(3,333 posts)It's a fact that Gabbard is supported by Russian Twitter bots, that she has nothing but praise for Putin and Assad, and that she's been endorsed by David Duke and Steve Bannon.

Those who think that "we have enough trouble dealing with right wing accusations", would probably be better served if Van Jones stopped rubbing shoulders with the Trump boys and Tulsi stayed off Fox.

Representative Gabbard,
We were very disappointed to hear that you would resign your position with the DNC so you could endorse Bernie Sanders, a man who has never been a Democrat before. When we met over dinner a couple of years ago I was so impressed by your intellect, your passion, and commitment to getting things done on behalf of the American people. For you to endorse a man who has spent almost 40 years in public office with very few accomplishments, doesn't fall in line with what we previously thought of you. Hillary Clinton will be our party's nominee and you standing on ceremony to support the sinking Bernie Sanders ship is disrespectful to Hillary Clinton. A woman who has spent the vast majority of her life in public service and working on behalf of women, families, and the underserved.
You have called both myself and Michael Kives before about helping your campaign raise money, we no longer trust your judgement so will not be raising money for your campaign.

(11,990 posts)I will say that Feb 29 was a little early to declare "Hillary Clinton will be our party's nominee." So clearly, whoever they are, they are writing from their own biased perspective.

(18,275 posts)and both had worked for and with Bill and Hillary Clinton in the past. Their email to Gabbard informing her that they were no longer willing to represent her was released by Wikileaks in the October 2016 dump.
I wonder why Wikileaks sought to weaponize an email to Gabbard right before the 2016 election?
I also wonder why Gabbard is such a staunch defender of Wikileaks and Assange? Isn't she aware of who they were working for in 2016?

As for her part, Gabbard certainly has her talking points down pat.

(11,990 posts)I don't think it's surprising that the Clinton camp was unhappy about Gabbard's leaving her DNC position to support Sanders. And that's certainly not an unbiased perspective.

Reliance on the gossip gleaned from personal emails stolen by pro-Russia agents, funneled through Wikileaks, and amplified ad infinitum by outlets like The Daily Caller is ill-advised.

Do you have a source for that claim? Is that something Tulsi told Tucker?

(18,275 posts)You're quoting an email stolen from two executives at a private agency and then leaked by Russian operatives as an October surprise to help elect Trump. What does that have to do with the DNC?
Besides, you claimed that Secretary Clinton took it "very personally", not the DNC.

(5,969 posts)Is that really how the "cool" candidates try to win over voters? Us against the establishmenht? It has become such a boring buzzword and excuse for bad poll numbers.
I know Bernie and Trump used that in 2016 but it's just stupid and poisons the atmosphere.
