Tulsi Gabbard lashed out at "neocon" and "neolib warmongers" after
NBC News was exposed trying to smear her as a Kremlin stooge. The network was called out over the weekend for relying on a Democrat-run firm that created fake Russian twitter bots to stage a "false flag" campaign against Republic Roy Moore in the 2017 Alabama special election - New Knowledge.
To justify its claim that Tulsi Gabbard is the Kremlin’s candidate,
NBC writes:
“analysts at New Knowledge, the company the Senate Intelligence Committee used to track Russian activities in the 2016 election, told NBC News they’ve spotted ‘chatter’ related to Gabbard in anonymous online message boards, including those known for fomenting right-wing troll campaigns.”
Only to be called out
hard by journalist Glenn Greenwald:

Replying to @ggreenwald
"What’s particularly unethical about the NBC report is it touts New Knowledge as “the company the Senate used to track Russian activities in the 2016 election,” while concealing the fraud that this firm’s CEO just got caught perpetrating on behalf of the Democratic Party"
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
This NBC News report is a total disgrace from top to bottom. It's a joke using the most minimal journalistic standards. But that's because NBC is in partnership with the Democratic Party (and intel community) to smear any Dem adversary, on the left or right, as a Kremlin tool:

After Greenwald fingered
NBC for relying on New Knowledge - run by Jonathan Morgan (who also developed the technology behind "Hamilton 68" Russian bot-tracking
propaganda website that refuses to disclose its methods) - Gabbard chimed in, tweeting:
"@ggreenwald exposes that
@NBC used journalistic fraud to discredit our campaign. But more important is their motive: "to smear any adversary of the establishment wing of the Democratic Party – whether on the left or the right – as a stooge or asset of the Kremlin.""
She later added:
"As commander-in-chief,
I will work to end the new cold war, nuclear arms race and slide into nuclear war. That is why the neocon/neolib warmongers will do anything to stop me.
