Former Hindu Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard joins Fox News

November 16, 2022 21:25

Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who has the distinction of being the first-ever Hindu lawmaker in the US Congress, has joined the conservative Fox News channel, a media report said.

Gabbard, 41, who represented the Second Congressional District of Hawaii as a Democrat for four consecutive terms beginning in 2013, had quit her parent party last month.

"A representative for the conservative-leaning cable channel confirmed Gabbard signed a deal Monday and will start appearing on its programmes next week," The Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday.

On October 11, Gabbard announced that she is leaving the Democratic Party.

Subsequently, she campaigned for and supported several Republican Party candidates during the just concluded midterm elections.

"I refuse to be a part of today's Democratic Party that is controlled by fanatical ideologues who hate freedom and work to silence and destroy anyone who opposes their efforts to undermine it," Gabbard told her supporters after leaving the Democratic Party.

"I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party -- which is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness. The Democrats of today divide us by racializing every issue, stoking anti-white racism, and are actively working to undermine our God-given freedoms enshrined in our Constitution," Gabbard said. -- PTI
