Gabbard then stated that the failed presidential candidate’s statement were not only insulting to herself, but also to other veterans who oppose regime change wars.
In Gabbard’s own words:
“[They are sending this message out to] every veteran in this country, every service member, every American, anyone watching at home fighting for peace and who was calling for an end to these regime change wars.”

Gabbard additionally stated that derailing her presidential campaign is where Clinton’s real interest lies.
Thus far, Clinton has not stated whether or not she plans to enter the 2020 presidential race.
Accusations Involving the Russian Government
Tulsi Gabbard is not the first person whom Clinton has accused of receiving aid from the Russian government. The failed presidential candidate made similar claims about President Trump and former Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
