Van Jones: Clinton Smeared Gabbard ‘With No Facts’
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | October 18, 2019 | Nic Rowan

Posted on 10/20/2019 8:51:59 AM PDT by Kaslin

Former Obama administration adviser Van Jones accused Hillary Clinton of smearing presidential hopeful Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D., Hawaii) "with no facts."

Clinton accused Gabbard, an Iraq War veteran, of acting as a "Russian asset" on Friday. Jones dismissed Clinton's criticism as a "complete smear" that spread "disinformation."

"She's playing a very dangerous game," he told CNN. "Hillary Clinton, if you're concerned about disinformation, what the Russians do is they spread disinformation, they get us divided against each other. That is what just happened, just throw out some information, disinformation, smear somebody."

The failed 2016 Democratic nominee accused Gabbard and 2016 candidate Jill Stein of working with the Russians to get President Donald Trump reelected in 2020. Jones said Clinton is likely speaking out against Gabbard because the congresswoman broke with Democratic leadership in the 2016 election and endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) over Clinton.

"It's been payback hell ever since," Jones said.

Does this mean what some of us have suspected over the years, that Obama doesn’t really like Cankles all that much?

Maybe she is a Communist if Van Jones is supportive of her?

Facts are irrelevant when ‘scorched earth’ and ‘politics of personal destruction’ are used.

This is simply Hillary who has become a hideous, ugly old hag being jealous of a much more attractive younger lefty woman.

That’s rich coming from him. Hillary, Van Jones, and pretty much every lib pol and newsie in the nation have been similarly smearing Trump without a shred of evidence for over three years now.

If she threw all in for Sanders a few years ago, I’d say she’s a close to commie as they come.

Van Jones may be a Leftist tool, but (unlike most Leftist tools) he says some smart things.

Well, this guy would be an expert on smearing people without any facts...Mr. “white lash” himself who believes the same people who voted for Tim Scott, Marco Rubio, etc. were acting as white supremacists when they also voted for Donald Trump.

It looks like Obama and Holder are backing Tulsi.
Interesting....
Anything to get Holder on the Supreme Court I suppose

She doesn’t seem like a Democrat. I don’t mean her attractive looks - she doesn’t have a scowl on her face like she’s a miserable / angry at the whole world person and doesn’t come across as ugly when she interacts with other people.

Tulsi had better hope that getting smeared is the worst thing that HC ends up doing to her.

Yes, where is the liberal “without evidence” tag on this reporting.

It is SOP for Clinton. Clinton smeared President Trump for years with zero facts but commie buttboy won’t mention that.
