Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has now reportedly recently criticized European allies for supporting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky while allegedly adopting anti-freedom policies in their own countries.
During an interview on Fox News, Gabbard expressed concerns that European governments are undermining personal freedoms and democratic principles, even as they champion Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression.
Gabbard argued that many European leaders are embracing policies that restrict free speech and individual rights, which she believes contradicts their stance on supporting democracy in Ukraine.
She pointed to measures such as censorship and limitations on public discourse, suggesting that these actions mirror the authoritarian tactics they claim to oppose in Russia.
The former Democratic presidential candidate has long been critical of U.S. foreign policy, particularly in relation to Ukraine and Russia.
She has previously questioned the level of American support for Ukraine, arguing that it risks escalating tensions with Russia and could lead to broader geopolitical conflicts.
Gabbard has also emphasized the importance of prioritizing American interests and avoiding entanglements that could draw the U.S. into unnecessary wars.
In her interview, Gabbard stressed that while supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty is important, Western nations should not compromise their own democratic values.
“We heard very clearly during Vice President Vance’s speech in Munich. Different examples of how these European partners and longtime allies, in many cases, are actually implementing policies that undermine democracy. That shows that they don’t actually believe in the voices of the people being heard and implementing anti freedom policies. We’re seeing this in the United Kingdom. We’re seeing this in Germany.” Gabbard said.
“We saw it with the tossing out of the elections in Romania. So there’s something fundamentally deeper here that shows a huge difference in divergence between the values that President Trump and Vice President Vance are fighting for, the values that are enshrined in our Constitution, the interests of the American people in our peace and freedom and national security versus those of many of these European countries who are coming to Zelensky’s side.” she added.
She warned that the push to present a unified front against Russia should not come at the expense of freedoms at home.
Gabbard’s comments reflect a broader debate within the U.S. about the extent of American involvement in the Ukraine conflict and the potential domestic consequences of foreign policy decisions.
Critics of U.S. aid to Ukraine often argue that resources could be better used to address pressing issues within the United States.
Her remarks are likely to resonate with those who advocate for a more restrained foreign policy and who are wary of the influence of globalist policies on American governance and freedoms.
