Democrats have been spreading a malicious falsehood about Tulsi Gabbard being a Russian asset for quite some time now. This baseless smear campaign has no grounding in reality and is simply a ploy to discredit Gabbard. Recently, journalist Glenn Greenwald spoke out against this false narrative while talking to Megyn Kelly, highlighting the Democrats’ tendency to use the Russia smear tactic ever since Trump’s election victory in 2016.

Greenwald criticized the media for allowing Democrats to get away with making these claims without any scrutiny or demand for evidence. He pointed out that the accusations against Gabbard lack any factual basis and are simply accepted as truth without question.

In a tweet shared by Kanekoa the Great, Greenwald debunked the notion that Gabbard is a Russian asset, emphasizing her dedication to serving her country. Gabbard’s military service in Iraq, where she witnessed the consequences of misguided wars, fueled her opposition to partnering with ISIS and Al Qaeda in Syria to overthrow Assad. Her firsthand experience in the Middle East shaped her views on foreign policy and led her to advocate against repeating past mistakes.

Greenwald highlighted the hypocrisy of those who have never served in the military questioning Gabbard’s patriotism and loyalty. Despite her unwavering commitment to her country, she has faced baseless accusations that tarnish her reputation without any evidence to support them.

As a vocal critic of the intelligence services and a liberal himself, Greenwald’s defense of Gabbard carries weight. With Gabbard recently appointed by Trump to lead the NIH, it is likely that attacks against her will only intensify. The unjust smear campaign against Gabbard serves as a reminder of the toxic nature of politics and the importance of standing up against false accusations.
