Democrats ‘will stop at nothing’ to stay in power, and would like to remove Trump from ticket entirely: Tulsi Gabbard

Former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard said on “Hannity” that she has “no doubt” that Democrats would like to remove former President Trump from the ticket entirely.

Gabbard said Democratic and Republican “war hawks” are quick to argue that the United States should intervene when other countries take similar actions against political candidates.

TULSI GABBARD: This is the modus operandi of the Democratic elite. They will stop at nothing to try to maintain their power, even if it means taking away Americans’ right to vote. So they have no problem getting Trump off the ballot. They have no problem pursuing him and persecuting him through an armed and politicized Department of Justice. They have no qualms about doing what they consider necessary to retain power. It is ridiculous that we are having this conversation here in the United States of America. …We’ve seen how the war hawks in Washington will see this happening in another country and quickly say we need to go and intervene. We must go and take down this banana republic or this dictatorship. Many of these same people are the ones driving this. And it’s not just Democrats. They are Republicans who are threatened by President Trump’s unwillingness to accept the ways of the establishment.

Gabbard’s comments came after Maine’s Democratic secretary of state disqualified former President Trump from the state’s presidential primary.

In her ruling, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows cited Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits those who “engage in insurrection” from holding public office.

Bellows made the decision after some state residents, including a bipartisan group of former lawmakers, questioned Trump’s position on the ballot.
