Tulsi Gabbard, the former Democratic representative from Hawaii, on Friday expressed concern that a proposed measure to combat domestic terrorism could be used to undermine civil liberties.
Gabbard’s comments came during an appearance on Fox News Primetime when host Brian Kilmeade asked her if she was “surprised they’re pushing forward with this extra surveillance on would-be domestic terror.”
“It’s so dangerous as you guys have been talking about, this is an issue that all Democrats, Republicans, independents, Libertarians should be extremely concerned about, especially because we don’t have to guess about where this goes or how this ends,” Gabbard said.
She continued: “When you have people like former CIA Director John Brennan openly talking about how he’s spoken with or heard from appointees and nominees in the Biden administration who are already starting to look across our country for these types of movements similar to the insurgencies they’ve seen overseas, that in his words, he says make up this unholy alliance of religious extremists, racists, bigots, he lists a few others and at the end, even libertarians.”
She said her concern lies in how officials will define the characteristics they are searching for in potential threats.
“What characteristics are we looking for as we are building this profile of a potential extremist, what are we talking about? Religious extremists, are we talking about Christians, evangelical Christians, what is a religious extremist? Is it somebody who is pro-life? Where do you take this?” Gabbard said.
She said the proposed legislation could create “a very dangerous undermining of our civil liberties, our freedoms in our Constitution, and a targeting of almost half of the country.”
“You start looking at obviously, have to be a white person, obviously likely male, libertarians, anyone who loves freedom, liberty, maybe has an American flag outside their house, or people who, you know, attended a Trump rally,” Gabbard said.
I liked Trump, but when BLM was rioting he did nothing too.

The mayors and governors didn't do shit. This was outside of Trump's jurisdiction.

Correct. Ft Wayne, notice how the blm rioters raged? Even the first night, which mostly wasn’t shown on the news, downtown was devastated. 15+ cop cars were burned, graffiti all over the government buildings, etc.
Yet somehow someway when it came to the Laker and Dodger celebrations, containing more people, the LAPD was able to issue an order to disperse within 30 minutes and have the entire several block areas cleared in less than two hours.
This wasn’t on Trumps back. It’s solely on that lying weasel Eric Garcetti and the other big city mayors that let their cities burn.
Fortwaynemobile saysCouldn’t he send in military?
Nope.
Elections are ran BY THE STATES.
it says nothing about states not running elections anymore from what I can tell.
Patrick says
But he could have sent in the National Guard.
Nope. He had zero ground to do so.

Doesn't matter he should have rolled in the troops in this case. Rule of law has been abandoned by the leftards so there's no level playing field

Difficult call. There were rumours that the cabal would have called him a dictator and asked for UN peacekeeping troops to enter the USA.
That would not have gone down well and the US would have taken another step closer to Civil War.
