Former congresswoman and Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has responded to criticism after being accused of lending credibility to Russian accusations that the U.S. funded biological weapons laboratories in Ukraine. In fact, Gabbard cited evidence that the U.S. funds bio labs in Ukraine, not biological weapons labs.
Claims that the United States is funding Ukrainian laboratories developing biological and chemical weapons have been connected to Russian propaganda outlets. The unsubstantiated allegations are often repeated by Russian government officials.
The U.S. has dismissed accusations of working on bio weapons in Ukraine, but has said it has been working with Ukraine since 2005 to research deadly pathogens as part of the Pentagon‘s Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP).
In a Monday morning tweet, Gabbard responded to a Sunday remark from Republican Senator Mitt Romney, who called her statements calling for all U.S.-funded labs to be shut down as “treasonous lies” that could “cost lives.”
In a series of posts, Gabbard said that Romney should provide proof that there are no U.S. funded biolabs in Ukraine. She also said that if he can’t do so, he should “apologize and resign from the Senate.”
“So, Senator Romney, you have a choice: out of pride, continue to deny the truth or admit you are wrong, apologize, and resign,” Gabbard said, in concluding the thread. “Aloha. And remember that without the truth, we can be neither safe nor free.”

Newsweek reached out to Romney’s office for comment but did not hear back before publication.
Gabbard did not accuse the U.S. of funding bio weapons labs in Ukraine in the Fox News interview that drew criticism. She said that “if there were” such labs they would violate the Biological Weapons Convention.
Mitt is a scumbag. Tusli was up in his grille with her response. Mitt must be primaried in 2024
Either these leftists don’t listen or they are constantly on the lookout for some excuse to feign outrage. I’m not that fond of Gabbard, but Mitt and his leftist buddies had to make up what she and Carlson said in order to be able to pretend to be outraged. Maybe Mitt took his cues from the pigs on The View, because they called for Gabbard and Carlson to be thrown in prison for their own misinterpretation and misrepresentation of their remarks.
Tulsi Gabbard is promoting Putin’s propaganda.
Gabbard knows this how? It’s conspiracy theory bullshit, serving the cause of a tyrant who has invaded and is destroying a neighboring democratic nation. Does the GOP want her? They’re more than welcomed to her.
I would imagine you also think tucker is a Putin propagandist as well.
romney is a moron
Yep. Tucker Carlson has essentially become another Putin mouthpiece. FOX News has become as schizophrenic as the GOP itself. Romney and Cheney are the fading voices of traditional GOP conservativism and sanity.
Provide examples.
Tucker speaks:
Listen, and figure it out for yourself. Corrosive lie upon corrosive lie. His FOX News clips are frequently featured in Russian media. He’s part of the Putin fifth column, and a very effective on.
His (Tucker Carlson) FOX News clips are frequently featured in Russian media.
“Leaked Kremlin Memo to Russian Media: It Is “Essential” to Feature Tucker CarlsonThe Russian government has pressed outlets to highlight the Fox host’s Putin-helping broadcasts.“
So says Mother Jones, one of the most disreputable publishers in the U.S. No one, not even Russia, would give Mother Jones the time of day. But that is where Comrade Goose Stepper gets his information. No wonder he sounds like an idiot 24/7.
But hey, perhaps Comrade Goose Stepper could ask Barack Obama, Jr. about the biolabs in Ukraine. He was in on the ground floor of them being built.
Try this:
EXCLUSIVE: Deleted Web Pages Show Obama Led an Effort To Build a Ukraine-Based BioLab Handling ‘Especially Dangerous Pathogens’. (thenationalpulse.com)
So let’s talk about biolabs, shall we? Are they to prevent the use of bio weapons against other nations and are headed up by responsible scientists who are only concerned with with that or are they mad scientists like Anthony Fauci who funded the Wuhan lab on gain-of-function process which unleashed a pandemic on the entire world?
Why was the U.S. funding these bio labs in another country?
Now, what was it again that Comrade Greggie claims Tulsi Gabbard said? Oh, here it is:
But wait, what did Gabbard ACTUALLY say?
“Here are the undeniable facts. There are 25 to 30 U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine. According to the U.S. government, these biolabs are conducting research on dangerous pathogens. Ukraine is in an active war zone with widespread bombing, artillery and shelling, and these facilities, even in the best of circumstances, could easily be compromised and release these deadly pathogens.”
Someone please explain to me why Comrade Greggie would lie about what Gabbard said. Surely the Comrade’s moral code, which he touts frequently, wouldn’t lie about a thing like that. Maybe he got the wrong information from one of his ever so reliable news sources. Yeah, that must be it.
Judas Priest, Comrade Greggie must get his rocks off playing the village idiot.
Greg
Which Carlson question is a lie?
So, in summary…
If you don’t support Trump not actually winning in 2016, you’re a Russian/Racist/Rapist.
If you don’t believe everything that is retracted on page 3, proved to be a lie about Trump, you are a White Supremacist.
If you won’t take an experimental vaccine that they killed hundreds of thousands over to suppress drugs that work so they could use the emergency usage authorization, you’re and anti-vaxxer and you’re the one killing people.
And now, to cover for the Biden regime and the globalists getting their teeth kicked on the world-stage, to simply point out it’s Biden and the Davos jerks who are responsible for this, you are a “Putin mouthpiece.”
There’s a point of diminishing returns on the the Kulak-level scapegoating and making up new labels.
You turds are long since past that point.
Tulsi is just another American who’s had the scales fall from her eyes and she sees the totalitarian Democrat Party for what it is.

