So, Hillary Clinton said that a certain candidate, clearly Tulsi Gabbard, is being supported by the Russians, who want her to run as an independent spoiler candidate (surely to help Trump win). Tulsi replied by going on a rant about how awful Hillary is, while Russian state TV apparently responded with a half hour program supporting Tulsi and bashing Clinton, both of which kind of prove her point -- yeah, Russia apparently does like Tulsi Gabbard. It makes sense, given her history of saying how much she supports Bashar al Assad and opposing American military interventions (but being totally fine with lots and lots of us bombing foreign countries).
But for some reason, a bunch of other Democratic candidates are also saying how Tulsi isn't a Russian asset -- Butigieg, Yang, now Bernie... why? Even if she isn't a knowing Russian supporter she is definitely being backed by them and doesn't seem to mind it, and has a whole lot of horrible views as well. So why go out there and support here, when all it does is make you look really bad when you read up on the details of all of it? Very disappointing from all of them.
