Tulsi Gabbard Sues Hillary Clinton For Calling Her A “Russian Asset”

Representative Tulsi Gabbard has announced that she is suing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for defamation for comments that Clinton made during an interview several months ago. In that interview, Clinton implied that Gabbard was a “Russian asset”, though she did not mention Gabbard by name. But that isn’t necessary for a defamation case, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Yesterday, Tulsi Gabbard filed a defamation lawsuit against Hillary Clinton over Hillary Clinton's claims and a podcast from October that Tulsi Gabbard was actually a Russian asset. Now, this news broke yesterday. Twitter are ruptured with it. A lot of people congratulating Tulsi praising her for this. A lot of them talking down to her saying, this is stupid and it's going to go nowhere. But coming from a legal standpoint here, the argument of this lawsuit isn't going to go anywhere, doesn't hold any water. I've seen some hugely intelligent people, people I admire on Twitter saying, well, Tulsi can't Sue her for defamation because Hillary didn't mention Tulsi by name when she was talking about these horrible things, and I'll read the quote in a minute, but let me go ahead and clear this up right now. You can Sue somebody for defamation and win. By the way, even if they don't mention you by name, if the audience is able to infer who you are talking about, it still counts and it holds up in a court of law.

So that argument that she didn't say or name that doesn't hold up in court, not to mention the fact that the interviewer said her name and then Hillary Clinton agreed. So even further proof that that argument isn't going to hold up. So without further ado, here is what Hillary Clinton had to say about Tulsi Gabbard back in October on this podcast. They're also going to do third party. I'm not making any predictions, but I think they've got their eye on somebody who's currently in the democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third party candidate. She's the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and butts and other ways of supporting her so far. And that's assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she's also a Russian asset. Yeah, she's a Russian asset. I mean, totally. They know they can't win without a third party candidate, eh.

And then the interviewer says, are you referring to Tulsi? Gabbard and Hillary Clinton responded with if the rushing nesting doll fits. So yeah, she was talking about Tulsi and she just kind of admitted there that she was talking about Tulsi by giving her yet another jab for being some kind of Russian asset.
