I love our country. It’s why I decided to enlist after 9/11, why I serve in Congress, and why I’m offering to serve as your commander in chief — to protect you, our Constitution, our freedom. https://t.co/O84E20Lpio #TULSI2020 #TulsiGabbard #ServiceBeforeSelf pic.twitter.com/wTpDKShEUI

Then, Clinton alleged that Gabbard is being “groomed” by the Russian government to run interference in the current presidential election.
Despite the lack of evidence to support Clinton’s accusations, many leftists ran with them. Left-wingers Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar, both co-host of The View, backed Clinton’s assertions before calling Gabbard a “trojan horse” and a “useful idiot.”
Bringing About Their Own Demise
The Democrat Party isn’t doing themselves any favors by treating one of the few reasonable members of their party so poorly.
If the left condemned the radicalism of Warren and Sanders even half as much as they do Gabbard, their party would be much better off.
Contrary to what the left may think, accusations of radicalism and extremism are not just right-wing talking points. Calling to abolish the Department of Homeland Security is radical. Stating that billionaires should not exist is radical.
If Democrats persist on their current course of action (which they inevitably will), their party will only go further down the drain. It’s quite an unfortunate sight to see; a major political party in this country should never embrace policies and candidates which are so inarguably anti-American.
