Chelsea Manning tweeted Monday that she previously "took up an opportunity" to gather intelligence on fascists and the so-called alt-right without elaborating further, adding that she is running for the U.S. Senate in Maryland because the "world should be better for everyone."
Manning—who earlier this month announced her bid to challenge Sen. Ben Cardin (D., Md.), the ranking member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in the Democratic primary this June—wrote on Twitter that fascists and the alt-right "peddle" a threatening ideology and do not deserve a platform. She added that she has gathered intelligence on them, without explaining how or when she went about it.

It is unclear if Manning, a former Army intelligence analyst, was referring to her intelligence work in Iraq as the "opportunity" to gather information on the alt-right.
Manning in 2013 was convicted of leaking hundreds of thousands of classified U.S. documents to WikiLeaks and sentenced to 35 years in prison. She was released in 2017 after then-President Barack Obama commuted her prison sentence.
Recently, Manning, a transgender woman, has castigated congressional Democrats for not bringing about change in Washington, D.C. Last week, she released her first campaign video in which she blasts Democratic Party leaders for not standing up to President Donald Trump.
HE
His death is in order
Got Messiah Complex?
God knows that poor deluded soul could use a little intelligence, but I don’t think this sort of intelligence will help him.
He’s a traitor with lipstick....nothing more.
It will win too. Watch.
Can’t they find something else to charge he/she/it with that wasn’t covered in the pardon? Certainly they missed something in the original indictment...
Bradley Manning “aka Chelsea Manning,” you’re a FREAK SHOW, go home...
How can He/she/it run for election? I would expect He/she/it to be caring bad paper, DD, Felony or something that would prohibit running for election. Did Barry whitewash the records like Jimmy carter did for John Hanoi Kerry?
Translation: A dude in a dress.
The FACT that the headline misspelled “He” tells me everything I DON’T need to read in this propaganda piece.
Thanks, but I’ll pass!
Repent, Bradley. Your perversion isn’t making the world better for anyone.
How and why did this deranged leftist get a high-level security clearance?
“...How and why did this deranged leftist get a high-level security clearance?...”
Simple. Odongo. Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy.
The central counties of Maryland are the perfect home for this little queer.
I hope he wins the primary. Maryland needs to come face-to-face with their conflicted ideology.
The insane looking to represent the insane.
What could possible go wrong?
The dude belongs in an insane asylum rather than the senate . . . wait, never mind. OTOH, it might be interesting if our female senators enjoy sharing their bathroom with him.
Was he/she pardoned? the article says commuted. Wouldn’t that mean he/she is still a convicted felon?
Domestic enemy, I don’t know about you, but I swore an oath against those types.
This guy is a sick twisted freak, but he’s only one of many.
