Gabbard says what everyone knows [View all]

Source: Politico

At Donald Trump’s rally tonight in North Carolina, Tulsi Gabbard just walked out on stage and announced that she is “joining the Republican Party.”

Gabbard’s announcement came two years after she decided to leave the Democratic Party in 2022 and become an independent. In the time since, Gabbard has campaigned extensively for Republican candidates, and she endorsed Trump in August.

“Those of you here or those watching at home who are independent-minded people like myself, who love our country and are committed to the Constitution and to freedom, the Democrat Party is no home for people like us,” Gabbard said.

She was previously a Democratic member of Congress and a Democratic presidential candidate in the 2020 election.

It was obvious she was heading that way by 2020. Good riddance.
