Goddamnit. On a recent secret trip to Syria, Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawai’i) met with Assad. I guess she wasn’t satisfied with talking to a wanna be authoritarian like Trump, and finally got the real deal.
It would be funny if it weren’t for...the very, very many people dead at Assad’s hands.
Here’s the link...CNN
Here’s her explanation.
"When the opportunity arose to meet with him, I did so because I felt that it's important that if we profess to truly care about the Syrian people, about their suffering, then we've got to be able to meet with anyone that we need to if there is a possibility that we can achieve peace," the Hawaiian congresswoman said.
"(The Syrians) asked me, 'Why are the United States and its allies supporting these terror groups which are destroying Syria, when it was al Qaeda that attacked the United States on 9/11, not Syria.' I didn't have an answer to them."
Listen, I am not going to say that US policy is any fucking good in Syria. Its a clusterfuck. But this part I do know...Assad ain’t the good guy, and nobody should be meeting with him and parroting his talking points.
So please, Hawai’i...could you primary this goddamn idiot.
PS I don’t care what her relationship was in regard to the 2016 primary. Its over. With luck Gabbard’s political career will be as well.
