On Morning Joe, Ex-Hillary Adviser Defends Russian-Asset Attack On Tulsi Gabbard

Looks like Hillary Clinton has an asset deep within the bowels of MSNBC. On Morning Joe, former Hillary campaign aide Adrienne Elrod, now an MSNBC contributor, vigorously defended Hillary's attack on Tulsi Gabbard, in which the failed 2016 presidential candidate alleged that the Russians were "grooming" Gabbard to be a third-party candidate.

There's no doubt there would be a widespread liberal-media freakout if Gabbard ever did that. Or Michael Bloomberg, or anyone else with any cachet.

Elrod claimed that Hillary is "giving a very valid, very important warning,"and went on to assert:

"The Russia propaganda machine has been propelling her, lifting her up since she announced her candidacy. We also know that there are pro-Putin donors here in the United States, American donors who have been giving to her campaign."

Hillary has an asset at MSNBC who is pushing her Russia-conspiracy theory about Tulsi Gabbard.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

That’s pretty funny.
Hillary is the one who took that silly reset button to Moscow.
She’s the one who sold 20% of US uranium to Russia.
Obama was the one caught on a hot mike telling Medvedev that he would have more flexibility after his election.

Hillary is a delusional alcoholic. Like most alcoholics she has enablers who have their own psychiatric problems.

This could be a coordinated effort between Hillary and Gabbard. Don’t think for a second Tulsi Gabbard isn’t any less devious and conniving as the rest of the RATs. Maybe Hillary senses that Gabbard could be the dark horse candidate to break out in Iowa and New Hampshire and she’s trying to take her down, or it could be Hillary is finally losing her marbles! It could be any and everything when the Clintons are involved.

Hillary’s “team” probably had Russian “assets” give money to Tulsi’s campaign so they can be “outed” later.

Welcome to the Swamp!

it was Hillary’s old man who got a $500,000 payoff in Russia a few weeks after she sold our uranium off to Putin and no telling how many tens of millions of dollars to her foundation from Putin backed Russian entities over the years

Exactly. If Andrew Yang or Tom Steyer start gaining traction then you can expect them to be attacked as Russian “assets” too. This is Hillary’s last shot at the presidency. She’ll pull out all the stops and destroy everybody that gets in her way. It will be interesting to see what Team Obama does in response because there is no way they will allow the Clintonistas to one up them to regain the presidency.

The odds that Hillary planned to receive the worst public bitch smack in history for Tulsi is asymptotic to zero.

Well, the Russians paid Gabbard’s husband $750,000 to croak out a 30 minute speech in Moscow; she took million$ in Russkii cash via her self-serving “Foundation”; she sold her office, approving pro-Russian deals that compromised US national security; and she paid Russian spies for false dirt on her opponent. What’s that? HILLARY did all that, NOT Tulsi Gabbard? Then nevermind.

In the segment, the embedded Hillary spokeswomyn says that Trump can only win via a third party candidate or “suppressing” the Dem vote. In a nutshell (pun intended), the Russians have caused the Dems to put up pathetic candidates to suppress the Dem vote, and attract a third party candidacy because their electorate is so dissatisfied.

Certainly that coordinated effort - if true - is working on old geezer freepers who think Gabbard is hot as well as conservative! They’re close to throwing Trump overboard.

How does this help Hillary:

Puts Hillary’s name front and center.
Revives press interest in a failed candidate.
(Don’t care what you say just spell my name right)
Brings up Russia - a reminder Hillary thinks that’s why she lost.
A warning that ‘pro-Putin’ donors exist AND they’re being watched. (Hillary’s still “in” the intelligence loop.)

How does this help Tulsi Gabbard:

Puts Gabbard’s name name front and center.
Revives press interest in very minor candidate.
(Don’t care what you say just spell my name right)
Brings up Russia - adds an air of mystery.
Tells progressives Gabbard is NOT part of the Establishment... and might be a better choice.


The ladies doth protest too much, methinks

kinda strange that H! is attacking Tulsi, when it shouldn’t take Sherlock to see that more than one Dem candidate are favorites of Russia. Comrade Bernie being the most obvious, along with the other admitted ‘socialist democrats’.
