But Chris why are you calling out Tulsi Gabbard? Well, I’ll tell you:
She has taken a ridiculous conspiracy theory on that betrays her oath of office.
1. She blames the US for funding both Al Qaida and ISIS and not by claiming the Iraq war led to ISIS by circumstances.

1. She blames the US for funding both Al Qaida and ISIS and not by claiming the Iraq war led to ISIS by circumstances.
2. Gabbard betrayal of non-terrorist Syrian forces who are now left on the battlefield between Assad and ISIS/AQ is going to have consequences because they’ve been abandoned after fighting both.
3. Gabbard directly engages in disinformation on the topic of Syria because she was personally fed the line by Assad and failed to question the veracity of these claims. She then accused US intelligence of funding the very adversaries they’re tasked to combat. #betrayal
4. Claiming to be an advocate for peace, Gabbard instead aided a brutal dictator to attack Syrian citizens with impunity. Being a US official, she enabled ISIS/AQ to eliminate the “grey zone”
5. Gabbard May believe in her claims and cause but chose to directly engage in talks with Assad without briefing top leaders per custom in the House. Who set up this arrangement? Who sought to bring her to Assad? Why this member?
6. More curious is how her post Assad briefing was filled with proKremin talking points including (a) anyone who wasn’t with Assad is a terrorist (b) helping anti-Assad non-AQ/ISIS type groups would “lead to nuclear war with Russia” and (c) claims that US intel aid terrorism
7. If Gabbard were sincere about ending Syrian fighting, then why only meet with the admin of an accused dictator? Why not also meet with “rebels” or Riad Seif, Syrian Opposition leader? Or YPG? FSA? SDF @KinoGabriel1 or others?
8. Gabbard violated the Logan Act, House rules, failed to give notice of trip funding (by proAssad allied org), nor consulted State Dept.

9. Last, Gabbard has become a favorite go to by RU/Assad apologists yet says nothing about Assad or RU military actions against civilians in Syria (undermining her peace narrative)
She now won’t debate her challengers like @SherryForHawaii (very democratic of her)
