Tulsi Gabbard issued a dire warning to the American people on Tuesday, expressing concern that &#8220;domestic enemies&#8221; of the United States, in the national security community and Big Tech industry, are plotting to create a &#8220;police state&#8221; in America.<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard, who served as the U.S. representative for Hawaii&#8217;s 2nd Congressional District from 2013 to 2021, posted a video to social media in which she spoke out against efforts to expand the federal government&#8217;s national security powers after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. In the video, she called out former CIA Director John Brennan and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), two leading proponents of expanding national security powers, labeling them &#8220;domestic enemies&#8221; of the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The mob who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 to try to stop Congress from carrying out its constitutional responsibilities were behaving like domestic enemies of our country,&#8221; Gabbard said. &#8220;But let&#8217;s be clear, the John Brennans, Adam Schiffs and the oligarchs in Big Tech who are trying to undermine our constitutionally protected rights and turn our country into a police state with KGB-style surveillance are also domestic enemies \u2014 and much more powerful, and therefore dangerous, than the mob that stormed the Capitol.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"813a2\" class=\"rm-shortcode\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"0d450b7d29b516091b627ea28c392851\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/index.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1354035548524957697&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theblaze.com%2Fnews%2Ftulsi-gabbard-adam-schiff-john-brennan-domestic-enemies&amp;partner=rebelmouse&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1354035548524957697\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"92105\" class=\"rm-shortcode\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"1e1db6f417c65554efa65cf59a585085\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-1\" class=\"\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/index.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-1&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1354035948674113536&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theblaze.com%2Fnews%2Ftulsi-gabbard-adam-schiff-john-brennan-domestic-enemies&amp;partner=rebelmouse&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1354035948674113536\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The video cuts to a clip from MSNBC of Brennan saying that members of the Biden administration &#8220;are now moving in laser-like fashion to try to uncover as much as they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we see overseas.&#8221; Brennan was speaking of individuals and groups like those that formed the mob that laid siege to the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>The events of Jan. 6 have been\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/01\/12\/us\/politics\/capitol-republicans-democrats.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\">compared in the media<\/a>\u00a0to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a comparison some have used to call for a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/5930592\/everyone-thinks-im-a-terrorist-capitol-riot-fuels-calls-for-domestic-war-on-terror\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\">Domestic War on Terror<\/a>,&#8221; demanding that the U.S. employ strategies here at home akin to those used against ISIS and al-Qaeda abroad.
