You have to admit Democrats are good at staying on message.
They dream up a crazy talking point and stick with it.
But Americans are scratching their heads after Hillary Clinton and Joy Behar of The View declare that Tulsi Gabbard is a “Russian agent.”
Back when President-elect Donald Trump started building momentum in his first Presidential run, Democrats started their sneaky attack by claiming he “colluded with Russia.”
The rumor then, as now for Director of National Intelligence nominee Tulsi Gabbard, was baseless and totally unsubstantiated.
The former Democrat Congresswoman turned America First freedom fighter is essentially accused of committing treason.
Or at least being a useful idiot.
Gabbard is not only a former Congresswoman but an active duty Lt. Col. in the U.S. Army Reserve with deployments to Iraq.
She received both a Meritorious Service Medal and a Combat Medical Badge. Gabbard was assigned to the Army Reserve’s Psychological Operations Command.
But Gabbard stood strong and didn’t shy away from Russia accusations; in fact, she firmly pushed back in an interview with The View.

The former Congresswoman sitting next to Joy Behar said, “You referred to me as a useful idiot, I think that’s the term you used. That basically means I am naive or lack intelligence.”
On the show they played a clip of two-time failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton referencing Gabbard this way.
“I’m not making any predictions, but I think they have their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democrat primary and are grooming her to be a third-party candidate,” Clinton claimed. “She’s a favorite of the Russians.”
But Clinton didn’t stop there, also accusing Jill Stein, a longtime Green Party Presidential candidate, of being a “Russian asset.”
To Gabbard’s credit, she kept her cool but also stood up for herself.
“This is outrageous and offensive on so many levels,” Gabbard said. “It’s offensive to me as a soldier, as an American, as a Member of Congress, as a veteran and frankly as a woman to be so demeaned.”
But Clinton isn’t interested in the truth, only giving herself more power and she doesn’t hesitate to make something up to further that goal.
And Gabbard has been a threat to the Democrat establishment for a while now.
Gabbard almost single-handedly knocked out Kamala Harris from the 2020 Democrat Presidential primary, and she didn’t hold back on the Clinton war machine.
Clinton lobbing “Russian asset” charges didn’t help her defeat Donald Trump in 2016, but it was an effective distraction.
The Deep State piggy-backed off that falsity to create a narrative using the Clinton campaign financed Steele dossier, where they paid a foreign intelligence operative to write up a memo asserting links between Trump and Russia.
According to a CNN article, “The dossier was compiled by retired British spy Christopher Steele. It contained unverified and salacious allegations about Donald Trump, including claims that his campaign colluded with the Kremlin to win the 2016 election. The money trail behind the Steele dossier has been a subject of intense political scrutiny for years. More than $1 million flowed from the Clinton campaign and DNC to the law firm Perkins Coie, which then hired the opposition research company Fusion GPS. That company later hired Steele and asked him to use his overseas contacts to dig up dirt about Trump’s ties to Russia.”
Years later the DNC and Clinton campaign agreed to pay some hefty fines for campaign finance complaints, but both refused to admit any wrongdoing.
Steele maintained that the dossier wasn’t intended to be published, but then again, you’re talking about trusting a spy.
Democrats in Congress then used the dossier as evidence and got the FBI to launch an investigation into whether Donald Trump was “colluding” with Russia, even though colluding with Russia isn’t a crime.
Of course it was all a setup, so when Trump expressed skepticism on a phone call about happenings in Ukraine, he was targeted by the Deep State as a traitor, and Democrats used that to start impeachment proceedings against him.
But eventually the truth won out, and Trump was cleared by former FBI Director Robert Mueller, and Trump was able to overcome all odds and crush the Democrats in 2024.
Hopefully, Gabbard will be vindicated as she takes her new position as head of DNI.
