Tulsi Gabbard used to be an up-and-coming superstar in the Democratic Party (“Tulsi Gabbard says she’s leaving the Democratic Party,” Web, Oct. 11). Then one day she said something contrary to party group think. With that, they canceled her. Hillary Clinton, then a top Democrat, called her a “Russian asset.” Dutifully, the party took this up as a chant.

It’s called projection, and as usual with the left’s accusations, this one probably means they themselves are Russian assets (if not Chinese assets). With this one, moreover, their behavior double dares us to doubt it.
