Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, harshly condemned former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, for comments she made in recent days about U.S. biological laboratories in Ukraine, Business Insider reported Monday.
"Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda," Romney tweeted. "Her treasonous lies may well cost lives."
Russia has spread a baseless claim the U.S. is funding the development of bioweapons in labs in Ukraine, a move which the U.S. warned could indicate that Moscow is planning to use chemical weapons against Ukraine, according to Business Insider.
In response to Romney's comments, Gabbard on Monday wrote on Twitter: "You have called me a 'treasonous liar' for stating the fact that 'there are 25+ US-funded biolabs in Ukraine which if breached would release & spread deadly pathogens to US/world' and therefore must be secured in order to prevent new pandemics.
"Bizarrely, you claim that securing these labs (or even calling for securing these labs) is treasonous and will lead to a loss of life, when the exact opposite is obviously true. The spread of pathogens is what will cause the loss of life, not the prevention of such spread."
Gabbard took another swipe at Romney, requesting he "please provide evidence that what I said is untrue and treasonous. If you cannot, you should do the honorable thing: apologize and resign from the Senate."

That’s the truth.
No, but she hit back. That’s good.
A US Senator publicly accusing a private citizen of treason for exercising free speech is a serious matter. Like her or not, Gabbard is not a traitor. Mitt Romney is an authoritarian who wants to steamroller free speech. He should go, there is no place in a representative republic for such a man. I’ve said similar about many democrats, there are plenty of republicans who are just as dishonorable and irreputable and Romney is at the top of the list.
NowI am really rooting for him to kick off and go to Kolob.
Like AOC said Mitt wants to date Tulsi.
“Russia has spread a baseless claim the U.S. is funding the development of bioweapons in labs in Ukraine,”
Both of them are proof of the uniparty. They are both horrible people and horrible leaders.
I know a lot of Mormons, gen X and millennials. They do not like Romney and would not vote for him.
Yet another form of identity politics.
or that matter what family member/associates of a lot of public figures aree laaundering money or doing other less the noble activities on other foreign countries?
I just realized last night that Putin knows EXACTLY who is running our government.
And that's who he is playing against.
We sit around speculating about who is pulling the strings of Puppet 1 and Puppet 2 - but Vlad KNOWS.
Think about that for a while.
Yes but I still don’t trust her.
I no longer believe that. One of the worst things Obama came up with was Obamacare, which was based on Willard's Romneycare in Massachusetts. Also, whatever Obama is, he is loyal to his party and constituents. Romney is like Benedict Arnold or Judas and stabs his own party in the back whenever he gets the chance.
Would you call a male Iraq/Kuwait National Guard veteran a "little boy"?
As I’ve paid any attention to her at all these last few years, she seems to be trending right.
Maybe she’ll pull a Reagan and come to her senses.
Move to Utah, Tulsi.
I’m just curious. While I agree with you totally that we need to rid the GOP of RINOs, the RINOs seem to be here to stay. So my question is, since I think it highly likely, a RINO is the GOP nominee, i.e., Pence, Jeb, Mittens, etc., will you just hold your nose and vote for the lesser of the 2 evils?
