Former US President Donald Trump has once again stirred the political pot with explosive claims that ex-President Barack Obama and former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard played roles in the alleged Russia collusion hoax. The accusations, made during a recent rally, have reignited debates over one of the most contentious episodes in recent American politics.
Trump’s Shocking Allegations
Speaking to a crowd of supporters, Trump doubled down on his long-standing assertion that the Russia investigation was a politically motivated witch hunt. "They knew it was a lie from the start," he declared, pointing fingers at Obama and Gabbard. "This was about undermining my presidency."
Obama’s Alleged Involvement
Trump suggested that Obama’s administration orchestrated the narrative of Russian interference to discredit his 2016 election victory. "He couldn’t accept the results, so they fabricated this whole thing," Trump claimed, without providing concrete evidence.
Tulsi Gabbard’s Controversial Role
The former president also singled out Tulsi Gabbard, a one-time Democratic presidential candidate, accusing her of being complicit in spreading the "hoax." Gabbard, known for her unconventional political stances, has yet to respond to the allegations.
Public and Political Reactions
The remarks have drawn sharp criticism from Democrats, who labelled them as baseless and divisive. Meanwhile, Trump’s base has rallied behind the claims, viewing them as further proof of a "deep state" conspiracy against the former president.
Political analysts warn that these allegations could further polarise an already fractured electorate as the next election cycle looms.
