Chuck Morse in the Republican primary last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had created controversy by questioning the results of the 2020 presidential election, but after winning the primary, he said on Fox News: &#8220;I have come to the conclusion, and I want to be definitive on this, the election was not stolen.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her blistering statement announcing her leaving the Dems, the patriotic Army Reserve Major&nbsp;twice deployed to the Middle East, blasted the Democrats for their insane wokeness, calling them an \u2018elitist cabal.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also implored other \u201cindependent-minded Democrats\u201d to join her by leaving the Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As CNN&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/10\/11\/politics\/tulsi-gabbard-leaves-democratic-party\/index.html\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI can no longer remain in today\u2019s Democratic Party. It\u2019s now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue &amp; stoking anti-white racism, who actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms enshrined in our Constitution,\u201d Gabbard said in a&nbsp;<\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H4Z1x8Ou8VU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video<\/a>&nbsp;posted to social media.

He just gave a big speech saying supporters of President (Donald) Trump are the most extremist group in our country and a threat to our democracy. That\u2019s half the country,\u201d she said in her Tuesday video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the 2020 campaign, Hillary Clinton suggested that Gabbard was being groomed as a potential third-party candidate without naming Gabbard, while also suggesting she was a \u201cRussian asset.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Appearing increasingly on Fox News, Gabbard even spoke to the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Gabbard has not said whether she will join the Republican Party, register as an independent or launch a new party, her strong support for Bolduc says a lot about her trajectory and hints to a possible future political role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blaze&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/news\/ex-democrat-tulsi-gabbard-to-campaign-with-gop-senate-candidate-don-bolduc-in-new-hampshire\">reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Bolduc campaign announced Wednesday that Gabbard will join the GOP candidate and &#8220;barnstorm the Granite State,&#8221; with a schedule of events forthcoming.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;We don&#8217;t agree on every issue, but I am honored to have the support of Tulsi Gabbard who shares my view that the status quo is broken, and we need a change of direction,&#8221; Bolduc said in a statement.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Tulsi is a fellow change agent and independent-minded outsider willing to speak truth to power.

Bolduc over the finish lion to victory.
