Tulsi Gabbard:  Brennans, Schiffs, and Big Tech Oligarchs More Dangerous than Mob that Stormed Capitol

Here is the sub-headline:

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard blasted former CIA Director John Brennan, House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and big tech “oligarchs” seeking to censor fellow Americans after the January 6 Capitol riot.

From Breitbart News, Reporter Kristina Wong, 26 January 2021.

Here is the lede plus one:

Gabbard shared a video statement online where she criticized them for trying to take away Americans’ constitutionally protected rights.  She said in the video:

The mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6 to try to stop Congress from carrying out its constitutional responsibilities were behaving like domestic enemies of our country.  But let’s be clear.  The John Brennans, Adam Schiffs, and the oligarchs in big tech who are trying to undermine our constitutionally protected rights and turn our country into a police state with KGB-style surveillance are also domestic enemies, and much more powerful and therefore dangerous than the mob that stormed our Capitol.

Former US Rep Tulsi Gabbard is pointing to trends toward Domestic Surveillance, to the detriment of our Civil Rights.  Thanks to Ms Tulsi Gabbard for this.  This is important.

This is a repeat of the 1950s and 1960s, when the Federal Government engaged in Domestic Surveillence, in defiance of the law and the Constitution.  For example the FBI domestic surveillance efforts in the 1950s.  Or Operation CHAOS.

I have met the Reporter of this article, in a non-reporting situation, and was impressed with her.

Hat tip to my wife.
