‘Establishment Elite … Will Target You, Censor You, Demonize You And Call You A Domestic Terrorist,’ Says Tulsi Gabbard

Former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said Friday during “Fox News Primetime” that both Democratic and Republican lawmakers are in danger of being destroyed by the “establishment elite” if they stand on principles.

“This is a bigger problem than Democrats or Republicans,” Gabbard told host Will Cain. “This is about the establishment elite trying to hold on to their power and continue to increase it. And the mainstream media is a powerful arm of that establishment elite,” she continued, noting that politicians are either “with them, agreeing with them, supporting them, carrying the water for them.”

Gabbard argued that the alternative is for the elite to turn on their detractors and then “target you, censor you, demonize you, and call you a domestic terrorist and stick the attorney general on you. Seeing you as a threat to their power and, therefore, the enemy.”

The former congresswoman said America is “facing some incredibly serious challenges” that require “competent and caring leaders who put the interest of the people and our country above all else. But that’s not what we have.”

Cain reminded Gabbard that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had called the congresswoman “a favorite of the Russians” because she was often seen as a maverick candidate in the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination race.

Gabbard also confessed that she had not watched much of Wednesday night’s CNN town hall with President Joe Biden, however, what she had seen provided no evidence of the competent, caring leadership that made “any serious attempt to address the needs of the American people.” She said what is clear is that “our leaders don’t respect us, they don’t trust us.”

She just can’t quite say these people are all pinko leftists. So close, but, nope.

[BenLurkin]

Tulsi, did you support PDJT in his battle against these ‘elites’?

Because if not, then you really don’t have a lot to complain about.

I think the elite’s strategy is to be so outrageous, so unfair, so dishonest, so irrational, so tyrannical as to lead even normal, mild-mannered people into a state of fear and rage, so as to provoke the “white supremacist” reaction they have been talking about. Then they will say, “See? We warned you.”

[Qui is]

True, but aside from a few others in Congress like Rand Paul, nobody else is speaking out. If you or I had said what Tulsi did, we would be ridiculed and called tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists. At least she had the balls to speak out.

[Kevmo]

Assuming Biden doesn’t make it to run for 2024, if Tulsi primaried Kameltoe I think she would wipe the floor with her.

[El Cid]

She said what is clear is that “our leaders don’t respect us, they don’t trust us.”

And the feeling is mutual.

[EasySt]

She is Bernie Lite.

Don’t be fooled.

The Dems can have her, as she might be a little better than some of them,
but she is certainly still set on taking us all down the long hard socialist
road to Communism.

We have lots of “Republicans” in name only already, that are just like her.
I’ll admit that it’s possible to like her more than some of [Them]…
but she’s still working for the enemy.

[dragnet2]

I’ve read all 4 volumes of the techniques of harassment. These misfits don’t seem to understand, this is a two way street.

[TigersEye]

And yet, as a Democrat, you are still part of the Establishment Elite, Tulsi.

[capydick]

Tulsi Gabbard meet Donald Trump / Donald Trump, meet Tulsi Gabbard.....

‘Establishment Elite (AKA her party) …BLAH,BLAH,BLAH Says Tulsi Gabbard

Same kind of hypocrite, holier than thou bile they spew at Fox News about what "the mainstream media" is. As if they're so much better/not a part of it.

[ChuckHam]

Bernie Sis speaks out. Pardon me if I don’t listen to her.

[stars & stripes forever]

Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers are in danger of being destroyed by the “establishment elite” if they stand on principles.

TULSI'S principles line up with BERNIE SANDERS.

"Gabbard argued that the alternative is for the elite to turn on their detractors and then “target you, censor you, demonize you, and call you a domestic terrorist and stick the attorney general on you. Seeing you as a threat to their power and, therefore, the enemy.” "

That is correct, but the reason that she has experienced this is not because she had overall espoused conservative values, but because she was not liberal and "woke" enough. She is likely on her way to becoming a Republican, but strong male conservative leadership is to be preferred.

[NWFree]

So she doesn’t even hold office any more I see.

[joma89]

Do not forget, Tulsi is an ultra liberal and does not say these things to help us. She is a trojan horse who will betray us if we helped he get into a position of power.
