Former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard said on “Hannity” she has “no doubt” that Democrats want to remove former President Trump from the ballot altogether.
Gabbard said Democrats and Republican “war hawks” are quick to argue the US should intervene when other countries take similar actions against political candidates.
TULSI GABBARD: This is the MO of the Democratic elite. They will stop at nothing to try to maintain their power, even if it means taking away the voting rights of the American people. So they have no issue getting Trump off the ballot. They have no issue going after him and persecuting him through a weaponized and politicized Department of Justice. They do not hesitate to do whatever they feel is necessary to hold power. It’s ridiculous that we’re having this conversation here in the United States. … We have seen how the war is peddling in Washington, they will see this happening in other countries and they will be very quick to say we must go and intervene. We must go and overthrow this banana republic or this dictatorship. Many of these same people are the ones driving this. And it’s not just Democrats. They are Republicans threatened by President Trump’s refusal to buy into their establishment ways.

Gabbard’s comments came after Maine’s Democratic secretary of state disqualified former President Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot.
In her decision, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows cited Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution which prohibits from office those “engaged in rebellion.”
Bellows made the decision after several state residents, including a bipartisan group of former lawmakers, challenged Trump’s position on the ballot.
