Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) on Sunday took to Twitter to denounce former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s statements on the war in Ukraine. “Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda,” he wrote. “Her treasonous lies may well cost lives.” Clips of the Hawaii Democrat on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight are being showcased across Russia’s government-controlled media outlets to defend the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In the clips, host Tucker Carlson suggests “Russian disinformation” is “true” and Gabbard discusses biological and chemical weapons that may be in Ukraine. Gabbard also suggests there may be a deliberate cover-up to hide dangerous pathogens in Ukrainian labs.
#Russia's state TV showcases clips of Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard, helping to perpetuate the myth of dangerous "bio-weapons" in Ukraine. This conspiracy theory is being spread by Russia's state TV with special zeal.#TuckyoRosepic.twitter.com/csMPrb0ncF
