Tulsi Gabbard Smeared as ‘Treasonous Liar' By Sen. Mitt Romney Over Ukraine Biolab Concerns
[Anti-War.com] On Sunday, former House representative for Hawaii Tulsi Gabbard released a video calling for the Biden administration to work with Russia and other parties to establish a ceasefire in Ukraine so dangerous pathogens held by US-funded biological research labs in the country could be destroyed.

Despite the undeniable evidence that there are Pentagon-linked biological labs in Ukraine, any concern about the pathogens has been labeled "Russian propaganda" by hawks in Washington. In response to Gabbard’s video, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) labeled her as "treasonous."

"Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda. Her treasonous lies may well cost lives," Romney wrote on Twitter.

Gabbard’s video also elicited a response from Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), one of the leading proponents of the idea that the US should impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine, which would mean direct conflict with Russia and risk nuclear war. "Actual Russian propaganda. Traitorous," Kinzinger said.

In response to Romney, Gabbard challenged Romney to provide evidence that what she said was not true. "Senator Romney, please provide evidence that what I said is untrue and treasonous. If you cannot, you should do the honorable thing: apologize and resign from the Senate," she said.

Gabbard also presented evidence of the US’s involvement with Ukrainian biolabs, including a Pentagon fact sheet dated March 11 that details US funding of the facilities. The Pentagon funds labs in Ukraine through its Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). The fact sheet said since 2005, the US has "invested" $200 million in "supporting 46 Ukrainian laboratories, health facilities, and diagnostic sites."

#1 Romney has 'binders' of women like Tulsi Gabbard. They are all treasonous spies who should remain silent and let men do the talking.

#5 Secure site means admitting USA involvement, secure evidence.

Guess they don't want any of that noise. I mean, that would be a legit call for a temporary suspension of air activities...but no, its treason, which is an actual criminal charge.

#6 One fine day Pierre can get together with John McCain in hell and they can corroborate on their tall tales. I'm sure the devil is wise enough to give them all the credence they deserve.

#11 It's like, you're either Putin's cock holster or you're a neocon warmonger. No ones allowed to say hey, there's bad shit on both sides, or maybe it's not really any of our business

#15 "They aren't bioweapon labs, they are bio-defense labs, and if you mention them again, I'll call for your death."

Interesting tack.

Also interesting are the architects and beneficiaries of 20 years of Afghanistan and Iraq are all, "Acksually, invading a country is a war crime."

I hate to be fair here, but were there not economic nukes deployed, attempting to shut off the ability to purchase food and heat in the middle of winter for some 140 million Russians, and how many Canadians?

#17 All of these 'people' running their mouths are basically having to accuse others because they're not planning on doing anything for Ukraine themselves. Distract, distract, distract...

#18 Mittens has lost his lil mind, keeping with the pattern set for Presidential Election losers since 2000. Odd and sad. Too soon to say about The Donald yet, although the boy gives me pause sometimes.
