Tulsi Gabbard announced her departure from the Democratic Party on Tuesday, calling the organization an “elitist cabal”.

Towards the end of the Twitter thread, Gabbard said that she was leaving the Democratic Party and that if people could no longer “stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.”

Born on April 12, 1981, Gabbard was part of the United States Army Reserve as an officer prior to her career as a politician.
