U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard resigned her post as a vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee today, allowing her to formally endorse Bernie Sanders for president.
Gabbard made the announcement on the NBC political talk show “Meet the Press.”
“As a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, I’m required to remain neutral in Democratic primaries, but I cannot remain neutral any longer,” Gabbard laterexplained in a video statement. “The stakes are just too high.”
Gabbard cited her experience as a veteran of two military deployments in arguing that Sanders has the judgment necessary to make sound military decisions.
“We need a commander in chief who has foresight, who exercises good judgment, and who understands the need for a robust foreign policy which defends the safety andsecurity of the American people and who will not waste precious lives and money on interventionist wars of regime change,” Gabbard said. “Such counterproductive warsundermine our national security and economic prosperity.”
