‘Rogue Democrat’ Plans To Headline CPAC – Premiere Conservative Convention Will Host Speech By Tulsi Gabbard
What’s Happening:
CPAC 2022 is coming up, and they’re looking to shake up conservatives with some fresh faces.
Including some faces you would never expect. Even a prominent Democrat will be there.
But she’s one of those bulldogs that has taken on Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. And she will make quite a splash this year at CPAC. From Daily Caller:
Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat from Hawaii who ran for president in 2020 and has been critical of President Joe Biden, will headline a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), according to the event’s website…
Gabbard has sharply criticized “elite” members of the Democratic and Republican parties since leaving Congress just over a year ago, pushing back on rhetoric that she says is divisive and against policies embraced by the Biden administration’s Department of Justice.
Tulsi Gabbard, who leans particularly to the left, shares some views similar to Bernie Sanders and AOC. But, for some reason, the leftist establishment rejected Gabbard. Even Hillary Clinton went after her, calling her a Russian puppet.
Since then, it seems Gabbard has been a vocal critic of the failed presidency of Joe Biden. She has defended conservatives and called out “cancel culture.” It seems her free-thinking approach to politics has won her some fans on the right. Because she is slated to speak at one of the biggest conservative events of the year.
At CPAC, Gabbard will be speaking alongside the likes of Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz, and more. While this seems like a radical choice for such a far-right event, this isn’t as outlandish as you might think.
Once upon a time, American politicians actually tried to work together. Despite being members of opposing parties, there was much more cooperation and diversity of thought among our leaders. It wouldn’t have been a shock to see a Democrat at a conservative event if they shared similar views on crucial issues.
It seems the organizers of CPAC wanted to offer an olive branch of sorts to Gabbard. The woman, while still apparently liberal, shares views on many issues conservatives are concerned about. She is an outspoken critic of Joe Biden and the Democratic establishment. And she is not a fan of the D.C. swamp—which is made up of both Republicans and Democrats.
We can’t predict how her speech will go over at CPAC. But we do know that, unlike many liberals, conservatives are willing to give people a chance, despite their politics. Gabbard just might be met with a warm reception.
Key Takeaways:
- Democrat Tulsi Gabbard will be speaking at this year’s CPAC.
- The former congresswoman has been sharply critical of Joe Biden.
- Other speaks at the event include Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.
