<p>Vulnerable Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) made an attempt on Saturday to use former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (HI) — who recently severed ties with the Democratic Party — to tie her Republican opponent to Russian President Vladimir Putin.</p>
<p><a href="https://dailywire.com/news/i-will-do-the-campaigning-myself-democrat-rep-wont-ask-biden-to-join-her-on-the-trail/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spanberger</a> shared a photo of Gabbard standing with congressional hopeful Yesli Vega (R-VA) — who is running to unseat Spanberger — and claimed that Vega shared the former 2020 presidential candidate&#8217;s support with both Putin and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.</p>
<p>&#8220;What do Russia&#8217;s Vladimir Putin, Syria&#8217;s Bashar al-Assad, and Yesli Vega have in common?&#8221; Spanberger asked before providing the answer to her own question: &#8220;Tulsi Gabbard supports them.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">What do Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, and Yesli Vega have in common?</p>
<p>Tulsi Gabbard supports them. <a href="https://t.co/oBfU0ijtKT">pic.twitter.com/oBfU0ijtKT</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Abigail Spanberger (@SpanbergerForVA) <a href="https://twitter.com/SpanbergerForVA/status/1583909466059046913?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 22, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Spanberger has a tenuous hold on her seat in Virginia&#8217;s 7th Congressional District — a seat once held by former Congressmen Eric Cantor (R-VA) and Dave Brat (R-VA). The seat is currently labeled a &#8220;<a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2022/house/elections-map.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">toss-up</a>&#8221; on the latest congressional projection map posted by RealClearPolitics.</p>
<p>Spanberger has been vocal in the past about the fact that her district is relatively moderate, complaining to Democratic leadership that radical progressive slogans like &#8220;Defund the Police&#8221; put members like herself at risk as they try to hold onto their slim majority in November&#8217;s midterm elections.</p>
<p>But her attempt to tie Vega to Russia and Syria caught some backlash, and critics responded but suggesting it might be a bit of a reach.</p>
<p>&#8220;What do Spanberger and Nancy Pelosi have in common?&#8221; Caleb Max asked, answering, &#8220;Everything because Spanberger votes 100% party line. #notamoderate.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Cheap shot. McCarthyism from our new Security State,&#8221; former White House reporter Jim Stinson <a href="https://twitter.com/jimstinson/status/1583990221753810944" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>.</p>
<p>Spanberger&#8217;s attack on Gabbard echoes accusations made by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who attempted to paint Gabbard as a &#8220;Russian asset&#8221; on several occasions.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate,&#8221; Clinton <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/18/politics/hillary-clinton-tulsi-gabbard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> during the 2020 primary. &#8220;She’s the favorite of the Russians.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gabbard, it should be noted, likely fueled some discontent in Clinton&#8217;s camp during the 2016 election when she <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/ex-dnc-official-they-warned-me-not-turn-hillary-aaron-bandler/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resigned her leadership role</a> in the Democratic National Committee in order to endorse Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) over Clinton in the primary.</p>
