Former Democratic House Representative from Hawai and 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard speaks at the 2022 Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida.

Tulsi receives thunderous applause when she took the podium, she greeted the crowd with an “Aloha” and thanked everyone for a warm welcome, which came four days after she was announced as a CPAC speaker.

“You’re making me feel right at home,” she said with a smile.

In her 25-minute speech that is uploaded in her Youtube channel as well, Tulsi attempted to balance two opposing viewpoints: the idea of a “common foundation” in the American public, and the idea of a “powerful elite” aimed at canceling and silencing those who speak out against the government, we are already seeing the action of Big Tech on Conservatives.

Tulsi said in her speech. “If you dare to oppose or even question the president, his administration, or his policies, ‘shut up, step back fall in line, or we’re coming after you.’ This isn’t some theory. This is reality.”

About attending Tulsi Gabbard, we had asked this question to ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp, He told that The two were set up by SD Gov. Noem, who he said was a friend of Gabbard, and that speaking at the conference wasn’t the purpose of the call.

Tulsi also said: 

“I think the fact that, you know, the announcement of my coming to speak at CPAC resulted in some pretty ugly, strongly-worded, even vile attacks ... from people on both the left and the right,” she added, “is kind of indicative of this problem.”

“We started talking and had good conversations and seemed to be on the same page,” Matt said. “I didn’t request Tulsi's speech, so I listened like everybody and I thought it was really well done.”

Tulsi also reinforced some of the conspiracies and cultural movements nearly all CPAC speakers have shared from the stage without ever using the word “conservative” to describe herself.

Tulsi also praised John Durham's probe of the investigation into Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election (which she portrayed as one into “Clinton corruption,” another conservative talking point about one of Gabbard’s political enemies). She also propped up the idea of “cancel culture” for those who tried to criticize the current government.

But she said the CPAC attendees—still without using the word “conservative”—will lead the battle to fight back against Democrats.

“We have decided that we belong to no one but God,” she said. “We are not subjects or slaves of those who govern and by God’s grace, we are free and we will fight to remain free.”
