podcast smear\u00a0<\/a>of her as a Russian \u201casset\u201d was a thinly veiled treason accusation.<\/p>\nIn a fiery interview with Fox News\u2019 Tucker Carlson, Gabbard, who is the backfield of a crowded Democratic presidential candidate field, said the startling Clinton charge illustrated the 2020 race was between her “corruption” and Gabbard’s platform.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is about Hillary Clinton\u00a0sending a very strong message\u00a0saying that because I am and\u00a0have long been calling for an\u00a0end to our country’s foreign\u00a0policy\u2026 from regime change to\u00a0regime change\u2026 and because I\u2019m calling for an end to\u00a0this new cold war and nuclear\u00a0arms race, that I’m a Russian\u00a0asset and a traitor to the\u00a0nation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor her to come out and actually speak for herself, come out from behind the curtain and stop using these proxies\u2026 it will again be clear that this is a race between Hillary Clinton and myself,\u201d Gabbard added.<\/p>\n
\u201cVoters will be given a very clear choice,” Gabbard said, “between choosing Hillary Clinton and all that she represents and continuing these warmongering regime-change policies and corruption, or supporting me and my candidacy and the leadership I seek to bring as a Democrat.”<\/p>\n
In an earlier interview on CNN, commentator Van Jones\u00a0warned that Clinton was \u201cplaying a very dangerous game\u201d with the not-so-veiled attack on Gabbard.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a backstory and\u00a0there are two sides to every\u00a0story.\u00a0Let’s not forget, Tulsi Gabbard\u00a0was picked out by the Democratic\u00a0Party and put at the top of the\u00a0DNC\u201d ahead of the 2016 election, Jones\u00a0said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey thought she was going to be\u00a0their golden girl and she got\u00a0that position and she looked\u00a0around and saw [former DNC chair] Debbie Wasserman\u00a0Schulz and other people,\u00a0Clinton allies, doing stuff they\u00a0shouldn’t be doing in the\u00a0primary and Tulsi publicly quit\u00a0and endorsed Bernie Sanders and\u00a0it’s been payback hell ever\u00a0since.\u201d<\/p>\n
