Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has once again been confronted with her membership in the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders program. Should we trust her answers?

On April 4th, former U.S. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard spoke at the Independent National Convention in Austin, Texas. Other speakers included journalist Chris Hedges and former Cleveland Mayor and U.S. Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich. After Gabbard’s speech, I had an opportunity to ask her one question while walking with her to her vehicle.

I chose to ask her about her listing as a member of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders (YGL) program. Gabbard’s apparent affiliation with the YGL has become a sticking point for potential supporters as the public becomes aware of the dangerous influence groups like the WEF have over national governments. I have previously investigated the WEF’s programs for infiltrating these governments, including the YGL, Global Shapers, and New Champions.

When I asked Gabbard if she would like an opportunity to explain her connection to the WEF she stated, “I’ve talked about this in different podcasts, Dr Drew’s podcast, Cameron Haynes. There’s not much more to say other than the fact that they put me on their website”.

When pressed as to why the WEF put her on their website, Gabbard said it would be a much longer conversation and she “can guess why they probably did”.

As Gabbard noted in her answer, she did indeed address this question in interviews with Dr. Drew and podcaster Cameron Haynes. When given an opportunity to explain her relationship with the WEF, Gabbard told Dr. Drew:

“So basically what what happened was early, I don’t know maybe in the first or second year that I served in Congress, I found out that my picture and name had been placed on the WEF website under this category they have listed as young global leaders, and it I looked at it and I was like okay well they have different people of different political parties and from around the world that are on this website.

I was never asked to join and I was never informed by them that they had put my name and picture on their website I honestly didn’t know that much about it but people have said oh well what did you learn by graduating from Klaus Schwab’s young global leaders Academy or all this stuff and it’s just it’s unfortunate that there’s a lot of I don’t know false assumptions being made. I’ve never gone to any of their events, I didn’t graduate from anything, so I’ve literally not had anything to do with the WEF. I’m glad to just make clear that there is no connection between me and the world economic Forum”

Gabbard also stated that her record shows that she has “been talking about, warning against the very things that these people are pushing”.

When speaking with Cameron Haynes Gabbard provided a similar answer, stating that the excitement around her election to office led to a number of groups and organizations attempting to recruit her.

“I go back to 2012 when I was first elected to congress there was a lot of buzz around my election and none of it was created by me but I was brought in and there were headlines and news stories saying oh you know Tulsa Gabbard’s rising star in the Democratic party.”

“My name popped up on the the WEF website as someone they had designated as a YGL. I didn’t know anything about it and I thought okay well maybe this is a platform where I can go and deliver my message and bring to the table the things that that I care about right and so all these different things came my way and I took advantage of opportunities.”

Gabbard told Haynes that she has spoken out against the “kind of globalist policies that the WEF pushes”. She also stated that she was not invited to speak at any of the WEF events and didn’t attend any of their sessions. However, she believed, “It’s important for me in that position to be able to take advantage of those platforms and opportunities to be that voice in the room, maybe the only voice in the room, right saying ‘no, we the people are not here to serve your globalist corporate agenda'”.

However, neither of the interviews with Dr. Drew or Cameron Haynes — or any of the other interviews where she addressed the YGL connection — mentioned Gabbard’s March 2015 tweet thanking the YGL for including her in membership.
