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
