Posting on X after former President Donald Trump was convicted by a jury of 12 Manhattan jurors for the 34 falsification of business records charges brought against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard sounded off on what she alleged was an “abuse of power” by President Joe Biden.
Ms. Gabbard pointed to what she saw as the left’s weaponization of the justice system against Trump and abuse of that power, arguing that bringing charges against one’s opponents is a signal of a banana republic rather than a real republic of the sort that America used to be. Though the charges were brought at the state level by a DA, not the DOJ, Gabbard and others have argued that Biden was involved.
She said, “Biden: GUILTY of abuse of power. Biden: GUILTY of turning our country into a banana republic where those in power use the law to go after their political opponents. Biden: GUILTY of undermining our Constitution and the freedoms guaranteed therein. Biden has proven he is unfit for the office of the presidency.”
Replying, a commenter on her post argued that the trial looked like a “Stalinesque show trial,” saying, “Americans should feel embarrassed that we’ve sunk to the level of Stalinesque show trials. I wonder what ordinary folks in China or India think about all this. How much credibility has our political system lost in their eyes because of these witless partisan shenanigans?”
Another commenter on Tulsi Gabbard’s post, also bringing up Stalin and attacking the credibility of the conviction, said, “May 30, 2024 The day Democrats weaponized the Federal Govt with the help of a Democrat State to politically prosecute an American President. Soviet Show Trials have reached American soil. Never Forget!”
Gabbard, in a recent interview, discussed her goals for 2024, including helping people consider voting for Trump and putting America first. She said, “For me to be in a position now where I can reach out to and connect with folks who may not have ever considered voting for a Republican or voting for Donald Trump before, there’s an opportunity here to remind people of our responsibility as citizens to put our country first.”
Continuing, and getting into why she felt the need to leave behind the Democratic Party, she also spoke about Democrats ditching God and trying to be Him, saying, “They themselves are removing these guardrails in our society that the truth then becomes whatever they deem it to be, putting themselves in that position of trying to be god.”
Watch her speak about that here:
Gabbard has also called out the Democrat attempts to take down Trump with lawfare. She said, “This is the M.O. of the Democrat elite. They will stop at nothing to try to maintain their power, even if it means taking away the right to vote of Americans. So they have no issue taking Trump off the ballot. They have no issue pursuing him and persecuting him through a weaponized and politicized Department of Justice.”
She added, “They have no qualms about doing whatever they feel is necessary to hold onto power. It’s ridiculous that we are having this conversation here in the United States of America. … We’ve seen how the war hawks in Washington, they will see this happen in another country and they’ll be very quick to say we must go and intervene. We must go and topple this banana republic or this dictatorship. Many of these very same people are the people who are driving this. And it’s not just Democrats. They’re Republicans who are threatened by President Trump’s unwillingness to buy into their establishment ways.
