Tulsi Gabbard Said US 'Cycle Of Regime Change' Was Over - Just 2 Months Before Maduro Arrest

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told a crowd in October that the “counterproductive and endless cycle of regime change or nation-building” was over– a little over a month before President Donald Trump’s military actions in Venezuela.

After news broke on Saturday of the Trump administration’s capture Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, social media was quick to unearth Gabbard’s previous warnings against Venezuelan intervention.

In 2019, as a Democratic candidate for president, Gabbard slammed the first Trump administration for “increased saber rattling and tensions” with Venezuela. “Pushing for this civil war, pushing for the use of military force, will only end up with more suffering and death and disaster for the Venezuelan people,” she said on Fox News that year.

But DNI Gabbard also spoke out against this type of intervention much more recently, while working within Trump’s second administration. Speaking at conference in Bahrain on Oct. 31, Gabbard praised Trump for “building peace through diplomacy” while claiming that the days of foreign intervention were over.

Hypocrisy is irrelevant to a Trumpist. Past statements and positions are irrelevant. Lying on every side of an issue makes truth irrelevant.
