Tulsi Gabbard Doubles Down Slamming Romney for Claim She Is Telling ‘Treasonous Lies’

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) is not backing down from her response to Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Utah) claim that she is spreading “treasonous lies.”

During an appearance on Fox News, Gabbard told 👤Tucker Carlson, “This is not a matter of disagreement or holding a dissenting view. This is about facts.”

She continued, “While Senator Romney and all these different talking heads in the mainstream media are regurgitating Hillary Clinton’s slanderous talking points, the facts remain.”

Gabbard noted that “they are accusing me of saying that somehow there are bioweapons labs in 🇺🇦Ukraine. I’ve said no such thing at any point.”

She added, “I have said that there are biolabs in 🇺🇦Ukraine that have received U.S. support that contain dangerous pathogens that if those labs are breached, then we in the world are facing a potential future of pandemics that this is a dangerous crisis that needs to be addressed immediately. These pathogens need to be destroyed.”

Gabbard explained she believes it is “important to recognize that facts exist, especially in this case, and the truth is the first casualty of war.”

The Democrat argued, “And so this is exactly what we are seeing here people have a very specific agenda, refusing to recognize the truth, refusing to have a conversation and instead immediately resorting to their age-old tactic of silence, smear and destroy the character and reputation of anyone who dares to say anything that they don’t like.”
