Last week Daily Kos reported that former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard received a donation to her 2020 presidential campaign from an alleged Russian agent. To double down on her suspicious relationship with the Kremlin, Gabbard turned to Twitter to announce a bizarre conspiracy theory about U.S.-funded biological laboratories in Ukraine… apparently mimicking Russian-backed talking points.
Gabbard claimed the "undeniable facts" that there are 35 to 40 "U.S. funded biolabs" in Ukraine currently conducting research into dangerous pathogens. She pretended to be extremely concerned that these "deadly pathogens" could be released if Russia targeted them.
"Like COVID, these pathogens know no borders," Gabbard said. "If they are inadvertently or purposely breached or compromised, they will quickly spread all throughout Europe, the United States, and the rest of the world, causing untold suffering and death."
