Bernie Sanders defends Tulsi Gabbard: ‘Outrageous’ to suggest she is a foreign asset
KVOR-FM ^ | October 22, 2019 | CNN

Posted on 10/22/2019 2:02:29 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday defended his fellow 2020 hopeful Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii against the claim that she is a “Russian asset,” saying the suggestion is “outrageous.” “Tulsi Gabbard has put her life on the line to defend this country,” the Vermont independent tweeted. “People can disagree on issues, but it is outrageous for anyone to suggest that Tulsi is a foreign asset.”

Sanders does not name Hillary Clinton in the tweet, but his comments appear to be aimed at the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, whose claim last week on a podcast with former Obama adviser David Plouffe that the Russians are “grooming” a Democrat in the 2020 presidential primary to run as a third-party candidate and champion their interests has caused a backlash. Clinton also accused 2016 Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein of being a “Russian asset.”

Clinton’s team on Monday declined to comment to CNN about Sanders’ tweet.

Hillary’s thinking, “that’s the last time I buy someone a house”.

What is crazy is that Bernie spent his honeymoon in the USSR and has been a life long supporter of the socialist-communist movement. If anyone has the potential to be a “Russian agent” it would be Mr. Sanders. [Please note: I wrote “potential” - I’m not claiming he is.] It would make more sense if Hillary directed her barbs towards him.

Bernie knows all the Communist agents, and Tulsi ain’t one of them

The way the den candidates are acting, I’m stunned they all aren’t foreign assets. What they are campaigning on will be more damaging to the country than an invasion by Russia and China combined.

Each of them are foreign assets of globalism.

Would have been nice if all our elected Republicans in DC had defended Trump against Russian agent charges starting in 2016.

Republicans probably just as desirous of destroying Trump as Democrats/media. It’s sure starting to look like it.
