Gabbard slams Democrats' 'hostility towards God,' condemns anti-ICE agitators who stormed church

By Fox News · Fox News

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard said the incident involving anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agitators who descended on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minn., is an example of what made her leave the Democratic Party, slamming what she described as her former party's "hostility towards God." "One of the main reasons I left the Democrat Party was because of their hostility towards God and those who have faith in or are trying to cultivate their love for God," Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022, wrote in a post on X . "Those so-called 'protestors' who tried to intimidate and terrorize innocent women, children, and men in the Minneapolis church is just another example of their hostility towards God and His worshippers. Such behavior is demoniac and should be condemned by everyone, and those who took part in such intimidation tactics should be held accountable." In October 2022, Gabbard, who had previously served as a congresswoman for Hawaii and ran for president as a Democrat, announced that she was leaving the Democratic Party. At the time, she denounced her former party as an "elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness." MINNESOTA PASTOR CONDEMNS ANTI-ICE AGITATORS WHO INTERRUPTED SERVICE: ‘SHAMEFUL AND UNLAWFUL’ On Sunday, anti-ICE agitators stormed Cities Church congregants in St. Paul, drawing widespread outrage and condemnation from Christian and political leaders. In one video circulating online, agitators can be heard chanting, "Justice for Renee Good," and "Who needs justice, we need justice," as they stood inside the church during the service. Minnesota has seen anti-ICE unrest since the fatal ICE-involved shooting of Renee Nicole Good on Jan. 7. Cities Church lists eight pastors of varying roles, including David Easterwood, who shares the same name as the acting director of ICE’s St. Paul field office, though it has not been confirmed whether the two individuals are the same person.
