This month former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, a 2020 presidential candidate left the Democratic Party. Earlier today she endorsed Darren Bailey, the Republican candidate for governor in Illinois.
This morning she was a guest on Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson's WIND-AM show, Chicago's Morning Answer.
Here's among Gabbard said:
Gabbard: “I just came from being with [GOP gubernatorial candidate] Tudor Dixon over the weekend in Michigan, and I know a lot of the same challenges that people are frustrated with and feeling in Michigan are the same things that Darren is telling me folks are frustrated with here in Illinois. Things obviously, like incredibly-rising crime rates...heavily restricted controls by the government throughout the COVID pandemic...parents being told ‘Hey you don't have a right to have a say in what your child is being taught in school.’ These are all things that aren't Democrat or Republican, they are issues that are affecting every person and every family in this state, and that this governor, Governor Pritzker, has failed on.”
Gabbard went on to say: “My message to voters here in the state of Illinois: Do you feel like our economy is working for you? Do you feel like you are being honored and empowered as parents with policies that actually strengthen families, rather than trying to tear us apart? And if the answer to any of those is NO then I urge you to really take a hard look and consider casting your vote for [DARREN BAILEY] because he is a man of the people.”
