Former Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (HI) offered a detailed explanation for her endorsement of former President Donald Trump’s 2024 White House bid earlier this week on Fox Business’s “Kudlow.”
DAVID ASMAN: since you and RFK are part of the Trump campaign, explain why did you go with Trump?
TULSI GABBARD: The choice in this election is very clear and the differences between President Trump and Vice President Harris couldn't be more stark. Frankly, to put it simply, the choice for the American people is a choice with Donald Trump, a man who values peace, prosperity, and freedom. He has a record that proves that. And Vice President Kamala Harris, whose record shows an increasingly tyrannical government undermining our freedoms. We are embroiled in multiple wars and the world is closer to the brink of nuclear war than ever before, with increasing economic hardship for Americans throughout the 3½ years she served as Vice President of the United States. The contrast couldn't be more clear.
This is personal for me, the endorsement of President Trump. As a soldier for over 21 years, I deployed to multiple war zones in different parts of the world, putting my life on the line for the safety, security, and freedom of the American people. It is important to me and every one of my brothers and sisters in uniform that we have a Commander-in-Chief who values every one of our lives, who carries that responsibility as Commander-in-Chief very seriously, and who will exhaust all diplomatic avenues before seeing war truly as a last resort.
The last point that I will make on this—another point of contrast—is that President Trump showed through his last administration that not only did he not start any new wars, but he took action to prevent them by courageously meeting with adversaries, allies, partners, dictators. He would meet with whoever he needed to pursue peace. Kamala Harris criticized Donald Trump for doing exactly that. That shows if she is elected President, she will not do what is necessary in the pursuit of peace, and I’m certain she will lead us very quickly into a war to mask the weakness and insecurity that she feels and try to project strength using the lives of my brothers and sisters in uniform to do so.
I like a free Republic. Have always hated Communism in any form.
Tulsi was never a true libtard, but I wonder if the Maui fires 🔥 brought her to the Patriot side.
She works in a Psy Ops unit. She is part of this, just like DeSantis with his JAG experience. I always watch for those with relevant military experience…

Focus on the facts since the crimes of obama. Trump Was a lifelong Democrat and (Trump) was the Meaning of capitalism and the BOOMING Working economy. He Ran as a Republican to defeat the liberal/communist clinton (obama) that had destroyed the working class Dem. party. The 'Republican' party members that do Not support Trump are the Same uni-party as the obama liberal/communists. This is not confusing because We now have two parties again. The Trump/MAGA/ American People's party and the soros/obama/harris liberal/communist party.
I knew Ms Tulsi had morals when she resigned her position on the Democratic Party! She saw the obvious steal in Nevada against Bernie and stood her ground! Bernie is a socialist vs Hillary, a demon! Free elections means something even if it's just the lesser of two evils! Her endorsing Trump will bring along a faction of voters that felt disenfranchised! Any new voters that follow her is a plus! Peace is the prize!
Yes! She had the integrity to do the right thing when Bernie was cheated. Sadly Bernie didn't have the same level of integrity. Socialist or not, he should have still stood up for what was right. I was 1st made clear of the barrage of Clinton's corruption through him
I remember hating on her for so long. My bad, Tulsi.
She'd be an amazing 2028 ticket as long as she turns out to not be RINO.
Tulsi nails it again. I'm also anti-war, that's why I like Trump. Same position, different party.
Great interview and post Narg!
Communism in a minute: Karl Marx makes the assumption on page 2 of "the Capital" that if an apple costs a dollar and also a pear costs a dollar, that this is equal. So for him exist only cardinal numbers not ordinal numbers. But in real live, if I give you an apple for a dollar, I value the dollar more than the apple and vice versa. If not so, why would I go into exchange first hand? If the fault is at the beginning, it might be small, but the whole building falls down eventually.
Then there's the time when she went after Kamalala in the debate and so when Kamalala became VP she put Tulsi on the fly watch list...
Will be a lifetime of rebuilding that trust. But I'll take it.
Was working in the military in Kuwait and Iraq done for the safety of the American people, or working for the fortunes of the global elitists?____ I think she is genuine but it would nice if in the near future that she could say that she was serving the globalist elitists, and not the American people.
Smedley Butler, the most decorated US Marine in history and the author of War is a Racket, said that he and his troops were used as thugs for American corporate interests in Central America (from memory and so probably paraphrasing). I'll be surprised if Tulsi isn't willing to make a similar admission at some point in the next few months.

that is an important historical lesson and example, I hope too that Tulsi follows this example! Thanks for sharing this General in the Marines story from American history.
