Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) called out former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) on Sunday for “Actual Russian propaganda” after the ex-congresswoman tweeted a video claiming that the U.S. is funding more than 25 biolabs in Ukraine that are “conducting research on dangerous pathogens.”
“Actual Russian propaganda. Traitorous. Russia also said the Luger center in Georgia was making zombies. Tulsi should go to Russia,” Kinzinger wrote in a retweet of the video Gabbard published earlier that day.
Gabbard tweeted a nearly two-minute video on Sunday laying out “undeniable fact” that the U.S. funds between 25 and 30 biolabs in Ukraine that are “conducting research on dangerous pathogens.”
The New York Times conducted a fact check on Friday, which said the theory that the U.S. is funding biological weapons labs in Ukraine is “baseless.”
“There is no evidence to support the claims, which President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, the White House, the Pentagon and the State Department have all unequivocally denied,” the Times wrote, noting that the theory has been promoted by Russian state media, social media users and conservative voices.
The newspaper wrote that the U.S. has given backing to biological labs in Ukraine since 2005 “to prevent the production of biological weapons,” adding that some individuals have “misleadingly cited remarks from American officials as proof that the labs are producing or conducting research on biological weapons.”

This is a LTC in the U.S. Army Reserve (she was promoted on July 4, 2021)
When was her last background reinvestigation? Last polygraph? Financials? Was they done by the US govt?
Questions to keep in mind as you consider the military’s efforts against extremism in its ranks. https://t.co/KtkcTksXik

When Romney announced he was running for Senate, part of me said, “Oh, come on, Mitt. Hang it up already. Ride off into the sunset. Enjoy La Jolla.” I am really, really glad that he is in office. He has made SUPERB use of his term — especially in the first impeachment trial. 👍 https://t.co/UpWB5D1tpI

Please don’t call Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Candace Owens, Madison Cawthorn, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Steve Bannon, & all the others on the right “useful idiots.”
They’re not “useful idiots.” In pushing Russian propaganda, they know exactly what they’re doing.
