Hillary Clinton Pulls Out of Event Also Featuring Tulsi Gabbard

There’s a good chance this might be the last article I get to write about Hillary Clinton. I’m finding it harder and harder to reign in my utter disdain for the woman who, in my opinion, is the most corrupt politician in America to an extent that’s fit for publishing, but bear with me, because this is pure gold:

Hillary has backed out of the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, D.C. Other names slated to appear include Tulsi Gabbard.

Clinton aides cited a scheduling conflict when she announced her withdrawal from a speaking slot at the annual event. One insider told Slate that Clinton dropped out to protest the inclusion of former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielson on the schedule.

Okay, I can’t prove that she’s bailing because she’s too cowardly to face Gabbard. But the announcement came mere hours after Gabbard’s savage Twitter attack in response to Clinton’s unsubstantiated conspiracies that Tulsi is a Russian prop. The timing is suspect, to say the least, as are the conflicting stories. And I think it’s safe to say that, based on what Hillary has disclosed of her character, it wouldn’t be terribly off brand for her to be such a cry baby.

Whatever her reasoning may be for pulling out of the summit doesn’t really matter in the long run, either. The timing means that these events will inevitably be linked in everyone’s minds, so even if Hillary’s decision has nothing to do with Tulsi, Gabbard has won this round. Good.
