Tulsi Gabbard responded to an insinuation made by Hillary Clinton on a podcast that Russia is grooming one of the candidates running in the Democratic presidential primary to be a third party candidate favorable to their interests.
"I'm not making any predictions, but I think they've got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate," Clinton said during an appearance with David Plouffe, a former Barack Obama adviser, according to."She's the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far.
While Clinton did not name Gabbard, there are only five women in the race, and Gabbard has been the only one thus far to respond. Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill responded in a statement by CNN,"Divisive language filled with vitriol and conspiracy theories? Can't imagine a better proof point than this."
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard had harsh words for Hillary Clinton after she insinuated that Gabbard might be being"groomed" by Russia for a third party presidential run.Merrill then responded to CNN's question if Clinton had been referring to Gabbard in her statement by saying,"If the nesting doll fits."at Gabbard in response to her Tweets that it was the"Assad day for your candidacy.
Gabbard has also firmly stated that she is not planning a third party candidacy should her bid for the Democratic nomination fail."I will not," she said to CNN."No, I have ruled that out."
