      Tulsi Gabbard is being introduced to the wider public almost exclusively as an "apologist" for Assad. Other criticisms may be valid, but this central attack is baseless and epitomizes the worst kind of de-legitimizing tactics. My @NYDailyNews column:https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-the-baseless-vilification-of-tulsi-gabbard-20190117-story.html …

      The most common word being associated with Tulsi right now in the media is "Assad," usually followed by "apologist," "defender," or in @clairecmc's case, "bestie." That's why it's necessary to focus on the insidiousness of this smear, notwithstanding other (reasonable) concerns

          I interviewed both Tulsi and Dennis Kucinich (who accompanied her on the Syria trip) shortly after they returned in early 2017, as the quotes in the above column demonstrate. And I will be writing more on the subject, because it's important. If you don't like it, tough.

          By taking that trip, Gabbard exposed herself to extreme political risk, knowing how cynically and maliciously it would inevitably be portrayed. Which is more that can be said for most politicians. Again: some lines of criticisms are perfectly reasonable. But this smear is odious.

          If she was a on a diplomatic mission to Syria then why was it not sponsored by the US. Instead it was funded by two Lebanese businessmen who are part of an Assad affiliated political party. Her visit violated the Logan Act and was universally panned by both parties. #TulsiGottaGopic.twitter.com/Ncpn1Kkkzc

          Except she isn't pro Assad. She is anti US intervention. I think it's an important distinction to make as @mtracey notes she is being smeared as an Assad apologist when she clearly has called him a terrible person.

          Nobody played the political smear game better than HRC, although much has rubbed off onto a large number of her partners in crime. 3 1/2yrs since @realDonaldTrump decided to run attests to that. @TulsiPress is in for a rough ride. Will she have the @POTUS grit to withstand it?

          The sanctimonious opposing of Tulsi for pretended humanitarian reasons are hilarious since they're probably just pissed because she tried to find peaceful solutions in Syria instead of prolonging the war by giving an opposition led by Al Qaeda billions worth of heavy weapons.

          Once again, you've completely omitted the very REAL concerns the Left has with her. Including,apparently, approving of gay conversion therapy until as late as 2015.
