Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard shared her reaction to being placed on a domestic terror watchlist after criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris.

“There’s no other way to put it.”

In yet another example raising concerns over the weaponization of the federal government, Federal Air Marshall whistleblowers had recently come forward to report that the “Quiet Skies” TSA surveillance program included Gabbard. After her comments on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” appeared to be the trigger for such treatment, she returned to spell out how the violation of her constitutional rights was “a clear act of political retaliation.”

Sharing the recent appearance with Laura Ingraham, Gabbard wrote on X, “RETALIATION. A few weeks ago, I had the audacity to tell the truth: that Kamala Harris would essentially be a mouthpiece and puppet of the Military Industrial Complex and National Security State. The next day, July 23, they retaliated. Sadly this is what we can expect from the ‘Harris’ Administration.”

“This is a clear act of political retaliation. There’s no other way to put it,” she told the host.

During the previous appearance, the former congresswoman had said, “Our foreign policy decisions are being made by unelected people in the military-industrial complex who are profiting from us being in a constant state of war and the national security state that has more power to undermine our freedoms and liberties when we are in a state of war.”

“Kamala Harris does not have the strength to stand up to the military-industrial complex,” she added only days after the vice president had been coronated as the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee.

Adding context for how the whistleblower report made her feel, Gabbard explained, “Like many Americans, I enlisted because of the terrorist attacks on 9/11, to go after the Islamist terrorists who attacked us on that day. And to now have my own government now turn around and put me on a domestic terror watchlist…it hits to the core and is the ultimate sense of betrayal.”

As had previously been covered, UncoverDC editor-in-chief had broke the story about the former lawmaker’s inclusion on the same list as J6 defendants and their families all while Harris, in her role as border czar, oversaw the entry of millions of illegal aliens into the country, including dozens of foreign nationals with terror ties.

Whistleblower attorney Tristan Leavitt, president of Empower Oversight, had detailed that any flight boarded by Gabbard was expected to have “two Explosive Detection Canine Teams, one Transportation Security Specialist (explosives), one plainclothes TSA Supervisor, and three Federal Air Marshals,” and revealed that the TSA was undertaking a “retaliatory investigation” in who the whistleblowers were.

“It sends a warning both to me and to anyone else who even thinks about daring to criticize our own government — which is a guaranteed protected right under the First Amendment — that we will be subject to a violation of our Fourth Amendment right to privacy through this kind of surveillance,” expressed Gabbard. “And that, that’s the biggest stress that’s been caused by this situation, Laura, is now forever, I will always be looking over my shoulder wondering if and how our government, in any of these different agencies is: surveilling me; watching me; are they reading my text messages; are they listening to my phone calls.”

Ingraham opined, “This is literally like the Soviet Union, China today, North Korea, any totalitarian regime. But Donald Trump is the totalitarian, right? He’s the dictator in waiting. Okay.”

The Fox News contributor currently serving as a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve went on to add, “I would not be surprised to know that there are other government agencies who are also being weaponized against political opponents, those who dare to challenge this regime, the Biden-Harris administration.”

“I cannot be free,” said Gabbard, “so long as my government is breathing down my neck and watching my every move.”

Is this why she's apparently switched side to help Trumps's debate prep?
Gabbard switched sides before this, but the Dems disavowed her first for torpedoing Harris's 2020 campaign. She's also not a big enough war hawk for their liking.

IMO, putting a political rival and critic on a terrorist watch list should be bigger news. After all, using the law against political opponents is what Dems said Trump would do.

You used to claim the powers that be in the Democratic Party were pulling the strings to ensure that Biden was the nominee, now you're claiming they wanted Kamala to continue in the contest so she would presumably continue criticising Biden. This just doesn't make sense.

It was apparent that Harris was the DNC's preferred candidate, but when her campaign imploded and she had to drop out, they rallied around Biden instead.

In 2020, I said Biden was the contingency plan to ensure Harris would be the Dem nominee in 2024. It all played out as I predicted, so how exactly am I being contradictory?

That said, I'm sure the DNC would have found any of the neoliberal candidates suitable. They only coalesced around Biden after Bernie Sanders emerged as the front runner.

Not everything is a conspiracy. The fact that Kamala's campaign didn't really go anywhere in 2020 and she abandoned it before the first primary took place, shows the DNC didn't have the power to make her the nominee like you suggest.

The Dems still pretended to care about the democratic process in 2020. It wasn't like now where their senile candidate drops out and the nomination is handed to his VP.

Also, the DNC is able to exert much more control and influence over the primaries themselves. If candidates flounder and drop out before then, there's not much they can do.

And while "not everything is a conspiracy" may be true, not everything is how it appears on the surface either. That's why it's important not to lose one's critical thinking skills.

Bernie Sanders won the first 3 primaries in 2020. It was after this that the remaining neoliberals dropped out and endorsed Biden. Sanders admits this was a coordinated effort to keep him from getting the nomination. He also admits that we have a "democracy" in name only. Anybody can run for office, but the real power is in the hands of the wealthy.

It's amazing how he can realize this, while still heaping praise on the Dems. Now that doesn't make sense!
