation of freedom of speech, freedom of expression is directly under threat and under attack. And you’re right, it’s not so different. What’s happening here is not so different from what we’re seeing happening in Russia, where you’ve got state TV and controlled messaging across the board. This is where we’re at."


Politifacts squashed that lie like the heel of a boot does in a cockroach:


Five experts told PolitiFact that Gabbard is wrong.

The claim is "absurd," said Scott Gehlbach, a professor of political science and an expert on Russia and Ukraine at the University of Chicago.

"In Russia, one can now face up to 15 years in prison for simply calling a war a war," Gehlbach said. "In the U.S., citizens such as Tulsi Gabbard are free to make not only truthful but untruthful statements without fear of legal sanction."

"The state in Russia is criminalizing speech and locking people up," said Rutgers Law School professor Ellen Goodman, the co-director of the university’s Institute for Information Policy and Law. "That is not happening in the U.S. — not at (the) hands of private parties or state."

So, enough with Gabbard's one day back in the spotlight. If she said it, it's most likely:
