.@KamalaHarris calls @TulsiGabbard an "apologist for an individual, Assad, who has murdered people in his country like cockroaches. She has embraced and been an apologist for him... I can only take her criticisms so seriously."
@KamalaHarris @TulsiGabbard Yes, everybody in my feed, Harris should have brought up Tulsi's support of Assad during the debate. Or anyone should have. It's atrocious and should be disqualifying.
To be clear, Tulsi didn’t just go to Syria and push diplomacy, as she likes to say. She toured Aleppo just after Assad had perpetrated war crimes there and she declared it a victory for peace. She helped Assad whitewash a mass atrocity.
And she praised Russian bombing of Syrian civilians. And she voted against sanctions to hold Assad accountable for war crimes. And she won't acknowledge there's TONS of evidence Assad is a war criminal. It's a disgraceful.
.@andersoncooper asks @TulsiGabbard if Assad is a torturer and murderer. Tulsi: "That's not what this is about." Cooper tries again. Tulsi: "These are things that are being used as distractions." Cooper tries a third time. Finally, she says "I don't dispute that."
@andersoncooper @TulsiGabbard .@TulsiGabbard says the Trump administration is supporting "al Qaeda" in the "city of Idlib." Cooper: "That does sound like a talking point of the Assad regime." Yup. In fact, the Assad regime and Russia are slaughtering innocent civilians in the provinces of Idlib and Hama.
@andersoncooper @TulsiGabbard I joined @BrookeBCNN on @CNNnewsroom to talk about @TulsiGabbard, @KamalaHarris, & Bashar al-Assad. Check it out:
