Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard fired back at Hillary Clinton after Clinton accused Gabbard of being a Russian agent.
Rep. Gabbard (D-HI) called Hillary Clinton "the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that sickened the Democratic Party for so long."
"From the day I announced my candidacy," Gabbard stated, "there has been powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose." Gabbard said, "It's now clear that the primary is between you and me. Don't cowardly hide behind your proxies," and encouraged Clinton to "Join the race directly."
Gabbard is polling around one percent in the current race for the Democratic nomination.

It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me. Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly.
In a podcast with David Plouffe, the former campaign manager for President Obama in 2008, Clinton accused Gabbard of being a Russian asset.

'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, in apparent reference to Gabbard. 'She's the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far.'
She then accused Stein, who ran against her and Donald Trump in 2016, of also being an asset of Russia: 'That’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she’s also a Russian asset.'
Hillary is a known conspiracy theorist, who has blamed her husband's impeachment on a "vast, right-wing conspiracy" and her defeat in the 2016 presidential race on "Russian collusion."
