>> Sandra: ESCALATING FEUD
FEATURING A 2020 DEMOCRAT AND
MEMBER OF CONGRESS AND THE
CANDIDATE WHO LOST IN 2016.
TULSI GABBARD STRIKING BACK AT
COMMENTS MADE BY HILLARY
CLINTON.
WELCOME TO A BRAND-NEW HOUR OF
"AMERICA'S NEWSROOM," I'M
SANDRA SMITH.
>> THE BATTLE LINES DAWN.
IN 2016 TULSI GABBARD ENDORSED
BERNIE SANDERS OVER THE
EVENTUAL NOMINEE HILLARY.
FAST FORWARD TO NOW AND A
HEATED WAR OF WORDS IS UNDERWAY.
HAWAII CONGRESSWOMAN RELEASING
A DEFIANT NEW VIDEO AFTER
CLINTON IMPLIED SHE IS A
RUSSIAN ASSET.
>> IF THEY CAN FALSELY FOR PRAY
ME AS A TRAITOR THEY CAN TO
ANYONE.
IF YOU STAND UP AGAINST HILLARY
AND THE PARTY POWER BROKERS AND
THE POWERFULLY LET AND WAR
MACHINE THEY WILL DESTROY YOU
AND DISCREDIT YOUR MESSAGE.
HERE IS THE TRUTH.
THEY WILL NOT IN IN DES MOINES,
IOWA.
PETER.
>> TULSI GABBARD IS HERE IN
IOWA UNDERCUTTING CLINTON'S
MAIN CLAIM NOT JUST THAT
GABBARD IS SOME SORT OF RUSSIAN
ASSET BEING GROOMED TO RUN IN
THE ELECTION BUT THAT SHE IS
BEING GROOMED BY THE RUSSIANS
TO RUN AS A THIRD PARTY TO HELP
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
>> ARE YOU RUNNING AS A THIRD
PARTY CANDIDATE?
>> I HAVE SAID OVER AND OVER
THE ANSWER IS NO.
ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT WHAT
I'VE ALREADY SAID.
>> AND HILLARY CLINTON HAS NOT
JOINED THE PRIMARY LIKE GABBARD
CHALLENGED HER TO DO ON TALKING
BUT STILL TALKING ABOUT RUSSIA
WANTING TO HELP PRESIDENT TRUMP
BY COPY AND PASTING A LETTER ON
A JIMMIE KIMMEL SHOW WHICH
TRIES TO PARODY A RECENT LETTER
FROM TRUMP TO ERDOGAN BY
TALKING ABOUT THE CUBAN MISSILE
CRISIS.
DEMOCRATS DON'T SEEM TO BE
LAUGHING AT ANY OF THIS AND
SEEM PARTICULARLY UNIMPRESSED
WITH CLINTON'S ACCUSATIONS
ABOUT GABBARD.
>> I WOULD PREFER TO HAVE THE
CONVERSATION BE ABOUT POLICY
AND WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO AND
HOW AMERICAN LIVES WILL BE
DIFFERENT.
WHEN IT COMES TO ANY OF MY
DEMOCRATIC COMPETITORS, THAT'S
MY FOCUS.
MAKING SURE THAT WE MAKE VERY
CLEAR THE DIFFERENCES AND THERE
ARE VERY REAL DIFFERENCES AMONG
US.
AND MAKING IT CLEAR TO VOTERS
WHAT THEIR CHOICES ARE.
THAT'S WHERE I WOULD LIKE THE
FOCUS TO BE.
>> GABBARD AND CLINTON COULD
HAVE HASHED SOME OF THIS OUT
FACE-TO-FACE THIS WEEK AT AN
EVENT SALUTING POWERFUL WOMEN
BUT CLINTON BACKED OUT OF THE
EVENT.
ONE OF HER AIDES TOLD SLATE
MAGAZINE CLINTON DIDN'T WANT TO
BE ON THE BILL WITH KIR STEN
