Assange/Wikileaks are promoting Tulsi Gabbard now.

They view her as an ally -- which is one more thing that separates her from the rest of the Democratic field, and not in a good way.

US presidential candidate @TulsiGabbard this evening: WikiLeaks spurred "necessary change'



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 Assange’s 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 Putin’s interference campaign.

have become quite active in the last 90 days, promoting CTs and also Gabbard. It’s not hard to figure out what’s happening.
