htownbrown Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/18/politics/hillary-clinton-tulsi-gabbard/index.html Hillary Clinton appears to suggest Russians are 'grooming' Tulsi Gabbard for third-party run By Dan Merica, CNN Updated 4:50 PM ET, Fri October 18, 2019 (CNN)Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Thursday the Russians are currently "grooming" a Democrat running in the presidential primary to run as a third-party candidate and champion their interests. The comment appears to be directed at Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who has been accused of being cozy with Russia in the past. "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," Clinton said, speaking on a podcast with former Obama adviser David Plouffe. "She's the favorite of the Russians." Clinton never names Gabbard, but there are only five women running for President -- Gabbard, California Sen. Kamala Harris, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and author Marianne Williamson -- and none of the other woman have been accused of being boosted by Russia. "They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far," Clinton said. Gabbard responded on Twitter Friday afternoon to Clinton's comments. "Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain," she tweeted. "From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a concerted campaign to destroy my reputation," she added. "We wondered who was behind it and why. Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose." "It's now clear that this primary is between you and me. Don't cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly." Responding to Gabbard's attacks, Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said, "Divisive language filled with vitriol and conspiracy theories? Can't imagine a better proof point than this." Asked earlier if the former secretary of state was referring to Gabbard in her comment, Merrill told CNN, "If the nesting doll fits." Gabbard has tried to fight off the charge that she is being pushed by Russian interests. "Just two days ago, the New York Times put out an article saying that I'm a Russian asset and an Assad apologist and all these different smears," Gabbard said, referring to a recent story that said she is being backed by Russians on Twitter. "This morning, a CNN commentator said on national television that I'm an asset of Russia. Completely despicable." Clinton also accused Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate in both the 2012 and 2016 elections, of being a "Russian asset." "That's assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not, because she's also a Russian asset," Clinton said. "Yes, she's a Russian asset, I mean, totally. They know they can't win without a third-party candidate." Stein's campaign, which earned nearly 1.5 million votes in the 2016 election, was part of Russia's meddling efforts, according to a host of congressional reports, including a Senate Intelligence Committee report that indicated Russian social media efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election included messaging in support of Stein. A summation of the report's findings on "comprehensive anti-Hillary Clinton operations" said while the group's assumed Twitter personas had some pro-Clinton content, "the developed Left-wing Twitter personas were still largely anti-Clinton and expressed pro-Bernie Sanders and pro-Jill Stein sentiments." Stein, who had dinner with Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2015, has also compared Russian interference in the 2016 election to American overseas efforts. "I think it would be naive to think that Russia did not try to interfere." But, she said, "Certainly that's what the United States does," though she added, "that's not to justify it." "Interference is wrong and it's an assault against democracy, and it should be pursued, but (the United States) should pursue it knowing that we do it, too." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politico is not known to be any kind of conservative biased org and I don't see her challenging any of the views they state she supports. The only thing that meme was not totally correct about was stating she supported reparations when she states she supports studying about reparations (which is troubling enough).

Ideology and influence In a 2007 opinion piece, progressive watchdog group Media Matters for America accused Politico of having a "Republican tilt." In contrast, in 2011 politically conservative The Daily Caller declaimed Politico as having a pronounced liberal bias." I'm not sure who owns Politico. I got this off Wikipedia...rule of thumb for me if both sides are claiming bias it probably means it is more down the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
