Tucker questions how asking why we don’t deal with a problem the US government says they’re worried about … makes both himself and Tulsi Gabbard treasonous tools of Vladimir Putin. Highlights include:
“Siding with Putin … who’s siding with Putin? Haven’t seen anybody do that, I’ve seen a few people try to side with the United States, and THAT, says Mitt Romney, a man who got four deferments to keep himself out of the Vietnam War, THAT is almost treasonous.”
“Here’s what he wrote to Tulsi Gabbard. Now, Tulsi Gabbard is a former member of Congress who currently serves as a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army Reserve, and unlike Mitt Romney, has been deployed. ‘Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda. Her treasonous lies may well cost lives.'”
“Here’s what Tulsi Gabbard actually said that made Mitt Romney accuse her of betraying her own country: ‘Here are the undeniable facts. There are 25-30 U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine. According to the US 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.'”
“Yeah, she hates our country because she’s worried that a pathogen might escape from a biolab and hurt people.”
“Tulsi Gabbard addressed and only addressed the danger that innocent people could die because these weapons, apparently these pathogens, these agents exist in Ukraine. She didn’t blame it on Russia, she didn’t blame anybody. She just said this is a thing. Unsecured bioweapons in a war zone are a bad idea. That’s not reasonable now? That’s treason? Reason isn’t part of the way people are thinking now.”
“‘These supposed biolabs’ … well, the U.S. government says they have biolabs and told us under oath that they’re worried about the contents of these biolabs which they failed to secure, might get into the wrong hands. But it’s right-wing Putinite propaganda!”
“There’s a problem. Before we even assign blame to the problem, it might be worth thinking about how to fix the problem. But, no. Anyone who mentions it should shut up, and not just shut up, be shut up, by force if necessary.”
