NBC News Claims Russia Supports Tulsi Gabbard, Firm Caught Fabricating Russia Data for Dems
TheIntercept ^ | 2-3-2019 | Glenn Greewald

Posted on 02/03/2019 9:34:34 AM PST by tcrlaf

NBC NEWS PUBLISHED a predictably viral story Friday, claiming that “experts who track websites and social media linked to Russia have seen stirrings of a possible campaign of support for Hawaii Democrat Tulsi Gabbard.”

But the whole story was a sham: the only “experts” cited by NBC in support of its key claim was the firm, New Knowledge, that just got caught by the New York Times fabricating Russian troll accounts on behalf of the Democratic Party in the Alabama Senate race to manufacture false accusations that the Kremlin was interfering in that election.

> Why is Gabbard such a threat to the Soros Left? <

Gabbard is a Leftist. But in her own way, she seems to be a patriot. Maybe that has something to do with it. From Wikipedia:

In July 2004, Gabbard asked to deploy with her Hawaii Army National Guard unit, volunteering for a 12-month tour in Iraq, where she served in a field medical unit as a specialist in a combat zone with the 29th Support Battalion medical company. She learned that she would not be able to serve with her unit and perform her duties as a legislator, and thus chose not to campaign for a second term in office.

Gabbard a confused American socialist, straight from central casting. Nationalized health, being against abortion before she was for it, big government solutions to everything. She is a flower-child.

But she has pissed off the deep state by keeping traditional leftist views on fewer wars abroad, calling out the nonsense in Syria, and also - talking tough against Wall Street.

“We must stand against powerful politicians from both parties who sit in ivory towers thinking up new wars to wage & new places for people to die. Wasting trillions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of lives, undermining our economy and security, and destroying our middle class.”
-Tulsi Gabbard

*** She is a flower-child. ***

I believe she is one of the few, if not the only who called out her peers for their religious bigotry against Catholics.

Complete fiction - as usual. Russia wants us at each otehr’s throats. They will promote both sides in that election in the manner they consider most likely to divide our country, as they did in 2016.

“I will end the regime change wars that have taken far too many lives, cost trillions of dollars, and undermined our security by strengthening terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS. We must stand up against the military industrial complex and perpetual wars.” -Tulsi Gabbard

***The more they hate Russia the more I support Russia. ***

“If we could get Russia to help us get rid of ISIS — if we could actually be friendly with Russia — wouldn’t that be a good thing? If we could get along with Russia, wouldn’t that be a good thing, instead of a bad thing?”

When I was in the Army Infantry, Support Battalion opposite sex soldiers were fun.

"Been to combat"/combat "veteran" is an overused term. Putting on a uniform does not make one a Patriot necessarily. I knew of complete weirdos in my units.

“The more they hate Russia the more I support Russia.”

Russia hasn’t done jack to me or this country since the Cold War ended. As far as I can tell, we have more in common with Russia than China and certainly the Islamic World - so why they hell should they still be enemies to us?
