Tulsi Gabbard Instagram – “Right now we’re living in a time of chaos, cancel culture, wokeism, and censorship. Our fundamental constitutional rights and freedoms are under attack. Our freedom of speech, which used to be something that everyone could agree with, was not only good and important but something worth fighting for. Now you talk about freedom of speech and people automatically think you must be a right wing conservative. You use the word ‘patriot,’ you must be a right wing conservative. You say the words, ‘I love my country…’ and that makes you a right wing conservative. We’re living in a time of such insanity that our constitution is being threatened in many ways. I’m using whatever platforms I have available to be a voice, to continue to uphold my oath. That oath that we take as service members is the same oath I took as a member of Congress, and it’s one that I took to heart. It’s not something that goes away when you lay down the uniform. It’s not something that goes away in my heart. So I’m taking those stands and hopefully inspiring other people to similarly recognize that we will lose the country that we love if we don’t take a stand for our freedoms and for our democracy.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran) @tulsigabbard
