Ex-Democrat Tulsi Gabbard Accuses Biden of Sharing Hitler’s ‘Mindset’

Tulsi Gabbard, the former Democratic representative from Hawaii and 2020 presidential candidate, compared President Biden to Hitler while stumping in New Hampshire for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Don Bolduc.

Speaking at a Bolduc rally outside of Manchester on Sunday, Gabbard accused Biden of relying on an ends-justify-the-means mindset to excuse his alleged persecution of Trump supporters.

“Even Hitler thought he was doing what was best for Germany, right? For the German race. In his own mind, he found a way to justify the means to meet his end. So when we have people with that mindset, well, you know we’ve got to do whatever it takes because, as President Biden said in that speech in Philadelphia, that those who supported Trump, those who didn’t vote for him are extremists and a threat to our democracy,” Gabbard said in an audio recording obtained by the Daily Beast.

The comments comes just a week after Gabbard made headlines by publicly renouncing her Democratic Party membership. “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 and stoke anti-white racism. Who actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms that are enshrined in our constitution,” Gabbard said in a Twitter video post.

Bolduc, a retired Army brigadier general, echoed President Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was plagued by voter fraud during the primary only to backtrack and acknowledge the legitimacy of Biden’s victory once his general election campaign began.

Last week Joe Rogan hosted the former representative on his popular podcast to discuss her announcement. One of the major factors driving Gabbard to abandon her Democratic allegiances was the censorship she felt amongst former friends who excommunicated her following Fox News appearances, a treatment she said she experienced “over and over.”

“It ranges from people kind of like giving you a cynical look, like ‘whose side are you really on.’ To people just outright ending that friendship or that professional relationship cause they don’t want to have anything to do with you,” Gabbard told Rogan.

Gabbard ran as an outside candidate in the 2019 Democratic presidential campaign, leveraging her military experience as an Iraq War veteran. Since then, Gabbard has progressively fallen out of the liberal orbit and was accused by Hilary Clinton of being a “Russian asset.”

Earlier this year, she attended CPAC and condemned the FBI raid on Trump’s Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago, on Tucker Carlson Tonight, saying it “changed the country that we grew up in.”
