Once again, far-left Democrats are slandering President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, as a Russian agent.
When Gabbard briefly ran for president as a Democrat in 2020, she was vilified by Hillary Clinton.
This time, the liars are Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida.
Reason for the defamation: Ms. Gabbard supports a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine war, as opposed to further U.S. intervention that risks all-out nuclear war.
“In Putin's Pocket”
As The Washington Post reported, Warren's vile slur stems from Gabbard's past comments about the Russia-Ukraine war.
“Hours after the invasion began on February 24, 2022,” the Post noted, Gabbard explained why Russia invaded Ukraine:
This war and suffering could easily have been avoided if the Biden administration/NATO had simply acknowledged Russia's legitimate security concerns regarding Ukraine's membership in NATO, and therefore the access of US/NATO forces to Russia's borders. It should have been.
“It is strategically impossible to think that Ukraine will beat Russia,” she told neoconservative armchair warrior Sean Hannity on his Fox talk show.
To make matters worse, Gabbard cited allegations that “more than 25 U.S.-funded 'biolabs' exist in Ukraine that, if compromised, could release and spread deadly pathogens.” He insisted. This claim was denied by US officials several days ago. Russian officials,” the newspaper continued.
The United States did indeed sign a contract to build at least one biolab in Ukraine, as the New American reported that same year.
Gabbard is likely “friendly to Moscow” because she opposes U.S. involvement in Ukraine, the paper said.
Analysts dispute the idea that NATO membership forced Russia to invade, noting that Finland and Sweden have since joined the Western military alliance without facing similar attacks from Russia. Similarly, fact-checkers said the Ukrainian “BioLab” claim was false and was initially spread by anonymous social media accounts. …
But in these and other cases, the views presented by Gabbard mirrored those presented by the Kremlin and its agents.
Even if true, Gabbard's statements do not make her a Russian agent, as Warren suggested.
“Do we really want her to know all the secrets of the United States and our defense intelligence community when it's so obvious that she's in President Putin's pocket?” Warren said on CNN.
This morning, Wasserman Schultz repeated his lies and did everything but call Gabbard a paid Russian agent.
“According to most estimates, she is essentially considered to be a Russian asset,” the far-left lawmaker said.
There's no question. I believe that she is probably a key figure in Russia, and as the DNI, who is responsible for managing our entire intelligence community, she holds all of our most important intelligence information and secrets, and is essentially someone who has direct links to our adversaries. I think there is.
4 year smear
Haight Gabbard's Deep Staters have been pushing crazy conspiracy theories for years.
When Gabbard ran for the Democratic nomination in 2020, her 2016 presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, smeared the military officer.
Clinton speculated about third-party efforts, saying, “They're looking at someone who's currently in the Democratic primary and trying to develop her into a third-party candidate.” Ta.
“She's a favorite of the Russians,” Clinton said, including candidate Jill Stein in the category of Russian assets.
They have lots of sites and bots and other ways to support her so far, but that's assuming Jill Stein gives it up, but she's also a Russian asset. Therefore, this may not be the case. Yes, she is a Russian asset. I mean completely.
In 2022, when Gabbard said the U.S. had set up biolabs across Ukraine, defeated presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) accused her of treason.
“Tulsi Gabbard is parroting Russian fake propaganda,” he tweeted. “Her treasonous lies could cost lives.”
It was unclear how exactly Gabbard committed treason.
The real reason they hate Gabbard
Of course, neither Fake Warren nor Wasserman Schultz, nor anyone else, believes that Gabbard is a Russian agent or Russian operative.
They want to oust her because she opposes America's senseless foreign intervention, and they said so when they ousted lightweight presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Gabbard said a deep state cabal of unelected bureaucrats runs U.S. foreign and military policy.
“Our foreign policy decisions are made by the unelected members of the military-industrial complex, who benefit from our nation's continued state of war, and whose national security has more power to undermine our liberties and liberties when our country is at war,” she said.
Kamala Harris does not have the power to stand up to the military-industrial complex and the national security state. Therefore, she will continue to be a public figure, just as Joe Biden has been. And…this is where there is a clear choice in this election. Donald Trump is strong. He will assume command as supreme commander. He will stand up to the military-industrial complex and the national security state. He will prevent us from getting into unnecessary wars and make decisions that are actually in the best interest of the American people and our own safety.
After a brutal assessment of Harris' abilities, the Biden administration placed Gabbard under surveillance by federal marshals when she traveled.