And Putin is financed and emboldened by it.

Nuland didn’t actually say what Glen Greenwald’s post claims she said. Having functional ears connected to a functional brain I know that, because I listened to what she said.
Gabbard is spot on
This is not a revelation. It’s a Putin propaganda point, rolled out to rationalize Putin’s effin’ war against Ukraine.
Biological research facilities are being conflated with bio-weapon development projects. This is pretty much insane. Biological research facilities are medical research facilities. If you wonder why they exist, consider the COVID pandemic, and consider how many other emerging diseases could pose global threats.
If it’s not a revelation, then it’s a fact. If it’s a fact, how is it propaganda?
And your evidence of this “fact” is what? Or do you not need any, to believe what Putin is saying? Because Tulsi is simply repeating what Putin is saying. That, at least, is a fact.
She did not say that and neither did I
Maybe this clip which has both Tucker and Tulsi will help clear things up. From the horses mouth as it we’re.
So, I think you need reminding that Xi and Putin don’t deal in facts. They deal in things they can claim umbrage over, distorting or outright lying to justify their actions.
Just like you.
P.S. – Covid was released on purpose by the globalist via China to start their Great Reset.
I am with Tulsi on this one. romney is a turncoat. The only reason he sits in the senate is because he got President Trump’s endorsement. That will not happen again.
You don’t have functional ears (or a brain) or you would understand Gabbard didn’t say anything that hadn’t already been promote by the US government.
Is that why Nuland testified this is true before Congress?
Biolabs are not biological weapon development facilities. Conflating the two is the lie. The lie rationalizes Putin’s psychotic episode of military aggression. Mitt Romney understands that.
Pro Tip:
Don’t install dictators, then complain about career dictators do what they’ve been threatening for decades.
The 80s called, Greg. They want you to know you’re the batshit crazy fundamentalist strawman that you think you’re fighting against.
Trump 2024.
Lots of luck with that lying fat f*ck’s 2024 national shakedown tour.
Am I speaking clearly?
I couldnt hear it at all with the goose stepping boot clicks.
BTW do you actually talk to the computer screen or use a keyboard?
Always nice to bait you into showing us the kind of low-brow, low-thinking fascist we know you are.
Your Trump derangement has literally killed thousands in Ukraine…and for what? A divided nation and new civil war.
I hope you are happy…but it sounds like you’re not.
Trump, and Trump’s polices, are complete vindicated by the puppet that is drool on our nation’s WH, and place he will NEVER belong.
Trump handled Putin.
Trump handled the borders.
Trump handled China.
Trump handled lobbyists.
Trump ended endless wars.
Trump did literally everything any sane American wants in the world right now….and for that, all the bad guys…the Chinese, the Davos gang, the Zuckerbergs, the banks…all of them colluded to oust Trump…and had to do so, illegally.
It’s war. A war of free Americans and free people everywhere against installed and evil dictators from Biden to Trudeau to Xi to Putin.
Trump has the receipts. He was the President we voted for, and the President the world needs.
It’s provable fact. The only people who would say otherwise are the slime that serve these unelected overlords who have now caused the invasion of Ukraine.
We won’t let you assholes forget it.
Trump 2024.
You might want to use something more potent than Brian Stelter and Eric Ciaramella to take Trump down. As long as he breaths, I’m pretty sure his personal mission to hold the deep state and dictators to account.
Joe Biden’s current approval rating has at last dipped as low as Donald Trump’s 4-year average.
Idiot Biden has 98% media support, the liberal media supporting his lies about Putin causing the inflation that has driving prices up since January, 2021 and not calling him out for his lies about Afghanistan, the border, energy production, crime, and buying American while Trump had 94% negative media coverage, promoting the Russian collusion lie, the quid pro quo lie, emoluments lie, tax evasion lie, “fine people” lie, causing COVID deaths lie, inject Lysol lie and thousands of minor lies in between. The media has YET to honestly cover the evidence of corruption on Hunter’s laptops or Hunter’s money laundering with his “paintings”. If idiot Biden had thorough and fair coverage, he would be a 5% approval.
I find Leftists just don’t care. This isn’t about facts to them, it’s about emotion.
They’ll kill you before conceding that Trump was good at being President.
They don’t deal in truth, they deal in “alignment”.
It’s far more important for those on the Left to do what Colbert says than to live outside the herd.
If CNN started saying “Trump isn’t so bad, he’s actually good” all of those people would agree within a week. They don’t have a mind of their own.
When the Senate goes full GOP and Congress most likely flips, Biden will be removed. Quickly.
Not really. It is difficult to understand why you call Trump a liar while you enthusiastically support and defend the BIGGEST liar we have ever seen in the office.
She did not conflate the two. Wuhan is also a biolab. The leak of the CCP virus did everything a bioweapon would do.
You are right on the verge of catching on. Gabbard never claimed they were weapons labs. She called them what they were and expressed concern that the Russians might hit one with artillery or bombs. Would that be a logical concern in your mind?
Here, in Utah, many Mormons look at Mitt as one step lower than their “12.”
That said, many Mormon men I have gotten to know are inadvertently misogynistic.
They demean their own wives and daughters without even realizing it.
They put down other women often.
And, an “uppity” woman is worthy only of overt wrath to them.
Mitt is one of those men.
No wonder he hasn’t had the male fortitude to respond to 3rd party queries, or to apologize to her.
Oh come on. He has binders full of women!
