@powerlineUS This makes no sense. Under the Constitution, “wrongdoing” is not grounds for impeachment. The standard is higher that. If Gabbard didn’t believe this higher standard was met, she should have voted against impeachment. If she believed it was, her vote should have been “yes.”
@powerlineUS Among the Democratic candidates, there’s consensus that it’s time to end “forever wars.” But only Gabbard consistently struggles to admit that Assad is one of the worst war criminals in history.
@powerlineUS Only Gabbard asserts that the United States (not Assad) is responsible for the death and destruction in Syria, that the Russian airstrikes on civilians are to be praised, that efforts to protect Syrian civilians are wrongheaded and that the United States must side with Assad.
@powerlineUS Gabbard has said her past comments have been “misunderstood.” If so, that’s because Gabbard has failed to speak with sufficient clarity about Syria and Assad. It seems to me, however, that Gabbard wants to have both ways on Assad and Syria. Just as she wants with impeachment.
