      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.

      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.

          Most Authentic and Presidential candidate, by far, so far. For most others, social media amplifies their phoniness.

          Tulsi met with Trump in his Tower during the 'transition'. She let him know that Syria is better off with Assad. I think he believed her, and rightly so.

          In hindsight, Syrians would be better off if the people had remained "loyal" to Assad, who acted like a "normal" dictator killing political threats, but not committing mass murder/genocide. But perhaps Assad actions in civil war made him less acceptable, even to a Machiavellian.

          Jesse Jackson was criticized exactly the same when he visited Syria in 1983, and other places as well.

          One could argue that, while the Logan Act is a dead letter, it is still not a good idea for congressmen to negotiate with hostile governments without POTUS approval. Counter-argument: that rule doesn't apply because Syrian war is illegal, since Obama & Trump didn't get AUMF.

          Web blogger comes to @TulsiGabbard defense regarding Assad. Not buying what you are selling. Her trip was only paid for by Assad allied Syrians, which she tried to hide. Wonder how she got away with that.
