Put Up or Shut Up on These Accusations, Hillary

National Review

In Gabbard’s worldview, the preeminent priority of the United States is avoiding terror attacks and avoiding getting sucked into wars triggered by terror attacks. While she rarely says so explicitly, her experience suggests she sees the the best option to pursue this difficult goal is to reach deals with the brutal but non-Islamist dictators and monarchs who will keep order. Assad, King Abdullah, the Saudis — in the end, as long as they keep their extremist lunatics from blowing up Americans, we should give them a handshake and let them rule as they see fit.

"Look, one 2016 candidate being prone to wild and baseless accusations is enough. Appearing on Obama campaign manager David Plouffe’s podcast, Hillary Clinton suggested that 2016 Green Party candidate Jill Stein was a “Russian asset,” that Republicans and Russians were promoting the Green Party, and insinuated that Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard was some sort of tool of the Russian government.

“ 'They’ve got their eye on someone who’s currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate,” Clinton said on the podcast. “She’s the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far.”

"This is bonkers. You don’t have to look at Tulsi Gabbard’s record on foreign policy for long to find areas for fair criticism, perhaps most infamously her meeting with Bashar al-Assad at the height of the Syrian Civil War, and exhibiting a strange reluctance to criticize the dictator upon her return to the United States. She’s still not willing to say she thinks Assad is a war criminal.

"Gabbard’s foreign policy views may well be wrongheaded ones. But she’s direct and honest about them, and it’s highly unlikely that she’s been bribed, brainwashed or coerced into these positions." . . .

If only Ms. Gabbard would stop using the term "warmonger" against the US. In my day we were called that word by the propaganda of Iron Curtain leaders who wanted to control America.

Gabbard Responds to Hillary’s Russia Attacks, Challenges Her to Join Dem Primary

. . . "The staunchly non-interventionist Gabbard has been consistently dogged by suggestions that her campaign panders to the alt-right and Russia. During Tuesday night’s Democratic debate, she accused CNN and the New York Times, who were co-hosting the event, of smearing her with “completely despicable coverage.”

Explaining Hillary Clinton's feud with Tulsi Gabbard  . . . "So why is Hillary so focused on Gabbard?  During the 2016 Democratic primaries, the party had rigged the process against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).  It was clearly Hillary's effort to ensure her nomination.  Tulsi Gabbard found this unacceptable and supported Sanders after resigning her high-level position within the party.  Clinton carries her grudges, and this is payback. " . . .

Hillary is loved by Colbert and his audience Perhaps with the help of the studio "Applause" sign, if they have one?

"Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton got a rousing ovation on Monday's Late Show. "These are people who are big fans of the alternate timeline we're not living in," Stephen Colbert explained to Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea. He quickly got down to business. "We learned about the Trump-Ukraine call, the private server — is it time to, dare I say, lock him up?" he asked mischievously. "What do you make of it?"

" 'We have started an impeachment inquiry, which will look at the evidence, and I think that's exactly what should be done," Clinton said." . . .
