Gabbard calls unflattering report 'fake news'

Politico

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat running for her party's 2020 presidential nomination, on Sunday called a Daily Beast report that her campaign is being backed by prominent Russian sympathizers "fake news."

Speaking to ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "This Week," the Hawaii congresswoman said, "You know, it’s unfortunate that you’re citing that article, George, because it’s a whole lot of fake news.

"What I am focused on is what is in the best interest of the American people, what is in the best interest of our national security, keeping the American people safe," Gabbard continued.

“Fake news” is a favorite phrase of President Donald Trump. In the last two months, he has tweeted it more than two dozen times.

No Democrat should parrot Trump's words. "Fake news" should be thrown in the trash forever.

When you go as far left as Gabbard, you’re also part of the far right. This explains her love for brutal dictators, and why they love her on Fox News.

If she wasn't from royal blue Hawaii, would she be a Democrat at all? It seems to be her only path to power there.

That is part of what makes me wonder. By extension, I have to be suspicious as to whether she really evolved or whether political expediency required it.

I shouldn't throw stones because I grew up in the conservative deep south and had to evolve myself.
