I don't think Hillary should have said that, but I really, REALLY don't like how Gabbard responded to it. She went off on a rant about how the DNC and media are rigging things against her, which is precisely the rhetoric that helped spoil things for Democrats in 2016. And how she's implying that Clinton is using her power and "proxies" to influence the election, and invited her to "join the race directly", which is part of the same paranoia and anti-Clinton derangement that stifled turnout the last time around. It sounds cynically manipulative at best, and unhinged at worst.
Luckily, Gabbard has vehemently denied any plans to run 3rd party.
