Hillary Clinton is doubling down on her suggestion that the Russians are “grooming” Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard to launch a third-party White House bid.

Clinton did not mention Gabbard by name when she said: “I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on someone who’s currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate. She’s the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far.”

When asked if the former secretary of state was referring to Gabbard, Clinton’s spokesperson said: “If the nesting doll fits.”

Hillary Clinton hints Tulsi Gabbard is being groomed by Russia as third-party candidate – live | US news | The Guardian


Sounds so familiar.... Whenever there's someone the Democrats don't like or feel threatened by, the Russia rumor mill goes into action.
Remember, the power of perception goes a long way in the game of politics. For some reason the Democrats must feel like she is leaning third party.

Curious if other Democrats have the same thoughts?
Discuss.

Clinton: The Russians will run a third party candidate

My thoughts there.
 
Hillary should take the hint and just STFU already.
I don't put anything past the Russians at this point, but this smells like CT and that is not a good smell.
 
She has been a supporter of the Assad regime, blames the US for the war in Syria.


But blaming the United States for Assad and Russian war crimes is Gabbard’s pattern. That’s what she did during and after her 2017 trip to Syria, which she calls a diplomatic mission.

In fact, what she did was tour Aleppo after it had been decimated by Assad and Russia, and declared it a victory for peace. She made videos that regurgitated Assad propaganda from Assad-friendly Syrians and blamed the United States and the rebels for the destruction Assad’s regime wrought. She helped a mass murderer whitewash mass atrocities.

Now, Gabbard is running on that record. In a campaign ad in March, she actually blamed the United States for the death and destruction in Syria while showing a video of the Assad regime dropping barrel bombs (another war crime) on the Syrian city of Darayya.

Gabbard’s 2017 trip was financed and run by members of a Lebanese socialist-nationalist party that works closely with the Assad regime. (She repaid the money later after criticism.) On this trip, she met only with the regime-approved “opposition” and said they were against the rebellion.

Jesus christ she is not a RUSSIAN asset. Hillary should keep her goddamned mouth shut. Gabbard is not the right fit for president. She is being marginalized by the democrats, though, and I fully expect her to leave the party. They're forcing it. I don't agree with everything Tulsi says but there is absolutely ZERO evidence to back up this complete nonsense.

Non-interventionist=Russian asset to neoliberal davos tech elite clowns.

Unsurprising.

This blows the narrative about accusing some Republicans of being influenced by Russia or working for them because they're Republican out of water.

I wonder what Gabbard did to Hillary? Or is she just desperate to stay relevant. I'm surprised she didn't also state that Gabbard is one of the reasons she lost the election.

As I've said before - this is the season where democrats bring out the knives. They just can't get any press attention for it right now.
 
She's right, Tulsi Gabbard is definitely a Russian operative.

In theory I agree, but then so should the wacky Democrats, one in particular, who said about Trump, "all roads lead to Putin".

I can see her leaving too, but does she go Independent or go Republican?

Well one is clearly hyperbole and CT nonsense that has no basis of fact.
The other is the opposite of that.

I am sorry, but this is McCarthyistic nonsense, HumblePi. Unless you have cold, hard evidence to back up the claim, just because someone is an isolationist or is solicitous towards tyrannical foreign powers does not make Tulsi Gabbard or anyone else who thinks like her a traitor.

Independent. I can't see her becoming a republican, but it's cannibalism like this that will result in her leaving. The dims are daft if they listen to this malodorous and insufferable demagogue. I am so ****ing sick of HRC. Just stfu.

Yeah I don't see the Russian operative thing. She is far from the idea of a useful idiot.
And she is too passionate for America to be corrupted.
What she isn't though, is POTUS material.

I thought she may have said this to bring even more negative attention to herself to go after Gabbard. I don't know what's really motivating her. She's an odd duck.

Yeah, I actually don't get it. Who sees her as a threat to become part of the DNC elite? Why circle firing squad like this? It's depressing.

I hope Hillary keeps talking...

I just want to know her motivation behind the accusation and how she knows Gabbard is a Russian asset.
This isn't the first person she has accused of being best buds with Putin.

Like I said, cannibalistic. Really, Hillary should just fade into... obscurity. It would be a good thing for her and her husband and their legacy. She is a relic, along with Biden, of a bygone era, before republicans figured out they could simply refuse to work with democrats on anything.

The whole magisteria of democratic politics has come to a rupture point; either they realize this is do or die, or, they will also fade into a true minority.

I keep seeing these statements of ignorance of Tulsi....and then you try to belittle argument of her alignments with Assad with memes of Johnson(!?!).

Do me a favor, if you support her, spell it out.
 
I will again point out that the NEW corporate-fascist Democratic Party is exactly where the Nazi Party in Germany was at in the second half of the 1930s and acting accordingly. Part of this is purging all who are not pure and purely submissive - particularly within the Nazi/Democratic Party. They both also are of the same fixation on hatred of Russia and Russians.

Please, you already know the motivation.

1. Gabbard is being completely marginalized and pushed out by the DNC and the elites.
2. Gabbard leaving the party sets up a dichotomy; Gabbard has a core of supporters that -may not- vote for the dem if they are not Gabbard.
3. Ergo, it sets up another shrill, snide, sneering elitist excuse for why whoever the establishment picks doesn't win in 2020.

They can easily say Gabbard peeled off enough support to cost XYZ candidate the election.

Thus the hubris of her position and her inability to accept her own faults as the reason she lost in 2016.
