What is Tulsi Gabbard actually doing on Russia?

Tulsi Gabbard ran for president in 2020 as a Democrat. Which makes what she has been saying and doing of late all the more odd.

Consider:

1) Just as Russia was invading Ukraine last week, Gabbard sent out this decidedly pro-Russia tweet: "This war and suffering could have easily been avoided if Biden Admin/NATO had simply acknowledged Russia's legitimate security concerns regarding Ukraine's becoming a member of NATO, which would mean US/NATO forces right on Russia's border."

2) Over the weekend, Gabbard spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference -- not exactly friendly ground for most Democrats. "They're hypocrites," Gabbard said of the leaders of her party in the speech. "They proclaim that we must go to war to spread democracy and freedom while they actively work to undermine our democratic republic and our freedoms right here at home."

You'll remember that in 2019, Hillary Clinton said this of Gabbard: "I'm not making any predictions, but I think they've got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate. She's the favorite of the Russians."

And Hillary never mentioned Tulsi Gabbard's name. She outed herself.

Mental seizures were the result.

... she appears often on Tuckums' show - she is probably getting paid as a consultant. She could go to Russia and cover the war for Tuckums.

Kind of like how that Russian asset Jill Stein does the same thing with her front group green party.
