Rep. Crow: Tulsi Gabbard Is ‘Fabricating This Conspiracy Theory’ About Obama Administration

TAPPER: “Congressman, this bipartisan Senate report that I alluded to also concluded that Russia did interfere in the 2016 election. Russia wanted Trump to win. But Gabbard said in her report, referring to the Obama Administration, ‘their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the American people.’ What’s your reaction to the report?”

CROW: “Well, listen, this — what’s actually going on here is pretty clear. You have Tulsi Gabbard, who’s been out of favor with President Trump since the intelligence agency issued battle damage assessments of the Iran strike that were not consistent with what Donald Trump was saying. So he — she’s been in hot water and been trying to get back into favor. And then you have a president in President Trump who wants people to talk about anything, anything other than the Epstein investigation, which he is very, very clearly worried about, the release of the Epstein files. So, what’s happening is Tulsi Gabbard’s trying to work her way back into the good graces of Donald Trump by fabricating this conspiracy theory to try to placate Donald Trump. That’s what this is all about.”
