Former Democratic presidential candidate and Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard on Tuesday called on President Biden and all members of Congress to "denounce" the new administration’s efforts to root out domestic terrorism, which she argues will take away Americans’ civil liberties and "turn our country into a police state."
"If you don’t stand up to them now, then our country will be in great peril," Gabbard said in a series of tweets. "Trying to undermine our constitutionally-protected rights and turn our country into a police state with KGB-style "surveillance" are also domestic enemies—and much more powerful, and therefore dangerous, than the mob which stormed the capitol. ..."
Gabbard spoke following the Biden administration saying Friday, two days after taking office, that it was launching a federal agency-wide effort to uncover domestic terrorism in the U.S.
The move follows the Jan. 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol Building led by those opposed to Congress on that day certifying the 2020 presidential election results that they believed was rife with enough voter fraud to "steal" the election from then-President Trump.
Gabbard, of Hawaii, in her tweets Tuesday and in interview Friday on "Fox News Primetime" also raised concerns about the comments of former CIA Director John Brennan on the scope and breadth of the administration’s effort.
Brennan said earlier on MSNBC: "I know looking forward that the members of the Biden team, who have been nominated or have been appointed, are now moving in laser-like fashion to try to uncover as much as they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we’ve seen overseas. Where they germinate in different parts of the country, and they gain strength, and it brings together an unholy alliance, frequently, of religious extremists, authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, nativists – even libertarians."

Gabbard wants to stay on Biddens good side.
Rand and Tulsi are liberty’s champion!!!
Its really cute the author thinks this “could” happen.
Call them out!
The real goal is to silence us.
Not gonna happen.
See you in the camps.
I really hope she runs for Hirono’s seat in 2024. Especially if Hirono - who will be like 78 years old by then - tries to hang onto it.
I wish Tulsi could either get elected to something, or become one of those traveling talking heads.
She is far from perfect, but she has a lot of common sense wisdom. I hope she finds a way to stay in the news cycle.
I’m not sure I entirely trust her but she’s on the right track. Government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. The fact that Nanzi and Schmuckie have to use the military and The FIB to enforce their will only serves to prove that they know full well they are governing against our consent.
I am glad she speaking out but she is still a democrat. The main thing I remember about her was that she blamed Trump for a Hawaii statewide ballistic missile false alarm in 2018.
A dem who believes in the constitution. Truly a rarity. I would never vote for her. But I hope she gets plenty of facetime.
Is she dumb?
The Democrat Party has made secret of its desire for a police state.
A moderate, old-school Democrat like Tulsi would be a most-welcome replacement to one of the leftist Senators that pervade the Senate.
Tossme Gabbard doesn’t know who the hell she is. When she went into Army she had to swear to protect against all enemies foreign or domestic. She chose instead to actually join the domestic enemy. She’s garbage.
That’s the plan.
How else are they going to round up or kill all the patriots*?
* patriots are now domestic terrorists, have been since the narrative setting play put on in Charlottesville by Terry McAwful.
I don’t agree with Gabbard on everything but at least she is honest and sincere and not an establishment crony. Unlike the corporate-owned CCP Trojan horse in the WH now.
She is right - this police state surveillance under the excuse of terrorism is a far bigger threat to our democracy than anything Trump ever did.
She’s a strange bird - sometimes right on the money (like here), and sometimes almost as much of a lunatic as AOC.
She’s a strange bird - sometimes right on the money (like here), and sometimes almost as much of a lunatic as AOC. You never know which one is going to show up.
Duh. Does she really think that isn’t their intention?
This girl is setting herself up for 2024. The problem is the rats would never have anyone this close to center.
I would feel more comfortable with her as prez as opposed to Harris. The best female pick is Noem.
All the way along, “good people” will be saying, if you’re not doing anything, you don’t have anything to worry about...
