Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), a former vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), called the 2016 Democratic primary “unethical” on Thursday in response to an exposé on the party’s ties to the Clinton campaign.

“Today we heard from Donna Brazile that what many suspected for a long time, is actually true: the DNC secretly chose their nominee over a year before the primary elections even occurred, turning over DNC control to the Clinton campaign,” Gabbard said in a statement Thursday, calling the 2016 primary “rigged.”

“The deep financial debt, closed door decision-making, complete lack of transparency, and unethical practices are now front and center,” she added.
