Tulsi doesn't have any "far-right" views and she's not backed by Russia, she just happens to have some right-wingers who like her and doesn't want to wage a Cold War over Twitter bots. People can't engage her on the substance so resort to garbage mischaracterizations and smears
I've spoken with her extensively and never heard her express anything remotely resembling a right-wing view. It's just nonsense. Some right-wingers like her because she rejects "Resistance"-style rhetoric and isn't a screechy Culture Warrior. But her policy beliefs are left-wing
Any candidate who strives to transcend typical partisan boundaries is going to be attacked by people who can't handle heterodoxy, especially if those heterodoxies challenge foreign policy consensus. It's nothing new, Tulsi is just the latest target
