Democratic presidential candidate and congresswoman from Hawaii Tulsi Gabbard, appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” last week, repeatedly defended Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, refusing to denounce him either as an “enemy” or even an “adversary.”
“Assad is not the enemy of the United States because Syria does not pose a direct threat to the United States,” declared Gabbard, who had previously met with Assad. “We have to look to who poses a threat to the United States.”
