'I'm Terrified of You': Chelsea Manning Blasts 'Greedy, Unprincipled' Former Friend Glenn Greenwald

Former United States Army intel analyst Chelsea Manning decried Glenn Greenwald and renounced the support he offered when she spoke out as a whistleblower.

On Thursday, Manning took to Twitter to condemn the journalist.

“Glenn Greenwald, I don’t have $10,000 right now but if I get it I want to send it back to you from a donation you once did. I can’t deal with this anymore. Im terrified of you and everything you do. You’re greedy, unprincipled, and Im embarrassed for ever considering you a friend,” she wrote.

“Last night during the floods I decided that im no longer going to be afraid of saying what’s on my mind anymore or taking a stand from the people that i once considered allies but who have chosen to bash, harass, humiliate, intimidate, and lie to get ahead,” she continued. “To those he has hurt Im sorry I didn’t say anything I was scared and that’s my fault.”

Greenwald is a fraud and a rightwing enabler. He always has been, but his mask has been coming off a bit more than usual lately and most everyone sees it for themselves now.

I don't know whether he was always so deplorable (nods to HRC), but he certainly has been the past decade or so.

during the Obama years.

Greenwald's always been an ass.
