Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) ripped President Trump for approving an airstrike against Iran’s top general, calling the attack "an act of war."

“Make no mistake: Trump’s actions are an act of war,” Gabbard, a presidential candidate, said in an email to supporters. “Taken without any authorization or declaration of war from Congress, seriously escalating this tit for tat conflict, pushing us deeper into an endless quagmire and dangerously undermining our national security.”

Gabbard, an Iraq War veteran, has hinged much of her White House bid on ending America’s military involvements abroad and withdrawing troops from the Middle East.

“We need to get out of Iraq and Syria now. That is the only way that we're going to prevent ourselves from being dragged into this quagmire, deeper and deeper into a war with Iran,” the Hawaii Democrat tweeted Friday.

1. E-Tulsnia Gabbard full on loves Putin. Nobody wants to be in Syria or Iraq.

Not dems. Not anyone from the-party-that-likes-inadequate-health plans-for-middle-class-and-working-class-americans.

2. She seems to be seriously anti-war, especially by us in the Middleeast.

The issue though is that in doing that, she turns a blind eye to Russia's activities there and to monsters like Assad.
