Failed candidate Tulsi Gabbard drops her ridiculous lawsuit against Hillary Clinton. |
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is no longer seeking reelection was considered a gadfly among the Democratic base. She was the only lawmaker to vote present when the House of Representatives impeached Donald J. Trump.
Gabbard filed the $50 million lawsuit after Clinton said in an October 2019 interview that one of the Democratic presidential contenders was "the favorite of the Russians" and a "Russian asset." Gabbard, who served in the Army National Guard, was a presidential candidate at the time.
She was considered the alt-right's choice. She is a skeptic of the Russian meddling in the election. Gabbard is a supporter of Bashar al-Assad and the war against the dictator's opposition.
Gabbard was a fierce critic of Clinton. She called her the "Queen of Warmongers" after the former first lady criticizes Republicans and Russian operatives. Clinton did not mention Gabbard by name but said that the Russians are grooming a candidate to be a spoiler for the eventual Democratic nominee.
In a court filing, Gabbard's lawyers dismissed the legal action.
"While they remain certain of the action's legal merit, they are just as certain that this new COVID and post-COVID world require them to focus their time and attention on other priorities, including defeating Donald Trump in 2020, rather than righting the wrongs here," the attorneys said, according to The Hill.
The lawsuit contended that Clinton had "no basis for making her false assertions." Gabbard claimed the former 2016 presidential candidate had "a unique, personal connection to Tulsi that animates her hostility towards Tulsi and her presidential campaign.”
Hillary Clinton was right. The former Democratic nominee slammed Donald J. Trump, Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard and Russia for spreading lies and misinfomration about her campaign. |
Gabbard endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the 2016 Democratic nomination after she and Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) got into a huge spat over the Democratic National Committee rules on superdelegates. Wasserman-Schultz was then the DNC chairwoman and Gabbard was vice chair.
Gabbard and Sanders quickly endorsed Joe Biden as the nominee after they exited the 2020 Democratic nomination race.
Gabbard lives in Hawai'i. She was born in the U.S. territory of American Samoa and grew up a former far right Republican. She would denounce her former ways and is considered a moderate among most Democrats.
