Tulsi Gabbard Lashes Back at Hillary Clinton After Claim of Russian Influence – The New York Times

Ms. Gabbard is averaging less than 1 percent in the polls but qualified for this week’s Democratic debate, where she promoted her noninterventionist foreign policy platform and attacked the news media for what she said was bias against her.

Mrs. Clinton made her initial allegation on a podcast hosted by David Plouffe, a former aide to President Barack Obama.

“I’m not making any predictions,” she said, “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. She’s the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far.”
