There once was a sleeper-cell Gabbard,
Who said, "Keep your swords in their scabbards!"
She took Russian dough,
And their talking points, so
The Dems on the ballot get hammered.

Tulsi Gabbard is an apologist for the murderous regime of Putin-supported Assad in Syria:

Tulsi Gabbard’s “election” campaign was initially underwritten by Putin-apologist supporters of Russia (for instance, an employee of Russia Today) 3/x thedailybeast.com/tulsi-gabbards…
Tulsi Gabbard has repeated numerous Russian/Trump talking points, including that Mueller found “no collusion” (a lie) and that the Ukraine transcript doesn’t provide a basis for impeachment (she has since softened that position) 4/x

The Russian embassy openly defends Tulsi Gabbard from criticism, attacking those who criticize her: 5/x

Tulsi Gabbard is promoted by Matt Gaetz, Tucker Carlson, and David Duke. (She rejected Duke’s endorsement, but not the others.) 6/x

The top story on Russia Today after Gulag Gabbard’s last debate appearance was “Tulsi Gabbard Dismantles Kamala Harris”

Pushed on social media after the debate, those Tulsi Gabbard pile-on attacks of Kamala Harris were mostly misleading, inaccurate, and unfair. 9/x

But Gabbard’s attacks on Kamala Harris worked—they didn’t improve Gabbard’s polling, post-debate, but they cut into Kamala Harris’s, who had been surging. (And, by the way, Kamala Harris would roast DJT on a debate stage. There wouldn’t be an orange puddle of sweat left.) 10/x
Gabbard’s goal may be; damage Democratic candidates who would do best in head-to-head debates against Trump and then to become 2019’s Jill Stein—a third-party candidate to siphon off 1-2% of the Democratic vote, giving a couple of close states to Trump. 11/x

Anyway, beware of Tulsi Gabbard tonight. And, 'bye if this is it for my Twitter account. It’s been nice.

Go after Gabbard on Twitter? Surprisingly, you get hit by password-reset phishing scams, almost as if Russian cyber-warfare was on her side: 12/12
