Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard threatened to boycott the October debate after accusing the Democrat Party of "trying to hijack the entire election process."
The Hawaii congresswoman alleged that the Democrat National Committee has attempted to rig the primary process in an attempt to cull the crowded primary field. Gabbard, whose underdog campaign rose in the polls following her performance in the July debate, said she is willing to forgo the next televised debate to pressure the party into remaining neutral in the nominating process.
"In order to bring attention to this serious threat to our democracy and to ensure that your voice is heard, I’m seriously considering boycotting the next debate on October 15th," Gabbard said. "I’m going to announce my decision within the next few days."
Gabbard claimed voters from Iowa and New Hampshire expressed to her their concern that the DNC and corporate media are rigging the competition.
"There are so many of you that I have had the opportunity to meet in Iowa and New Hampshire who have expressed to me how frustrated you are that the DNC and corporate media are essentially trying to usurp your role as voters in choosing who our democrat nominee will be," Gabbard said.

She accused Trump of lying a few weeks ago when he said this. Glad it’s happening to her
Have you seen where Trump said Biden kissed obammy's ass? On tv no less.
I'm glad the left is noticing their own corruption.
Same old Democrat subterfuge and the media lapdogs don't want to do their job.
Sorry for her disgust, but do you think anyone in her party cares?
The GOP did the same thing to Ron Paul. They closed 3 districts polling places for snow... in Maine. It wasn't even heavy snow, and nothing gets closed for snow in Maine. He would have won the state and that momentum would have had him head to head against Romney with a very good shot. Kicking yourselves yet?
"trying to hijack the entire election process." The dems have done this for years. They don't try to do it, they do it!
She's the only Democratic candidate I would vote for if I had no other options. Anyone who served her country in the military has my vote.
Agreed. She has some good ideas and is not a basket case like the rest of the Dem candidates. If Biden goes down they will shove Hillary down our throats again. Hope she falls down some more stairs.
