‘You’re not helping’: Not everyone’s thrilled with Bernie Sanders for defending Tulsi Gabbard from suggestions that she’s a Russian asset

Tulsi Gabbard’s not getting a whole lot of support from prominent Democrats after getting baselessly smeared by Hillary Clinton as a Russian asset.

brave words from the guy who declined to defend a fellow 2020 vet after she was accused, without evidence, of being a Russian agent and a traitor. https://twitter.com/PeteButtigieg/status/1186394597427204097 …

This commander in chief is robbing our troops of their honor. If you take away a soldier’s honor, you might as well take away their armor next. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-syria-security-usa-military/us-soldiers-who-fought-alongside-kurds-blast-trumps-syria-retreat-idUSKBN1X00ZO …

Tulsi Gabbard has put her life on the line to defend this country. People can disagree on issues, but it is outrageous for anyone to suggest that Tulsi is a foreign asset.

We don’t say this often, but good on Bernie Sanders. We don’t have to agree with Tulsi Gabbard’s politics to see that Hillary Clinton acted despicably.
