Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard accused her former party of adopting a platform of “hatred and hostility towards women,” arguing that in the Democrats’ crusade for transgender rights they are denying the “existence of objective truth.”
Gabbard, the former Hawaii congresswoman who left the Democratic Party last year after leaving office, said one of the primary reasons for her leaving was the party’s insistence that gender is a social construct.
“We just celebrated International Women’s Day last week,” she said Saturday. “I was scrolling through social media seeing, you know, what are people saying about it, and you saw a lot of nice, flowery words from a lot of people in Washington celebrating women and all that women have accomplished over the years and all these great inspiring examples of women leaders throughout our time. We know the hypocrisy there, you ask them what is a woman, and they can’t answer the question. And one of the people they chose to honor in White House on International Women’s Day was not a woman at all, it was a biological male.”
“There are two major points here,” she continued. “Number one is there is no greater expression of hatred and hostility towards women than to try to erase our existence as a category of people and to minimize us to being a construct of anyone’s imagination.”
