Tulsi never holds back. Even against her own party.
Former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has voiced her apprehensions regarding what she perceives as a deliberate attempt by Democrats to prevent former President Donald Trump from appearing on the 2024 ballot. In an interview on Fox News’s “Hannity,” Gabbard, now an Independent, expressed her concerns over the decision made by Maine’s top election official, a Democrat, to exclude Trump from the state’s ballot, considering it a dangerous precedent.
They spied on his campaign. They impeached him. They created a special counsel to harass him. They went after him with rogue prosecutors in New York and Atlanta. They attacked his family. They kicked him off the ballot in Colorado and Maine. Despite all that, President Trump never stopped fighting for you- Rep. Jim Jordan
Gabbard urged both Republicans and Democrats to unite in defense of the democratic process and voters’ right to choose their president. She criticized the Democratic elite, accusing them of being willing to go to extreme lengths, even undermining the right to vote, to retain their power.
The former Hawaii congresswoman highlighted what she considered to be hypocrisy among certain Democrats, referring to them as “war hawks,” who readily intervene in foreign countries facing situations similar to those experienced by Trump. She emphasized that some lawmakers advocating such interventions are the same individuals driving efforts against Trump.
TULSI GABBARD: “If you're a Democrat or Republican, now is the time that we as Americans must stand up for our democratic process in this country.”

Gabbard pointed out that the move to sideline Trump extends beyond the Democratic Party, with some Republicans feeling threatened by his departure from their established ways.
In a CNN interview, Maine’s top election official, Ms. Bellows, defended her decision, asserting that she followed Maine’s election law and upheld the U.S. Constitution. She claimed that the evidence she reviewed indicated Trump’s involvement in an insurrection under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. However, she stated that she would respect the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling and suspend the decision until the courts could act.

She expressed concerns about the surge in encounters with illegal border crossers, reaching the highest monthly record in 23 years.

Referring to FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony, Gabbard highlighted the increasing number of suspected terrorists attempting to cross the southern U.S. border, reaching record levels in the 2023 fiscal year. She underscored the seriousness of the threats and criticized the White House for being in denial about the direct national security risk.
Gabbard argued that the influx of migrants crossing the southern border poses a significant threat to national security, emphasizing that the government has little knowledge about the identities of these individuals. She contended that the issue goes beyond impoverished women and children seeking refuge and represents a tangible threat to the country’s safety.

To Sum It All Up: Tulsi Gabbard’s concerns reflect a broader debate about the democratic process, the right to vote, and national security. Her critique of both Democrats and Republicans sheds light on the complexities surrounding efforts to exclude Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot and the broader issues of border security and terrorism threats at the U.S. southern border.
