Yahoo Finance notes Tulsi's shift "far to the right" after leaving office.

And now she's out there helping Putin, with what Mitt Romney calls "treasonous lies." (And he's right.)

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mitt-romney-accuses-tulsi-gabbard-212850929.html

Utah Sen Mitt Romney fiercely criticised former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii on Sunday and suggested that her remarks about the existence of so-called “US biolabs” in Ukraine would result in people being killed.

The Republican senator accused his ex-House counterpart, who served as a Democrat but has shifted far to the right since leaving office, of spreading “treasonous lies” that amounted to “Russian propaganda”. His statement came in reference to a video posted by Ms Gabbard that claimed the existence of “25 to 30” US-funded biolabs that she went on to assert “if breached would release & spread deadly pathogens to US/world”.

I have to wonder how many Democrats who suddenly veered hard right after election were Putin plants. Gabbard was clearly so. Sinema is another that raises suspicions. Machin probably isn't - he's an a**hole, but he's been a consistent Democratic a**hole for a while now.

and the second highest in 2020. He got re-elected by being as far to the left as he could in a far-right state.
