Former Democrat Representative Tulsi Gabbard Celebrates Youngkin Victory

A 2020 Democrat primary challenger to Joe Biden is celebrating the victory of Republican Glen Youngkin as the new governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia as a win for everyone.

Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who has made a name for herself in standing against the establishment of her party of more than one occasion, said Youngkin’s victor in the state “benefits us all,” Breitbart News reported.

“McAuliffe’s loss is a victory for all Americans. Why? Because it was a resounding rejection of efforts to divide us by race, the stripping of parental rights, and arrogant, deaf leaders. This benefits us all,” she said on Twitter.

Republican Glenn Youngkin coasted to a resounding victory to become Virginia’s next governor on Tuesday night, stunning election experts everywhere when he earned 50.9 percent of the vote with an 80,000-vote lead over McAuliffe.

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) has been in a heated battle with the Democratic Party’s establishment ever since she ran for president in 2020 when her more moderate approach to various issues reaped a whirlwind of hatred from the party’s hardcore leftist base. A feud even erupted between Gabbard and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The former first lady said that Russia was grooming a female Democrat candidate for a third-party run during an appearance on the podcast Campaign HQ. Though Clinton did not mention Gabbard by name, the implication was clear.

“I think they have got their eye on someone who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate. She is the favorite of the Russians,” the fomer Secretary of State said. “They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far.”

“That’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she’s also a Russian asset. Yeah, she’s a Russian asset — I mean, totally,” she said. “They know they can’t win without a third-party candidate. So I don’t know who it’s going to be, but I will guarantee you they will have a vigorous third-party challenge in the key states that they most needed.”

Gabbard took to Twitter and actually, tongue in cheek, thanked her for her comments.

“Great! Thank you [Hillary Clinton],” she said. “You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain.”

“From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a concerted campaign to destroy my reputation. We wondered who was behind it and why,” she said. “Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose.”

In September Gabbard, when she spoke to Fox News host Jesse Waters, demanded that Biden apologize to Americans for controversial comments he made about Border Patrol agents.

Biden, and many others, have spread false claims that U.S. Border Patrol agents whipped illegal aliens on the Southern Border.

Below is a transcript of the exchange:

WATTERS: Joining me now is someone who’s been following the border disaster from day one, former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi, I’m just really disgusted with what the President said about those border agents on horseback. Everybody with a brain knows that there was no whipping of migrants going on. So, what do you think happens? Why is he saying that it did and threatening to punish the agents?

GABBARD: Jesse the issue here, and I consider Joe Biden a friend, but he’s absolutely wrong. And he needs to apologize to the American people for saying what he said. And here’s why, you know: He’s somebody who’s been very outspoken as being against autocrats, autocracies, dictators, but what he essentially did was act as judge, jury, and executioner for these Customs and Border Patrol agents on horseback. How can they expect to have any kind of fair outcome to an investigation when the President of the United States has already declared their guilt and that they will be punished? And the bigger issue here that this points to, which is one that we all need to be concerned about is that if we are no longer a country of laws if we are no longer a country where we know we will be presumed innocent unless proven guilty, then we don’t have a democracy. And that’s the increasing feeling that a lot of us have is that we are losing our democracy, and moving closer and closer to what essentially is an autocracy.

WATTERS: This is the same type of hoax that they use on police officers sometimes where they take something out of context, or they just hear something from one perspective, and they convict the person. And it creates a lot of animosity in this country. We saw this kind of hoax, again, with Russia, when the Clinton campaign plants fake news about Trump and Russia, that lasted years, that was a hoax. This type of disinformation is so dangerous to the country, I feel like they got away with it so many times. That’s part of their playbook. And they’re going to keep doing it over and over again until when? When are they ever going to stop?

GABBARD: The saddest part about this Jesse is you’re right; they are getting away with it and it’s the powerful elite, working with the media, working with the deep state, not acting in the best interest of the country. They’re acting in their own selfish interest to preserve their power, their position, or money, or whatever their selfish drive is. They are unwilling to sacrifice their interests for the interests of the country. And they have no business being in positions of leadership at any level in our society, because who suffers as a result of this? It’s the American people. It’s our democracy. And they don’t care about the cost. And the toll that that takes and this is why leadership that puts service above self, that puts the interests of the American people in our country first, is so critical and essential, especially now.
