3:32Now PlayingA little over a month ago, Tulsi Gabbard announced that she was leaving the Democratic Party and went full MAGA - including getting a new job at Fox News. But her wish to be a Republican superstar may have backfired, as nearly all of the right wing candidates that she endorsed in the midterms LOST their elections. Gabbard thought she was joining a winning team, but she ended up being one of the biggest losers, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

For well over a year now, Uh, former liberal Tulsa Gabbard had been making her right word lurch, getting more and more into those conservative spaces going on Fox News, getting on social media, talking about how Christians are being persecuted and going after the LGBTQ community. And then finally on October 11th of this year, TSI Gabbard officially said, I'm done with the Democratic Party. And she, from that point forward, went full MAGA Republican. She came out and endorsed some of the worst Republican candidates running for office this year. And now that the dust has settled, it turns out that newly minted MAGA Republican, Tulsi Gabbard was one of the biggest losers of the midterms. Of the 13 candidates that Tulsi Gabbard endorsed after October 11th, when she officially left the Democratic Party of the 13, she endorsed, 10 of them lost. Two out of the three that won were safe bet Republicans that stood no chance of losing whatsoever.
So basically, Tulsi Gabbard only endorsed one person in a swing area of the country that actually barely managed to win their race. And that of course was JD Vance in Ohio. So here is the list of tulsi GA's failures. Now that she is a Republican, she endorsed John Gibbs in Michigan's third district. He lost Tom Barrett in Michigan's seventh district. He lost Joe Kent in Washington's third district. He lost Blake Masters in Arizona. He lost Adam Lao in Nevada. He lost Don Bullock in New Hampshire. He lost Kerry Lake in Arizona, lost Darren Bailey in Illinois, lost Tudor Dixon in Michigan, lost Lee Eldon in New York. Lost. But she did endorse, like I said, a couple of winners. JD Vanson, Ohio, who barely won his election, but he won. Nonetheless, Toi endorsed him. So she gets a victory there. But the two other winners were Mike Lee, Senator Mike Lee in Utah, who was never going to lose that election.
And Kirsty known governor of South Dakota, who also stood no chance of losing her election. So I'm not giving her credit for the safe bets, right? Anybody could have predicted those victories. So that doesn't count. You had no bearing there. So you got one victory and 10 losses. How's it feel to be a republican? T You're loving that. See, the problem is you are loving it because on Monday you signed that big contract with Fox News. You're officially a Fox News Mega Freak Toi you also, uh, hosted Tucker Carlson's program that evening. So I hope the money's worth it. You completely sold out. You sold your soul, you've changed your stripes, trying to pretend you're something that you, I don't know, maybe you always have been. Maybe you're just chasing money. Who knows what it is. But at the end of the day, we can now safely say that statistically you're just another Republican loser.
