Listen up, goys, do not believe a word this Russian bot says.
She has proposed peace in Syria before we have finished protecting Our Friends and Allies in the Middle East.
Representative Gabbard has questioned the story of Assad gassing his own people, just like Putin.
She has even talked to Assad personally, JUST LIKE PUTIN.
Shout out, anons, from NBC:
A few of our analysts saw some chatter on 8chan saying she was a good 'divider' candidate to amplify," said Renee DiResta, director of research at New Knowledge.
NBC News has exposed Rep Gabbard's ties to the Kremlin with this shocking expose:

Excerpts from article:
"DisInfo 2018, part of the cybersecurity firm New Knowledge"
"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. The chatter discussed Gabbard's usefulness."
Russia's propaganda machine discovers 2020 Democratic candidate Tulsi Gabbard
Experts who track websites and social media linked to Russia have seen stirrings of a possible campaign of support for Hawaii Democrat Tulsi Gabbard.
"The Russian propaganda machine that tried to influence the 2016 U.S. election is now promoting the presidential aspirations of a controversial Hawaii Democrat who earlier this month declared her intention to run for president in 2020."
"…The CIA has called RT and Sputnik part of 'Russia's state-run propaganda machine.'
All three sites [RT, Russia-Insider, Sputnik] celebrated Gabbard's announcement, defended her positions on Russia and her 2017 meeting with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, and attacked those who have suggested she is a pawn for Moscow. The coverage devoted to Gabbard, both in news and commentary, exceeds that afforded to any of the declared or rumored Democratic candidates despite Gabbard's lack of voter recognition."
Alex Stamos, former chief security officer at Facebook:
"Her promulgation of positions compatible with Russian geo strategic interests can help them mainstream such discussion in the [Democratic] party"
"Gabbard helps them with all their 'lines of attack.'"
"…she has also angered the party's liberal base with her past positions on same sex marriage, abortion and guns. Just weeks after Donald Trump's upset victory over Hillary Clinton, she met with the president-elect at Trump Tower."
"She's accused the U.S. of pushing a policy of 'regime change' wars and in January 2017, she met with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad in Syria on what she called a 'fact-finding mission.' "
" 'How does going to war with Russia over Syria serve the interest of the American people?' she mentioned in a tweet. Gabbard has also supported Trump's diplomatic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in one of her multiple appearances with Tucker Carlson."
"Experts in Russian on-line propaganda say Gabbard appeals to pro-Russian sites because her positions —and her appeal as an outsider in her own party — can be used to create division among Democrats."
"Former FBI agent Clint Watts, author of "Messing with the Enemy: Surviving in a Social Media World of Hackers, Terrorists, Russians, and Fake News," said Gabbard has past or present positions on several issues that would be attractive to the Russian propaganda machine, and she is already popular with the U.S. "alt-left." Besides her views on Syria, she responded to reports of Russian interference in the 2016 election by saying the U.S. had interfered in foreign elections too."
"Stamos agrees that Gabbard could be used to inject pro-Russian positions into the Democratic Party's discussions and debates during primary season."
" 'We should expect the Russian intel services and troll farms to be active in the Democratic primary process,' said Stamos, 'as this provides them with the best opportunity to create the most division in American society in 2020.' "
"Josh Russell, a researcher and 'troll hunter' known for identifying fake accounts, similarly told NBC News he recently spotted a few clusters of suspicious accounts that retweeted the same exact text about Gabbard"
