The Des Moines Register said this was the highlight of the Hawaii congresswoman’s appearance at the Democratic Party’s 2019 Hall of Fame event on Sunday, June 9.
“I’ll bring a soldier’s principle of service-above-self to the White House, restoring the values of integrity and honor and respect to the presidency,” Gabbard said.
She said her priorities — like enacting “Medicare For All,” improving education, rebuilding the country’s infrastructure and improving its water and air — cannot happen without dealing with the cost of war.
“As president and commander in chief, I will end our foreign policy of waging wasteful regime-change wars that have taken so many lives, that has cost us trillions of taxpayer dollars and undermined our national security,” Gabbard said.
