Tulsi Gabbard sues Hillary Clinton for $50M

"Clinton lied about her perceived rival Tulsi Gabbard. She did so publicly, unambiguously, and with obvious malicious intent"

- seems about right.

17. On October 17, 2019, Clinton was a guest on the podcast Campaign HQ With David Plouffe. In the course of a widely-distributed national interview, Clinton stated the following regarding "somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary” who...

[they] are grooming . . . to be the third-party candidate. She’s the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots 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.

(“Defamatory Statements”).

19. The next day, October 18, Clinton doubled down on the Defamatory Statements. A CNN reporter asked Clinton’s official spokesman, Nick Merrill, whether the Defamatory Statements were about Tulsi. Clinton’s spokesman responded:

If the nesting doll fits. This is not some outlandish claim. This is reality.”

50. ...Scientifically conducted opinion surveys have shown that Clinton’s false, malicious statements about Tulsi were accepted as true by millions of Americans, including large numbers of voters in battleground Presidential primary states.

 

 

Here's how Hillary's smear was reported at the time... reminds me of accusations I get from certain Spiked members
