Gabbard tells Fox that Clinton's 'Russian asset' remark is 'taking my life away' [View all]
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) told Fox News on Thursday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is taking her "life away" with her "Russian asset" remark.
"This is my life that we're talking about here," Gabbard said on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
"For me as a soldier, as every service member does, I took an oath of loyalty to our country — the country that I love, willing to put my life on the line for our country — deploying twice to the Middle East to do so," said Gabbard, an Iraq War veteran who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination.
"So when you have someone as powerful as Hillary Clinton seeking to smear my reputation and essentially implying that I'm a traitor to the country that I love, what she essentially is doing is taking my life away," she added.
Gabbard announced this week she was suing Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, for $50 million in damages after Clinton said on a podcast that Gabbard was "a favorite of the Russians" and was "totally" a "Russian asset."
Gabbard also explained how she came to the $50 million number she is seeking in an interview with reporters on the campaign trail. Footage of the moment was posted to Twitter by NBC News.
