Tulsi Gabbard Tells Fox News That European Allies Are ‘Implementing Anti-Freedom Policies’ While Backing Zelensky
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard bashed European allies for “implementing anti-freedom policies” while also offering support to Volodymyr Zelensky.
Following President Donald Trump’s explosive exchange with the Ukrainian leader inside the Oval Office Friday, European countries have pledged their continuing support to Zelensky amid the ongoing war with Russia.
During an interview on Fox News Sunday, anchor Shannon Bream asked Gabbard for her thoughts on Russian leaders celebrating the fallout between Trump and Zelensky. The DNI replied by bashing European leaders for undermining Democracy by “implementing anti-freedom policies.”
BREAM: What do you make of Russia celebrating and saying what the US is doing lines up with their vision.
GABBARD: They’re going to say what their position is. What we should pay attention to here in the United States of America is the American people. So many people across the country celebrating the strong leadership that President Trump and Vice President Vance demonstrated in the Oval Office. Something we have not seen over the last four years of the Biden administration, where we finally have a president who’s going to stand up strongly and fiercely and unwaveringly for the cause of peace and freedom for the American people. I know that that is who President Trump has on his heart and on his mind, as he is working towards bringing about a negotiated end to this war. I think those who are criticizing his efforts in this way are showing that they are not committed to peace, and in the case of many of those European countries, that they’re not committed to the cause and values of freedom, even though they speak of this. 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. 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. As he walked out of the white House saying basically that they are going to support him in continuing this war and that they don’t stand with us around these fundamental values of freedom.
