Tulsi Gabbard Calls Out Democrats for Not Defining the Term ‘Woman’

Former Rep. 👤Tulsi Gabbard told attendees at the Independent Women’s Forum that those in the “highest positions of power” are denying the truth when refusing to define “woman.”

Gabbard made her comments Thursday evening, after being given the Women’s Forum 2022 Resilience Award, where she went on to say those in power are attempting to bully those who disagree with them, “It is conform or be canceled.”

The former Democrat reiterated the importance of defending what it means to be a woman and called out those who won’t define the term “woman” for ushering in cancel culture and censorship.

“How is it controversial to define what a woman is?” Gabbard asked. “It is the height of hypocrisy for those who claim to be feminists, who claim to be champions for women over decades … to deny that there is such a thing as a woman.”

The women’s forum speaker went on to say, “We have an administration in the White House, and woke politicians in Washington, a Supreme Court justice, who are unable and unwilling to define what a woman is,” seeming to refrence recently confirmed Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson who declined to define what a woman was during her confirmation hearings.

Near the start of her speech, the former lawmaker thanked athletes who are standing up to the re-definition of the terminology of women, saying they are doing a service to women who came before and those who would come after them.

Gabbard made headlines earlier this week when she announced she was leaving the Democratic Party because they were attempting to “ every issue and stoke anti-white racism,” and is “under complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers,” as IJR previously reported.

“I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.

If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.

I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite. I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party.”

Gabbard was a former Democratic representative and presidential candidate as well as a United States Army Reserve officer.
