The Republican Party may have lost a morally bankrupt former Representative in Liz Cheney, but they just gained a red-pilled Tulsi Gabbard in exchange. The GOP even tossed in benchwarmer Adam Kinzinger in the exchange.
And it’s still the most lopsided trade since Herschel Walker went to the Vikings in exchange for 12 players and eventually three Super Bowls for the Dallas Cowboys.
Gabbard, a one-time Democrat candidate for President and former congresswoman from Hawaii, has been flirting with conservative ideology for some time now. More so, she’s viewed her party as the gender-confused conglomeration of woke Marxists they’ve become.
Now, she’s crossing over.
She made the transformation official in an announcement at a rally for former President Donald Trump in North Carolina Tuesday. And the crowd ate it up.
Tulsi Gabbard Announces She’s Switching To Republican Party
Trump offered Tulsi Gabbard a few moments to speak at his rally where she wowed the Republican and conservative crowd.
“To those of you here or those watching at home who are independent-minded people like myself, who love our country and are committed to the Constitution and to freedom, the Democratic Party has no home for people like us,” Gabbard said.
“But we do have a home in the Republican Party where we are welcomed with open arms by President Trump.”
That’s when she delivered the shocker.
“I’m proud to stand here with you today, President Trump, and announce that I’m joining the Republican Party,” Gabbard added.

How Far She Has Come
For his part, President Trump indicated that Tulsi Gabbard’s announcement that she is joining the Republican Party came as a surprise.
“That was really … she’s been independent for a long time,” Trump said. “It’s a great thing, a great honor.”
The face of the GOP indicated he “didn’t know” Gabbard was going to join his party.
“That was a surprise,” he said.
It was just two years ago that Gabbard announced she was leaving the Democrats. On the way out the door, she blasted her colleagues as being controlled by “warmongers” who stoke anti-white racism and are possessed by “cowardly wokeness.”
Cheney and Kinzinger fit right in. Cheney, the warmonger. Adam, the coward.
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… pic.twitter.com/oAuTnxZldf

In her announcement, Gabbard accused her former party of demonizing law enforcement while “protect(ing) criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans,” and said Democrats “believe in open borders” and are willing to “weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents.”
She ain’t wrong.
Some Republicans will view the move by Tulsi Gabbard with a suspicious eye. To be sure, she still holds some objectionable views on the Second Amendment.
But her inclusion in the effort to save our country is part of the ‘big tent’ strategy that Democrats so desperately pretend they employ when, in reality, it’s the Republican Party standing there with arms wide open.
One thing is for certain: we live in interesting times.
