EXCLUSIVE: Tulsi Gabbard, on Trump’s VP Shortlist, Decries ‘Brazen’ Attacks on Constitutional Rights

The Epoch Times Header

The ex-Democrat and a second former presidential candidate, Larry Elder, spoke to a nonprofit organization at President Trump’s ‘Winter White House.’

MAR-A-LAGO, Fla.—Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat congresswoman who is now considered a possible Republican vice-presidential pick, is tackling a mission ahead of the November general election.

“I love our country, deeply. I don’t hold office; I’m not here to campaign or ask for votes. I’m here to ask you to join me in this fight for our freedom,” Ms. Gabbard told about 250 people who gathered at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club and Resort for a nonprofit group’s fundraiser.

The former Hawaii congresswoman and a second prior presidential hopeful, former Republican candidate Larry Elder, made remarks on March 7 at the 917 Society’s “Celebrating The Constitution” gala in the Grand Ballroom.

Mr. Elder and Ms. Gabbard spoke in Florida just before Democrat President Joe Biden gave his annual State of The Union speech, a constitutionally required report, to Congress in Washington. President Biden seized the opportunity to argue why voters should return him to office rather than vote for his presumed opponent, the Republican presumptive nominee: President Trump.

“Brazen” assaults on constitutional rights have escalated during the past few years, Ms. Gabbard said. While she did not specifically name President Biden, that span coincides with his term. He took office in 2021 under the cloud of a disputed election.

After President Trump vacated the White House, he was prosecuted for challenging the election results in Georgia, when all he wanted to do was “make sure every vote was counted,” Mr. Elder said.

Throughout President Trump’s four-year term of office, his 2016 Democrat opponent, Hillary Clinton, had continued to characterize him as an “illegitimate president.” Yet no one called her “an election denier,” Mr. Elder said, adding, “We assumed that they have a First Amendment right to complain.”

Yet there has been a double standard and a two-tiered system of justice, both of which allow liberals to skate while conservatives are targeted, Mr. Elder said.

President Trump also has been repeatedly banned from social media platforms.
