Do not blame the victims of politically motivated Russian interference. Neither Tulsi or Bernie are/were responsible for or complicit with the orders coming out of Moscow:
'Special counsel Robert Muellers office said on Friday that a federal grand jury has indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities accused of interfering with U.S. elections and political processes.
WASHINGTON It turns out Donald Trump wasnt the only candidate the Russians allegedly tried to help during the 2016 presidential campaign.
A 37-page indictment resulting from special counsel Robert Muellers investigation shows that Russian nationals and businesses also worked to boost the campaigns of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders... in an effort to damage Democrat Hillary Clinton.
The Russians engaged in operations primarily intended to communicate derogatory information about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders and then-candidate Donald Trump, according to the indictment, which was issued Friday.'

Russians are equal opportunity shit-stirrers. They do not care about party labels which means it is wrong to assume that the candidates they "support" are bad or believe that the ones that they attack (see Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio) are good. Blaming Tulsi or Bernie is missing this point completely.
Instead of throwing shade at Gabbard, Harris needs to address point by point Gabbard's attack on her history as DA and AG. I have yet to see anything substantive out of the Harris campaign besides deflection and a Kill the Messenger defense which won't work.
Voters deserve to know the truth.
Earlier, I said, "... Unless you have research and sources that can override those of The New York Times, The Mercury Press, LA Times, SF Chronicle and Factcheck.org. Those are the sources which back up Tulsi's claims on this thread. Try reading them with an open mind instead of discounting them out of hand. These news outlets and their editorial staff do not publish Fake News."
