Someone call the Chernobyl cleaners because liberal Twitter is having a meltdown.
They’re irate that this former Democrat Congresswoman would dare challenge their woke ideology.
And they’re doubling down on their accusations that she is secretly a Russian agent.
Tulsi Gabbard endorses against “woke” Democrats in Arizona, Michigan, and beyond
Fresh off her leaving the Democrat Party, Tulsi Gabbard endorsed Trump-backed Republican candidate for Arizona Governor Kari Lake earlier this month.
Then she endorsed Republican Joe Kent in a Southwestern Washington State Congressional race and Republican Don Bolduc for U.S. Senate up in New Hampshire against Democrat incumbent Maggie Hassan.
And most recently, in a utter shock to the political establishment, Tulsi endorsed Republican Tudor Dixon in her run against Democrat incumbent Gretchen Whitmer in the Michigan Gubernatorial election.
In her announcement making her departure official from the Democrat Party, Tulsi blasted the party, saying “I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness . . .”
You’d struggle to find a stronger repudiation of the wokeness-infested Democrat Party by someone with the credentials to do it.
Tulsi a liberal of liberals, what changed?
Tulsi’s crusade against the woke Democrat Party has been a surprise to political observers who note that she was never considered a moderate Democrat by any measure.
She previously endorsed self-proclaimed socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders in his Presidential bid and even eventually endorsed Joe Biden in his run against Donald Trump in 2020.
Sure, she’s voted against a few bills supported by her Democrat colleagues in Congress, but there was no telling that she was on the path to becoming a rebel in their midst, except perhaps on foreign policy.
But her rift with the Democrat Party really seemed to appear over woke ideology when she introduced the “Protect Women’s Sports Act” with Republican Congressman Markwayne Mullin in December 2020.
And since then her criticism over gender ideology and the targeting of children with sexually explicit material in our schools has become louder and louder.
And it has seemingly become her soapbox issue to blast Democrats coast-to-coast, willingly setting aside policy differences with Republicans on such as issues as abortion.
Will her endorsement of Republicans even matter?
Leftists on social media were quick to dismiss Tulsi’s endorsement of Republicans like Kari Lake and Tudor Dixon.
After all, who cares what a former Democrat Congresswoman and Presidential candidate from Hawaii has to say?
But what her endorsement signals, and this is what terrifies leftists, is that it gives moderate Democrats and even liberal-leaning Independents who are uncomfortable with the wokeness of the Democrat Party cover to vote for a Republican.
Look, the overwhelming majority of students are in government schools, both the children of Republicans and Democrats
It is undeniable that the rate at which gender ideology and sexually explicit material has flooded into our schools is beyond that which most parents are comfortable.
Even for outright liberals it is unsettling that children as young at five-years-old have access to what can be described as nothing less than pornography.
And constituencies that typically lean toward Democrats on a myriad of other policies are outright appalled by what is happening in the government school system.
Look no further than the outrage of the Muslim community in Dearborn, Michigan to get a sense for the cracks that are forming in the Democrat coalition over this gender insanity.
Will Tulsi Gabbard’s endorsement of a bunch of Republicans make a difference on Election Day?
Who knows?
But it might.
And we’ll see soon enough.
