Ex-Democrat, reported contender for Trump running mate, sued Clinton for Russia remark but dropped case
Tulsi Gabbard, the former Democratic congresswoman, has repeated a discredited claim about Hillary Clinton that previously saw Gabbard lodge then drop a $50m defamation suit in a new book published as she seeks to be named Donald Trump’s running mate for US president.
Accusing Democrats of making up “a conspiracy theory that [Trump] was ‘colluding’ with the Russians to win the election” in 2016, Gabbard claims: “Hillary Clinton used a similar tactic against me when I ran for president in 2020, accusing me of being ‘groomed by the Russians’.”
Gabbard ran for the Democratic nomination. Clinton did not accuse her of being “groomed by the Russians”.
What happened to her. In 2015 she was a Bernie Sanders supporter and was a big help in 2016. By 2020 she was a toxic piece of shit.
Russian influence.
Putin hates Clinton. Gabbard was useful as a “progressive” to try to weaken Hilary. Once Hilary was out of the picture, she became more useful as a general “there’s something wrong with the Democrats” Democrat. Now, she’s just whatever shit she can stir to weaken the left of American politics. “Enlightened centrist”, Democrat critic, Trump sycophant—whatever.
Maybe Clinton didn’t say it but I will, she’s been groomed by the Russians.
She saw she could make more money on the other side.
Money.
I had a thought, but that was Gabby Giffords in 2011 and a better human.
