20. Meghan McCain Clashes With 'View' Co-Hosts on Tulsi Gabbard: She's No 'Russian Stooge'

It is odd how Tulsi Gabbard gets support from Russians and Republicans. Perhaps because the main thing she brings to the table is to attack Democrats and other Democratic candidates, except for Bernie, with a boost from foreign Russian outlets.

“The Republicans like her, and I think she’s a real Trojan horse here because when you look at her record, in particular, she’s apologized for it but she was very anti-LGBTQ community,” co-host Sunny Hostin said Thursday on The View. “She also has praised Trump for meeting with Kim Jong Un three times.”

“That’s why they like her,” liberal host Joy Behar quipped.

Hostin, meanwhile, went on to highlight that Gabbard voted for a measure that would prevent Syrian refugees from settling in America, adding that the Democratic lawmaker also has refused to call Assad a war criminal.

This prompted co-host Ana Navarro to note that she may just be “paranoid” but Gabbard has suddenly received a lot of support from people “who used to dislike her tremendously.” “There is a lot of writings in Russia Today and Russian traffic around Tulsi,” Navarro stated, referencing the notorious Russian propaganda media arm. “There is something going on. I suspect it’s not knowingly by her because I think she’s a decent human being who served this country, but I’m paranoid.”
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
