In case anybody needs to be reminded: Assange/Wikileaks and Russia worked to interfere in the 2016 election. Tulsi should be CONDEMNING Wikileaks, not complimenting it.

The architect of WikiLeaks continues to depict himself as a heroic fighter for the cause of transparency, but that image is increasingly hard to take at face value. A series of revelations over the past two years from U.S. intelligence agencies, special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and the international media have dramatically altered Assanges place in the scheme of things.
Assange, we now know, was a key player in the Russian operation to undermine the 2016 U.S. presidential election by actively helping Donald Trump to become president and undercutting Americans trust in their democracy, the twin goals of Russian President Vladimir Putins interference campaign.

(4,423 posts)6. Some of the Stein supporter profiles that have been mostly dormant since 2016
have become quite active in the last 90 days, promoting CTs and also Gabbard. Its not hard to figure out whats happening.
