Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard doubled down on her comments that Rep. Adam Schiff and former CIA Director John Brennan are a greater danger to the nation than those who rioted at the U.S Capitol, warning on Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" of attempts to counter domestic insurgents through surveillance and other monitoring activities.
"We recognize that those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 trying to stop Congress from fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities, they were acting as domestic terrorists undermining our Constitution," Gabbard said. "[However,] those like John Brennan, Adam Schiff and others are also acting as domestic terrorists, because they are also undermining our Constitution by trying to take away our civil liberties and rights that are guaranteed to us.”
The Hawaii Democrat said it is "incredibly dangerous" the "extent that they are going to try to undermine the rights and freedoms that are guaranteed to every one of us."
Gabbard lashed out at tech industry leaders for helping to crush these rights, saying "they are using their monopolistic power to pick and choose whose voices are heard and whose voices are squelched, whether it’s based on who they agree with, disagree with, political affiliation, who you voted for."
The former congresswoman urged viewers to "take a stand and unite around these principles in our Constitution and continue to speak freely."
She said citizens must make it known to "President Biden and every member of Congress how critical it is they take a stand and denounce the likes of John Brennan and Adam Schiff's actions," warning that "if we do not and if they do not, then this country that we love and cherish will no longer exist."
