After Tulsi sued Hilliary, trending twatter hashtag: "#TulsiDidn'tKillHerself"

As many of you know, Tulsi Gabbard is a Democrat congresswoman who's also running for that party's presidential nomination.  In 2016 she was also vice-chair of the Democrat National Committee.

During the 2016 election, Gabbard supported socialist Bernie Sanders.  Because Gabbard has ethics, and the people who run the DNC with an iron hand aren't supposed to favor any one of the Democrat candidates before the nomination, Gabbard resigned.

Around two months ago, Hilliary Clinton gave an interview in which she accused Gabbard, in effect, of being a "Russian asset," meaning working for or to the benefit of Russia.  It was a stunning accusation to level against a military veteran, but Hilliary does have a temper, and had a long grudge against Gabbard for supporting Sanders, who was Hilliary's sole opponent for the Democrat nomination in 2016.

Well yesterday Gabbard sued Hilliary for $50 million for defamation.  Bloggers got a copy of the filing, and found a very interesting line: 

Five minutes later someone started the hashtag "#TulsiDidn'tKillHerself."  By midnight that thread had about 2000 tweets--and most were hysterically funny.   

Here's the audio of Hilliary's interview with her own campaign guy, David Plouffe, in which she calls Tulsi a "Russian asset."  Now, she doesn't literally say "Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset," but says the Republicans are "grooming someone" to be a third-party challenger.  And that the person is "she" and is a Democrat, and "a favorite of the Russians" who are supporting her with "bots and whatnot."

Then she refers to Jill Stein, saying she's "a Russian asset," before finally saying "They're Russian assets--gotta be."  Wow.



Oh, and...after the hashtag went viral ("trending"), Twatter removed it from "Trending."  Twatter founder loves Hilliary, apparently.
