Why did Tulsi Gabbard leave the Democratic Party? Myriad reasons, but, according to a recent interview, one of the main factors driving her career-upending decision was that the modern Democratic Party attacks God and faith with such hatred and vitriol.
She said as much when speaking to Fox News Channel’s Kayleigh McEnany, with McEnany tearing into the way the left has latched onto the idea of the separation of church and state to push a “religion of secularism” on America. Watch them here:
I spoke w/ @TulsiGabbard on @IngrahamAngle about the erosion of America's spiritual foundation

As you can hear in the clip, McEnany said, “It’s ironic to me that God, someone you can trust, is being run out of society. [And] we know he was an integral part of our founding, mentioned in many of our founding documents.” McEnany then added that the separation of church and state is “found nowhere in our founding documents,” and has “been utilized to create a religion of secularism.”
McEnany then asked Gabbard if she thought that “erasing, broadly, God out of society in a way perhaps our founders never intended” was damaging society. Gabbard, in response, said, “there’s no question about it.” She then went on to say that the Democrats are trying to erase God, saying “This erosion of this spiritual foundation of our country is a direct consequence of those who are trying to erase God from just about every facet of our public lives.”
Adding to that, she named the Democratic Party’s hatred of God as one of the main reasons she left it, telling McEnany “This is one of the main reasons why I chose to leave the Democratic Party: because I saw increasingly how not only were they trying to erase any mention of God, [but were] attacking people of faith, attacking people of spirituality, especially Christians.”
She then argued that the left’s attacks on religion have led much of the country in a direction that is causing damage “to families, to children, to our communities, [and] to our policymakers — many of whom think that they are God and are trying to control us in every possible way.”
Tulsi, at the time she left the Democratic Party, said that she was leaving it because it is an “elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness” and because of its hostility to faith. In her words:
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 & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are…
…hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.
I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite. I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me….
…in leaving the Democratic Party. If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.
