Gabbard warns Biden plan to root out domestic terrors could 'turn our country into a police state'

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."

Isn’t Gabbard a gun-grabber? Her complaints ring hollow.

[RC one]

And demoralize us. Don’t get sad, get mad.

[MercyFlush]

The USA has been a serious police state ever since the advent of the poorly named “Patriot Act”.

Obviously she doesn’t realize that the things she DOES WANT require a police state.

[MinorityRepublican]

Seems like she’s been red pilled, same thing happened to Elon Musk.

[dfwgator]

She’s too centrist for Hawaii now, she’s persona non grata there.

Patriots are reminded that the Constitution limits the feds to dealing with domestic violence only when a state government formally requests help.

"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence [emphasis added]."

In fact, Justice Joseph Story had clarified that a state’s formal request for help was meant to prevent federal government from using domestic violence within a state as an excuse to interfere with a state’s domestic affairs.

"§ 1819. It may not be amiss further to observe, (in the language of another commentator,) that every pretext for intermeddling with the domestic concerns of any state, under colour of protecting it against domestic violence, is taken away by that part of the provision, which renders an application from the legislature, or executive authority of the state endangered necessary to be made to the general government, before its interference can be at all proper. …” —Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 3:§§ 1808, 1819.

Well it was "W" who gave us the Department of Homeland Security.

I have to admit, to me that name has a Fascist ring to it ...

[FlingWingFlyer]

It already is a police state. Our “seventeen Soetoro intelligence communities” just spent FOUR YEARS trying to overthrow the Trump administration.

[Taxman]

Well done, America!

We will, no doubt, in the next few years, come to better understand what life was like in Nazi Europe 1940 - 1944!

Sloe Joe and The Hoe’s term of office will be the 21st Century version of Nazi Europe 1940 - 1944!

They have, allegedly, been in office for only one week, and look how much damage they have done to America and We the People!

We are in for some interesting times!

Because of a feckless, cowardly SCOTUS, a Traitorous media AND spineless Democrat and Republican LIEberal Inside the Evil Beltway Establishment Swamp Critters!

WE HAVE SEEN THE ENEMY!

IT AIN’T US!

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." Winston Churchill

Well Duh. That’s the plan Tulsi. AND YOU are part of the problem you dummy democrat.

[The Right Edge]

Considering everything... My days are numbered. I can only wonder how many days they think they have left. Funny, really!

[joma89]

Does she mean even more of a police state than it already is?

[nonsporting]

Gabbard wants to stay on Biddens good side.

Did you read the article?

She's not for a police state (pursuing Biden's commie policies). She's against them.

Tulsi, M'Lady... You almost have it figured out...

[Paul R.]

We are all trying to figure out how to fight these fascist bastards that Tulsi has correctly identified. Most of us by far do not want to do it via violence or a Civil War.

I submit that while it might not seem very much evident, or presently in our (freedom’s) favor, a good portion of the 16-24 y/o crowd is naturally rebellious. Quite a lot of old guard musicians (the ones left!) are NOT happy about the demise of live music due to lockdowns, etc. I imagine some younger ones fit in that group, too.

We on the other hand are not for the most part oriented that way. We have (or had) stable jobs / work, families, etc.

The youngsters (in spirit) might be the door. Could Tulsi become the key?

[Chode]

except for her stance on guns and abortion, she’d hook a lot more

[McGruff]

She's all over the place.

domestic enemies?
