Tulsi Gabbard hits out at Hillary Clinton over her Russia remark

Washington: Congresswoman and Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard on Friday hit out at Hillary Clinton for her remarks that Russians are currently “grooming” a Democrat running in the presidential primary to run as a third-party candidate and champion their interests. Gabbard said the former Secretary of State was the “queen of warmongers, and embodiment of corruption”.
In a series of tweets, Gabbard has accused Clinton of running a “concerted” campaign to “destroy” her reputation.
“Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain,” Gabbard tweeted.
“From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a concerted campaign to destroy my reputation. We wondered who was behind it and why,” she added.
38-year-old Indian-origin Gabbard asked Clinton to join the presidential race directly.
“Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose. It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me. Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly,” she further tweeted.
