Hillary Clinton Appears to Claim Russians 'Grooming' Tulsi Gabbard to Run as Third-Party Candidate – The Daily Beast, Thedailybeast.com


Hillary Clinton appeared toclaimin a podcast interview this week that Russians will support Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as a third-party presidential candidate — and called Jill Stein “a Russian asset.”

Clinton made the remark onCampaign HQ with David Plouffe. “I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on someone who’s currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate. She’s the favorite of the Russians, ”said Clinton, apparently referring to Rep. Gabbard, who’s been accused of receiving support from Russian bots and the Russian news media. “They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far.” She added: “That’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she’s also a Russian asset. Yeah, she’s a Russian asset — I mean, totally. They know they can’t win without a third-party candidate. So I don’t know who it’s going to be, but I will guarantee you they will have a vigorous third-party challenge in the key states that they most needed. ”

Clinton spox Nick Merrill laterclarified, when asked if Clinton was referencing Gabbard: “If the nesting doll fits.”

In August , Gabbard overtlypledged on CNNthat she would not run as a third-party candidate if she does not win the Democratic nomination. During the podcast, Clinton also repeatedly barbed at President Trump, calling him “Vladimir Putin’s dream.” Gabbard’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
