I cannot believe Hillary Clinton unlike President Barack Obama has involved herself in the Democratic Primary race with such a vile attack on Tulsi Gabbard. I cannot believe she does not know that her attack will destroy much of what those of us who have been working to unite those who unknowingly supported a corrosive Neo-Liberalism versus true Progressiveness, are attempting to accomplish.
But there is an Establishment method to the madness. Suffice it to say it likely has to do with the decline of Joe Biden which was inevitable and the ascent of Elizabeth Warren with Bernie Sanders still very viable. The facade of many in the party’s leadership is peeling off. My hope is that the rank & file, the everyday Democrat, Independent, and thinking Republican will see the truth and coalesce appropriately to a Progressive candidate solely concerned with the well-being of the poor and middle-class.
So what did Hillary Clinton say?
“They’re also going to do third-party again,” Hillary Clinton said. “And I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who is 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.”
Tulsi Gabbard responded with an appropriately harsh tweet.
Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a concerted campaign to destroy my reputation. We wondered who was behind it and why. Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose. It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me. Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly.
Hillary Clinton should know better. She was falsely accused of doing something wrong with White Water, Benghazi, Vince Foster, Travelgate, Pizzagate, and much more. If she had any modicum of empathy she would be more circumspect.
Tulsi Gabbard served our country in Iraq as a medic. Even as a member of Congres she still serves in the National Guard.
I am not a Tulsi Gabbard supporter. I am partial to Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. But just like I was not a supporter of Hillary Clinton but came to her defense when unjustly maligned, I feel a responsibility to use my platform to do the same for Tulsi.
PS: I may add more to this later but my eyes are closing. 5-days of 3.5 hrs sleep taking a toll :).

Clinton called out Trump and his ties to the Russians long before anyone else did. Perhaps we should take this warning as seriously as we should have taken the one about Trump. I’m not a supporter of Clinton either but Tulsi is using a playbook that goes along with this theory.
Clinton is just rehashing a dishonest playbook that didn’t work in the last election either… We have no need for these pretensions. The truth will always out. #ALOHA2020
Two lies don’t make a truth, LOL. I hate Trump and he is guilty of many crimes but Hillary also perpetuated the Russiagate McCarthyism to deflect from the emails that had come out written by her and Podesta. The Neoliberal sheep were so easily distracted form the rigging and corrupt if not illegal things mentioned in those emails. Everybody was at fault except for the people who actually wrote and did the things in THEIR OWN emails. Way to be brainwashed.
“he was falsely accused of doing something wrong with White Water, Benghazi, Vince Foster, Travelgate, Pizzagate,”
Oh really, that was all false. Imagine the level of entitlement of Ms Clinton that she seems to believe she ‘deserves’ to be a president, and will use her media cabal to accuse anyone who wants to stop destablizing the middle east as an agent of Russia.
NO fan of TRUMP but Occam’s razor MUST apply for rational thought to function, Karla ! This is the same flavor of mud that was slung at Trump and I hope this gives a lot of people pause to consider also what has been going on in the media for three years.
I completely missed the “FACT BASED” portion of this article. Oh, that the Russians will play the 3rd party trick again – and Gabbard might be part of it????? What Bullshit….who wrote this? Putin?
Bwa ha ha ha ha ! Or should I say Baa Baa Baa, LOL?
We should demand that our candidates denounce the SOS (not just secy of state anymore) Clinton’s attacks, and call for the firing of her MSM lackeys, CNN’s Baraki Sellers, MSNBC’s Joy Reid and others whose names I don’t recall. Everyone not denouncing these despicable attacks is complicit in their silence… and that can include U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders.
Please insert commas for clarity. I had to go back and reread several segments to be sure I knew what was intended.
I am really concerned by Hillary’s comment. Hillary is clearly either insane or criminally dishonest, and she was the nominee for President of my party. This reflects badly on the party and the country, as well as having no practical effect other than to call all concerns democrats have raised regarding Trump’s honesty or patriotism into question. That Hillary fled an event headlined by Gabbard soon after tends to confirm the questions regarding Hillary and the DNCV and even their media pets.
Wrongly accused? LOL. But since she manufactured this about Tulsi she knows it’s a lie.
please don’t assume hillary was wrong about tulsi; we don’t know yet
