Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) and current Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) trade barbs over her suggestion that NATO should work to negotiate a ceasefire amid Russia-Ukraine conflict.
QUICK FACTS:
Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) pushed back against Utah Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT)’s suggestion that she was “treasonous,” according to Breitbart News.
The former democratic representative’s loyalty was called into question over her suggestion that Russia, Ukraine, and NATO allies work to negotiate a ceasefire around U.S.-funded biological research facilities.
Gabbard cited the possibility of an outbreak of deadly pathogens as her motivation for pushing NATO toward the warring nation’s peace talks.
WHAT THE LAWMAKERS SAID:
“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.”
“These labs need to be shut down immediately and the pathogens that they hold need to be destroyed,” she added.
Gabbard was quickly called out by more than one public figure with Romney saying, “Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda. Her treasonous lies may well cost lives,” the senator said.
Gabbard responded Monday: “Senator Romney, you’ve called me a treasonous liar simply for stating the fact that there are over 25 US-funded bio labs in Ukraine, which, if breached, would release and spread deadly pathogens across the United States and the world. They must be secured so that we can prevent any new pandemics from occurring,” she said.
