Former Democratic Rep. and Dem presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard endorsed President Trump yesterday afternoon at a National Guard Association event in Detroit. She landed a knockout punch (from the left) on Kamala Harris’s candidacy in the run-up to the 2020 presidential campaign. She seems to me to understand the art of rhetoric.
Trump introduced her about 10 minutes into his speech. Full video is posted here. I have posted the video clip of Gabbard’s endorsement from her own YouTube channel below. As I write this morning, the endorsement clip has 830,00 views. RealClearPolitics has posted a transcript here.
This is a serious and powerful statement that I disagree with in only one trivial respect. Toward the end of her statement she asserts: “President Trump has been [the Democrats’] first and foremost target because they don’t want us, as voters, to even have the option to vote for him.” I think has been their target because they want him as their opponent and because (as Gabbard understands from her own experience) they mean to use their lawfare to stigmatize and crush him.
