Tulsi Gabbard has slammed tech industry leaders and Democrats like Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and former CIA director John Brennan calling them âdomestic enemiesâ of the US and more dangerous than the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol building.
While condemning the âmobâ who stormed the Capitol, the former Democrat presidential candidate also claimed that people like Adam Schiff and John Brennan are more dangerous over they way they are trying to erase American freedoms.
In a Tweet on Tuesday Gabbard urged Joe Biden to oppose the push for a âpolice stateâ :Â âPresident Biden, I call upon you and all of Congress from both parties to denounce efforts by Brennan and others to take away our civil liberties endowed to us by our creator and guaranteed in our Constitution. If you donât stand up to them now, then our country will be in great peril.â
The mob who stormed the capitol to try to stop Congress from carrying out its constitutional responsibilities were behaving like domestic enemies of our country. But let us be clear, the John Brennan's, Adam Schiffs and the oligarchs in Big Tech who are… pic.twitter.com/Q3VssCiz5l

RTÂ reports: The ex-congresswoman and Iraq War veteran sounded the alarm as the likes of Brennan, US Representative Adam Schiff (D-California) and social media controllers push for a September 11-like crackdown on domestic terrorism on the pretext that supporters of former President Donald Trump have created a national security crisis.
The election-fraud protesters who breached the Capitol behaved like âdomestic enemies of our country,â Gabbard said. But she added, âThe John Brennans, Adam Schiffs and the oligarchs in Big Tech who are trying to undermine our constitutionally protected rights and turn our country into a police state with KGB-style surveillance are also domestic enemies â and much more powerful, and therefore dangerous, than the mob which stormed the Capitol.â
The Hawaii nativeâs comments mark just the latest instance when Gabbard has spoken contrary to party doctrine. She voted against the first impeachment of Trump, introduced a bill to ban transgender girls from competing in womenâs sports, opposed regime-change wars and co-sponsored a bill to fight election fraud. Gabbard also embarrassed party favorite Kamala Harris, now vice president, in a primary debate in 2019, prompting Hillary Clinton to call her a Russian asset.
In recent days, Gabbard criticized the Biden administration in recent Fox News interviews for keeping thousands of National Guard troops in Washington, DC, and peddling the perception that the nationâs capital is under siege. She said Democrats have been advocating targeting essentially âhalf the countryâ as domestic terrorists.
Those daring moves have won Gabbard a following among conservatives. Her defense of constitutional rights only added to her cross-party fan base.
âGo Tulsi,â blogger Liz Rios said. âJust want to thank you for calling out threats when you see them, regardless of political party. Itâs about freedom and liberty.â

Publisher Felix Jarikre praised Gabbard for speaking objectively and said denouncing Brennan and Schiff for condemning Trump supporters as potential terrorists âwould go a long way to heal the divisions in America.â
.@joebiden Your leadership is needed now to denounce those like John Brennan & Rep Schiff who are advocating for targeting half the country as potential domestic terrorists. Truly unite the American people around our Constitution & the rights that are endowed to us by our Creator pic.twitter.com/OpemBm4biS

Gabbard cited an MSNBC interview in which Brennan said members of Joe Bidenâs team are âmoving in laser-like fashionâ to identify domestic terrorists. Targets of the crackdown look âvery similar to insurgency movements that weâve seen overseas, where they germinate in different parts of the country, and they gain strength,â Brennan said. âIt brings together an unholy alliance frequently of religious extremists, authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, nativist â even libertarians.â
Music producer Andrew Balogh said the looming domestic-terrorism crackdown represents âa slippery slope and threatens American democracy.â He told Gabbard, âI am hopeful that there are others who have the foresight that you do regarding this.â
