| Subject: Tulsi Gabbard Confronts The View Hosts: 'You Continue to Spread These Innuendos That Have Nothing To Do With Who I Am' Thu Nov 07, 2019 12:53 am | |
| Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard confronted the hosts of ABC's The View on Wednesday, pushing back against criticism suggesting she is a "Russian asset" and has been supported by far-right leaders.
Gabbard, a veteran of the Iraq War who continues to serve in the National Guard, has faced significant backlash from some Democrats, who have accused her of repeating Russian talking points about U.S. foreign policy. Former Democratic presidential candidate and Secretary of State during the Obama administration Hillary Clinton suggested last month that a current Democratic candidate is "the favorite of the Russians." The congresswoman issued a series of scathing attacks on Clinton in response, calling her the "queen of warmongers." "Some of you have accused me of being a traitor to my country, a Russian asset, a Trojan horse or a useful idiot was the term I think you used," Gabbard told the day-time talk show's panel of hosts on Wednesday. "Which basically means that I'm naive or lack intelligence to know what's going on. I want to let your viewers know exactly who I am, set the record straight," she said with a smile. Throughout Gabbard's comments, co-host Joy Behar kept attempting to interject, and talk over the congresswoman, but allowed her to continue, saying "all right." - Quote :
