Tulsi Gabbard speaks out after leaving 'woke' Democratic Party: My 'loyalty' is to the country, not the caucus
Fox News
Former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard departed the Democratic Party this week, calling it a home for wokeness that is run by an elitist cabal.
"And so when you look at this party, the today's Democratic Party, it's controlled by fanatical ideologues who hate freedom. They despise the Constitution. They actively find ways to undermine our God given rights enshrined in the Constitution, like freedom of speech, if you say something and I say something that they don't like." Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
In a nearly 30-minute video posted to her YouTube account Tuesday, Gabbard, a former presidential candidate, announced she was leaving the Democratic Party. TYhe U.S. Army Reserve National Guard officer accused the Democratic Party of "racializing" every issue while stoking anti-White racism and derogatory sentiment. Charles covers media, politics and breaking news, and has covered the annual CPAC conference for Fox News Digital.
