Hillary Clinton says Tulsi Gabbard is a 'Russian asset' groomed to ensure Trump reelection

Tulsi does remind me of that lady I met at school with the NRA (or some similar organization) who wound up being a Russian spy, wilder things have happened.

At worst she falls into the useful idiot category for Russia.

Hardly an idiot, Eminence, more like a post by an idiot.

The DNC does everything it can to distance itself from true progressivism. It is a capitalist enterprise that answers to money before it does the needs of people.

Again, it’s vastly better than the GOP and I am not engaging in false-equivalency. It is beyond fair to be critical of the organization for how it operates. Refusing to hold a climate debate, for example. For superdelegates. For closed primaries. For purging voting records. For admittedly tilting the race for a certain candidate in court documents.

I think you’re confusing corruption with incompetence. Having a LGBT town hall debate rather than a climate change one is just bad politics. Letting a candidate spew F Bombs and talk about gun confiscation is incompetence. Letting Marianne Williamson and 500 other candidates on stage is incompetence.

And I’m not sure how you can claim that the DNC is pro purging voter records. That’s a weird claim to make. Especially since Democrats across the nation are proposing legislation to make it harder for voter roll purges:

Lastly, I think one could argue that having super delegates is a good thing. If anything, we need to search for ways to strengthen political parties. Think about the function of a political party: Vet candidates. Now can this lead to corruption? Sure. But not having gatekeepers can lead to demagoguery.

The GOP didn’t have super delegates which really rendered the party toothless against Donald Trump. I’m not pro superdelegate necessarily, but I think one could argue that we need to strengthen political parties so they can better vet candidates rather than leave It for the mob to decide and elect a demagogue, like trump.

The Washington Examiner is a far right publication. Did Clinton actually say this? Wow, if she did. It shows where she is coming from and reinforces the depth of her corruption.

There's a link to the podcast in the article. I listened to it. She said it.

The only clarification l would make is l don't think she was insinuating that Gabbard or Stein were actively working with The Russians. I think she meant The Russians were somehow propping up her campaign thru whatever nefarious resources they use.

Still, a galatically stupid and destructive comment.

I think the Dems must have a rubber stamp that says, "Blame Russia."

cuz the Soviet Union wasn’t the motivator behind most of our international interventions over the past 50 years?

I love how Trumpers conveniently forget who our arch enemy in the post WWII era was. And now they assume that a former KGB officer, who has repeatedly claimed that the, “breakup of the USSR was the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century”, would never ever do anything to attack the west.

Good heavens. Some of you could really benefit by studying history.

In case you weren't exactly sure why election meddling was allowed in the first place.

Also claimed Jill Stein in 2016 was a Russian “asset” lmfao.

if she had anything beyond wild, irresponsible conjecture she would, and should, come forward with it.

I'm glad I revealed to see what was being posted. I got curious who was spouting off and expected to see a lot of Hack and saw this post. It was irresistible.

It's not conjecture. It's a fact. Congress investigated and found that Russia promoted Jill Stein:

Russia probe
In December 2018, two reports commissioned by the US Senate found that the Russian government's attempts to interfere in the 2016 election had included boosting Stein's candidacy through social media posts. This disinformation effort targeted African-American voters in particular.

Not only that, but she regularly appeared on RT and was invited to Russia to attend the same meeting that got a certain Michael Flynn in a lot of hot water:

An NBC News analysis found that Russians working under the direction of the Internet Research Agency, the St. Petersburg-based firm run by a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, tweeted the phrase “Jill Stein” over 1,000 times around the time of the election

Clinton's concerns that Russia is going to use Tulsi to hurt the Democratic candidate isn't at all out in left field. They're already promoting her. Their own embassy is tweeting about her. Can you name another Democratic candidate they've defended/promoted?

If you believe that Russia attacked us in 2016 then I can't see how you could just brush off Clinton's comments about Russia using Tulsi Gabbard. Hate the messenger? Sure. Think the timing is bad? Ok. But completely disregard the message? I don't think so.
