After Wyoming voters rejected her by a landslide, anti-Trump Republican Rep. Liz Cheney pledged to start campaigning for Democrats. Now, it appears, former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard believes turnabout is fair play.

Gabbard, who renounced her former party in a video last week, is campaigning for Republicans in Arizona as the GOP tries to retake at least some control of Congress during next month’s midterm elections.

In an email Monday evening, Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, who is backed by former President Donald Trump, said that Gabbard will campaign on her behalf in the days ahead.

She also announced the event on her own social media pages Monday evening along with an explanation.“For too long establishment leaders from both parties have sought to enrich themselves, play games, and build up their power while ignoring and even enabling the suffering of millions of hard-working Americans. Kari Lake is a leader who puts people first, is fighting for border security, energy independence, public safety, and other policies that actually make life better and more affordable for the American people,” Gabbard tweeted.

“For too long establishment leaders from both parties have sought to enrich themselves, play games, and build up their power while ignoring and even enabling the suffering of millions of hard-working Americans. Kari Lake is a leader who puts people first, is fighting for border security, energy independence, public safety, and other policies that actually make life better and more affordable for the American people,” Gabbard tweeted.

Gabbard also gave Lake a plug.

“Kari Lake isn’t afraid to call out the warmongering elitist cabal of permanent Washington and the Military Industrial Complex, and their propagandists in the mainstream media. I look forward to supporting @KariLake ahead of these critical midterm elections,” she noted.

The event will also feature Republican state attorney general candidate Abraham Hamadeh.

Gabbard also recently campaigned for New Hampshire Republican Senate candidate Don Bolduc.

“We don’t agree on every issue, but I am honored to have the support of Tulsi Gabbard, who shares my view that the status quo is broken, and we need a change of direction,” Bolduc noted in a statement.

Gabbard was clear as to why she bolted the Democratic Party.

“I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war,” she said in her video.

“I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite. I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party. If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me,” the former lawmaker added.
