Kinda figured this was coming given her uptick in visibility on Fox in the past year and the actually sane dialog that was coming out. (and she still handles a board pretty well)
--------------------
‘Jesse Watters Primetime.’

Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard announced she left the Democratic Party on Tuesday, denouncing the organization as an "elitist cabal."

Gabbard, who retired from the House of Representatives in 2021, attacked the institution in a nearly 30-minute video posted to her YouTube account. She did not announce plans to join the Republican Party or adopt any other political affiliation, however.

"I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism," Gabbard said in an excerpt posted to Twitter.

Good for her!

Does she still believe black rifles are evil and should be banned?

Pfft...

Tulsi Gabbard is an Army veteran that served as an Officer in the MP branch - of COURSE she knows how to handle firearms. That doesn't really impact the facts that liberals own guns too.
Hell, Rachael Madcow owns and shoots and brags about how she owns and shoots - you got it - an AR15 – and Rachael Madcow is a super liberal.
Being a liberal in 2022 doesn’t mean that people can’t have guns, it just means that “YOU” cant have guns…
…its part of that “common sense gun legislation” they are always pushing.

My bottom line is simple on this one:
-Tulsi Gabbard has a documented record as an anti-gunner.
-Tulsi Gabbard has a documented record that supports and advances liberal agendas.
-Tulsi Gabbard has a documented record that shows her foreign policy is all over the map. She’s a hawk – she’s a peacenik - she’s a hawk – rinse and repeat.

When Tulsi Gabbard is once again elected to a public office and begins consistently voting “yes” on pro-gun legislation and other conservative leaning legislative matters, while recanting 10 years worth of nonsense about high capacity magazines, assault weapons, extended background checks, and lies about the mythical "gun show loophole" – maybe,
…MAYBE, I’ll reconsider my opinion of her.

Until then, she’s just another out of work politician pretending that her current party identity impacts the direction our great nation is going.
...and using her time on Fox news to stump for her new podcast

I remember way back in the good old days when conservatives had a love affair with a ‘gun toting liberal’ named Joe Manchin – right up until he reminded everyone why he was a liberal – by voting “YES” on the MASSIVE buttfucking of America - right after fooling people into thinking he was a good old fashioned conservative democrat.
…right up until that point when he helped Chuckie Shoomer and Lesko Brandon push legislation that will make the IRS almost as big as the USMC - along with lord only knows what other hidden tidbits that we haven’t seen yet that are actively CRUSHING the US economy.

But you folks in West Virginny mark this down on your calendars - when Joe Manchin is ready for his next election cycle, the West Virginny voters will see him in a campaign ad wearing his duck waders or toting a deer rifle talking about the good old days.
...and a lot of voters from West Virginny will follow him right into the ballot box.

Hooray for Tulsi Gabbard bashing the democrats.
Hooray for Tulsi Gabbard ‘leaving the democratic party’
For that matter, Hooray for Bernie Sanders ‘leaving the democratic party’ – every single time he fails to win their nomination

I’ve said it before – it says something about the state of our nation when a Joe Manchin or Tulsi Gabbard have main stream Americans fooled into thinking that they are “almost republicans” because they stir up a little partisan controversy over their "right wing rhetoric"
I’d even risk the declaration that most of our prominent RINOs are closer to being democrats than Joe Manchin and Tulsi Gabbard are to actually being conservative republicans.

Sorry – if Tulsi Gabbard leaving the democratic party is “the current thing” then I will have to respectfully decline from getting emotional about it.
I'm always happy to see a public figure thumb their nose at the establishment, but Tulsi Gabbard is still just a liberal in my eyes until she finds a way to produce tangible proof that she has changed her stripes.

She's been on Tucker Carlson a lot and, with this, she's apparently on tonight. I would've expected he'd get first pick of the post "epiphany" interviews. Curious to see if he asks her anything meaningful.

I fear that a substantial portion of the Left will espouse RINOhood in an effort to distance themselves from Joe for the next two(2) elections.

Watch the Democrat to Independent's numbers grow in a transient effort to mitigate Joe's failures, but after he is gone, march back to the Left.

Of course...which ever way the wind is blowing, typical politician...self preservation...whatever it takes...values be damned...Many have already been living that dual-existence. One thing in conversation with people who live in more rural locales; the other when leaving their bedroom community town and going into the metro-cesspool to swim with those fish for their $$$$ white-collar job. Ask someone who professes "Oh, I'm an Independent" and ask them the last R candidate they voted for. You can look in their eyes and see that 1) they're Dems and 2) they know the charade, and know that you've spotted it, but hope you just move on.
