Tulsi Gabbard sued Hillary Clinton for defamation (and $50 million) this morning over Clinton’s comments about a “Russian asset” in the 2020 race. Clinton’s spokesperson told Forbes in an email that the lawsuit is “ridiculous” by lisettevoytko
about a potential third-party presidential candidate being allegedly used as a “Russian asset” to create interference in the 2020 election but did not mention Gabbard by name.
The suit opens with a rousing accusation: “In October 2019—whether out of personal animus, political enmity, or fear of real change within a political party Clinton and her allies have long dominated—Clinton lied about her perceived rival Tulsi Gabbard. She did so publicly, unambiguously, and with obvious malicious intent.”
According to the suit, Clinton “reserves a special animosity and hatred” towards Gabbard over her support of Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election: “Clinton—a cutthroat politician by any account—has never forgotten this perceived slight. And in October 2019, she sought retribution by lying, publicly and loudly, about Tulsi Gabbard.”
The lawsuit argues that “Clinton got exactly what she wanted by lying about Tulsi—she harmed her political and personal rival’s reputation and ongoing Presidential campaign, and started a damaging whisper campaign based on baseless, but vicious, untruths.in an emailed statement that the lawsuit is “ridiculous.”
