Another Interesting Short Clip from Tulsi Gabbard

 


If what she is saying about Mitt Romney is true, how is he able to get away with it? I am also beginning to become suspicious of all the billions of dollars of US taxpayers’ money that is being channelled into Ukraine. I get the impression that many of those Ukrainian officials are corrupt; or they are stooges of the West; and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of that money is being redirected to undisclosed sources. More of that here and here. Video transcript:


“Senator Mitt Romney—case in point—put out a tweet calling me a treasonous liar, with no … obviously saying that I was, you know, a traitor, and a Russian asset, or a puppet, or whatever it was—but having no evidence to back it up. We sent him a legal letter, saying, Hey, you have just accused me of a crime (I still serve in the US Army Reserves)—of a crime that is punishable by death, under the uniform code of military justice, of committing treason. Yet (and you are in a position of great power and influence), where? If you really believe that was true, then there are things that you can do—actually, there are actions that you should take. If you think … that a lieutenant colonel, in the United States Army Reserves, has committed treason (also former member of Congress, ran for President), well, like, what are you doing about it? What do you think about it? … Absolutely nothing, had no response, publicly or privately, to our legal letter, demanding, Hey, you have made this statement, back it up, if you really meant it.


“But that is just one of those many examples, where they treat this so lightly—and don’t have any concern for the chilling effect that it has on our democracy—on us being able, as people to say, Hey, you know all this tens of billions of dollars you are sending—taking out of our pockets and our wallets, to send to Ukraine—like, even just asking, ‘Where is this money going? How is it advancing the interests of the United States? How is it advancing our own National Security interests?’ Even asking those questions invites those smear attacks—not only on people like Rand Paul, who said, ‘Hey, maybe we should, like, actually track this money’—what to speak of other people who are, you know, just trying to live their lives, and trying to struggle just to survive; and being told, well, hey, that the IRS is going to send over 87,000 new agents, to go and comb through your taxes—you know, everyday American, or small business owner—but how dare you say that we need to hold Ukraine accountable for all this money that we are spending and sending them?”
