Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) is set to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this week, the chair of the group that organizes the gathering announced on Monday.
Gabbard, who once sought the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, will address the annual conference’s Ronald Reagan Dinner on Saturday night. Conservative media personality Glenn Beck is set to give the keynote address during the dinner.
Gabbard’s scheduled appearance at CPAC, a gathering of conservative activists and elected officials, is unusual for a Democrat, though it won’t be the first time she’s rankled her own party.
The former Hawaii congresswoman has repeatedly criticized members of her own party, most recently President Biden, whom she accused earlier this month of unnecessarily escalating tensions with Moscow amid a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine.

A reminder that to be "conservative" in 2022 means "being against all the things, whatever they are, except money and ratings" https://t.co/vLcm8PaFqq

Apparently, being pro-choice at CPAC is not an issue if you have a fan base.
I said a while back that I cannot take seriously the pro-lifers who go to CPAC, and there was a lot of howling anger about that, but they keep proving me right. 🤷♂️ https://t.co/qgXQgEYEqL— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) February 22, 2022
Is she joining the Trump cult? CPAC hasn’t been conservative for a long time and today, it’s just a gathering of Trumpies.
Garbage stanning for Russia. https://t.co/PPU3jCnzSg
