Tulsi Gabbard Demands Clinton Retract 'Defamatory' Russia Smear

[Swordsmyth]

Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) on Monday demanded that Hillary Clinton retract 'defamatory' comments alleging that the 2020 presidential candidate is a favorite of the Russians, according to The Hill.

"Your statement is defamatory, and we demand that you retract it immediately," wrote Gabbard's attorneys in a letter, demanding that Clinton do so both verbally and via Twitter.
Last month Clinton peddled the conspiracy theory that Gabbard is being 'groomed' to split the Democratic party as a third party candidate, and that she's the Kremlin's top pick in 2020.
Speaking with former Obama 2008 campaign manager David Plouffe on his podcast, "Campaign HQ with David Plouffe," Clinton said - without mentioning Gabbard by name: "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."
Of course, that's "assuming Jill Stein will give it up - because she's also a Russian asset," Clinton continued.



"It appears you may now be claiming that this statement is about Republicans (not Russians) grooming Gabbard," Gabbard's lawyer wrote in the letter. "But this makes no sense in light of what you actually said. After you made the statement linking Congresswoman Gabbard to the Russians, you (through your spokesman) doubled down on it with the Russian nesting dolls remark," referring to comments by Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill.

Gabbard has repeatedly denied that she will run in a third party bid for the White House.

Thanks for posting this, this news should provide media scrutiny and help get to bottom of things.

Media 'clarification' on this few days ago (Turns out Hillary Clinton said Republicans — not Russians — were grooming Tulsi Gabbard) raised more questions than it answered.


Also, Tulsi will need powerful allies to take on Clintons with powerful/rich friends like Saudis and other, she cannot fake on notorious Clinton machine alone.

Perhaps she should consider apologizing or at least regretting her recent insults of sitting MAGA POTUS also. He had offered legal help for counter-punchers at his rallies allegedly, this could be a much more costly legal fight.

Well, what do you know? Here's zerohedge making the exact same nonsensical, out of the blue comment about Gabbard the MSM was constantly throwing on Ron Paul for no reason.

Amazing how much ZH acts like the rest of the MSM.

Gabbard has denied it multiple times and Clinton was trying to imply that she would.

Hillary Clinton isn't exactly the type of person that apologize. She's more the type of person that would kill you if you dare cross her.

The sound byte I heard, she said "Russians". It was video of Tulsi on The View, and one of the squawking hens played the byte.

Clinton not in politics. If it is slander than sue her. Freedom of speech. In my opinion, Clinton is entitled to her worthless opinion and can say whatever she wants.
