Cant stand her, but some people on this board have irrational hatred for her so it must drive them nuts that the Russians are making here look like a genius:
WASHINGTON — Among Democrats running for president, Tulsi Gabbard is popular with Russian propagandists, while Joe Biden draws the most criticism, according to a new analysis.
Mentions of Gabbard, a Hawaii congresswoman, by English-language Russian propaganda outlets were 46 percent favorable and 44 percent unfavorable, a research team from the Foreign Policy Research Institute found after analyzing more than 1,700 news stories put out by Sputnik and RT. She was the only Democratic candidate with more favorable than unfavorable mentions.
References to Biden, by contrast, were 3 percent favorable and 53 percent unfavorable. The rest were neutral.
For Russia thus far, Biden is to 2020 what Hillary Clinton was to 2016, the researchers found.
"When I watched Russian state-sponsored content and social media trolling headed into election 2016, it was overwhelmingly negative toward Hillary Clinton. The same could be said today of former Vice President Biden," said Clint Watts, a former FBI agent and NBC News contributor who led the effort.
