Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, said Monday night that if President Donald Trump had been indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller, it could have “let to civil war,” The Hill reports.
In a series of tweets, Gabbard wrote that now that Mueller’s investigation has concluded without finding evidence of collusion, Democrats should “move beyond” the investigation.
“Now that Mueller has found no collusion took place, we need to set aside our partisan interests and recognize that finding the president of the United States not guilty of conspiring with a foreign power to interfere with our elections is a good thing for America,” she wrote over two tweets.
“If the president of the United States had been indicted for conspiring with Russia to interfere with and affect the outcome of our elections it would have precipitated a terribly divisive crisis that could have even led to civil war,” she continued. “Now we must stand together and move beyond this divisive issue that has taken up enough of the national conversation.
“I'm calling on Congress to protect the integrity of the 2020 elections - and all elections - by passing my Securing America's Elections Act, which empowers every state to use voter-verified paper ballots making it impossible for Russia or anyone else to change our election results,” Gabbard concluded.
