      1. This "Tulsi Gabbard is being groomed to be a Russian asset" thing is another depressing example of how a subset of centrists & liberals have allowed CIA cosplaying to replace the actual work of politics.

      2. Part of the problem is the term "asset" is deliberately vague, covering both those actively being compromised by foreign powers & those promoted by foreign power (which is not something can control). This was the logic FBI used to spy on antiwar movement.

      3. Let's see how the logic plays out. a) main evidence Gabbard is Russian asset is Russian bots promote her b) Gabbard gained 50,000 followers after Clinton attack c) so is Clinton a Gabbard asset (and by extension a Russian asset)?

      4. Which is not to defend Gabbard's politics. She's an Islamophobic ultra nationalist who wants "war on terror" to be fought with drones & commandos. But that's congruent enough with centrism that she doesn't get attacked on it.

      Wow, I don't know any other virulent Islamophobes who get invited to keynote Muslim conferences. Amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1I7MLHS480 …

      Google "Trump" and "Mohammed bin Salman" and you can see photos of an Islamophobe palling around with a Muslim leader.

          Let me know when Trump delivers a keynote address at a "Muslims for Peace" conference to commemorate Prophet Muhammad Day. Your allegation is disgusting and baseless.

          The support of Modi and BJP seems pretty nasty in that regard.

          Anytime someone tells you to Google something, their argument is weak as balls.

          You have an election today in Canada. Why don’t you go do something constructive and go canvas for Jagmeet Singh rather than critique the most vocal opponent of US foreign policy? Just an idea

          Yes, one of the only members of Congress to vehemently stand up for @IlhanMN is an Islamaphobe. 🙄 Do you all really have no shame in your smear attempts? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tuKHkHi-w4s …pic.twitter.com/yIBhrwtBjT

          Yes apparently she is going through all this trouble to "trick us." This video is also just part of the show to secretly take out the Muslim community by wait for it...not bombing their countries!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SngrfyVNewo …
