Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) did not take kindly to failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s scandalous claims that Gabbard was a “Russian asset” being groomed by the Kremlin to ensure President Donald Trump’s re-election.
Gabbard responded to Clinton with a fiery series of tweets on Friday, excoriating the septugenerian career politician as the “queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long.”
