In reply to the discussion: Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to Trump: Being Saudi Arabia's B*tch Is Not 'America First.' [View all]watoos

Tulsi backs a murderer, and he is murdering his own people, but I believe Syria is in the middle of a civil war, correct? Following your logic, the reason that Saudi Arabia wants Assad removed is because Assad is a murderer, correct? How noble of SA to denounce someone who is a murderer, correct?

Are you 100% sure that Assad gassed his own people?

I'm neither fond of Rep. Gabbard, nor do I like her usage of "America First" in this context.

Educate yourself. Gabbard leans right on several issues. God, why don't you know this?

You've been here long enough to know then this is a progressive site, not right-leaning.
