Tulsi Gabbard Endorses Donald J. Trump For President in Passionate Speech, Blasting Democrats for Weaponizing Government

Gabbard Warns of 'Anti-Freedom' Agenda, Calls Trump America's Last Line of Defense Against Tyranny

Former U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard has officially endorsed Donald Trump for president during an electric speech at the 2024 National Guard Association General Conference in Detroit.

Drawing from her military background as a former member of the Hawaii Army National Guard, Gabbard shared her experiences from her deployment to Iraq in 2005.

"I first deployed to Iraq in 2005 with the Hawaii Army National Guard as a member of Charlie Med. As those of you who were deployed during that time know, it was at the height of the war and sadly we took many casualties."

Gabbard continued, voicing her confidence in Trump's leadership;

"So I mean what I say when I share with you that I know that President Trump understands the grave responsibility that a president and Commander in Chief bears for every single one of our lives."

She then when on to list out President Trump's anti-war efforts seen from his first term in office.

"He not only didn't start any new wars, he took action to de-escalate and prevent wars. He exercised the courage that we expect from our Commander in Chief in exhausting all measures of diplomacy, having the courage to meet with adversaries, dictators, allies and partners alike in the pursuit of peace. Seeing war as a last resort."

Gabbard then contrasted Trump's approach to peace with the current administration's handling of international conflicts.

"The same cannot be said about Kamala Harris. In fact, the opposite is true and we're living through this reality today, as this administration has us facing multiple wars on multiple fronts in regions around the world and closer to the brink of nuclear war than we ever have been before."

In her endorsement of President Trump, Gabbard declared;

"This is one of the main reasons that I am committed to doing all that I can to send President Trump back to the White House, where he can once again serve us as our Commander in Chief. Because I am confident that his task will be to do the work to walk us back from the brink of war."  

Gabbard claimed that peace, freedom, and prosperity are unattainable in a nation ruled by a tyrannical government that uses its power to target political opponents.

"We can't live free as long as we have a government that is retaliating against its political opponents and undermining our civil liberties, weaponizing our very institutions against those they deem as a threat. Kamala Harris has done this over the last three and half years. She won't hesitate to continue that if she is elected president."

"President Trump has been their first and foremost target in this because they don't want us as voters to even have the option to vote for him."

This issue was particularly personal to Gabbard, who shared her own experience with what she described as politically weaponized persecution.

"I've been their most recent target. Added to a secret domestic terror watchlist, after exposing the truth about what kind of dangers we would face if Kamala Harris is elected as president."

Concluding her speech, Gabbard called on Americans to stand against the actions of the current administration, stressing the importance of freedom and the future of the nation.

"We as Americans must stand together to reject this anti-freedom culture of political retaliation and abuse of power. We can't allow our country to be destroyed by politicians who will put their own power ahead of the interests of the American people, our freedom and our future."
