The Spin

Gabbard joining the GOP makes sense given what her old party has become. Gabbard supports real Americans, while Harris supports a small group of elites. Most importantly, Gabbard supports peace while Harris — as Cheney's endorsement proves — wants to continue starting endless wars. Republicans will take Gabbard's America First mentality over Cheney any day.

Gabbard is joining Team Trump for one reason: her disdain for America's role in defending democracy. She's defended the actions of dictators for over a decade now — including Russia's Vladimir Putin — and hopes to use a potential second Trump term to promote her beliefs even further. TheGabbard's GOPbad-faith hasrhetoric givenis upan onominous protectingsign of the worldstate fromof evil,the andmodern Gabbard fits right inGOP.
