Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) said Friday she was "skeptical" that Syrian leader Bashar Assad's regime was behind this week's chemical weapons attack in northern Syria.
"There are a number of theories that are out there," Gabbard said during an interview on CNN's "The Situation" when addressing who was behind the attack.
Gabbard pointed to false intelligence reports about weapons of mass destruction used to justify the Iraq War under President George W. Bush as an example of how the intelligence assessments can produce inaccurate information.
"There are a number of ways that you can point the finger," she said.
Pressed to specify if Assad was responsible for civilian deaths in Syria, as the U.S. and Western leaders have maintained, Gabbard said that responsibility "goes around."
"There is responsibility that goes around ... again, my interest is in bringing about peace. Standing here and pointing fingers does not accomplish peace for the Syrian people," she said.
Asked if she would change her mind if the Pentagon would present her with hard evidence that Assad was behind the chemical attack, the lawmaker replied "no."
Gabbard has been a lightning rod for criticism over her position on Syria, with her decision to meet with Assad in January drawing disgust from members of both parties.
The Iraq War veteran, who serves as a prominent member of both the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees, argued the meeting was part of her push to expedite a peaceful resolution to Syria's years-old conflict.
Gabbard argued Friday that President Trump's decision to launch a missile strike against Syrian government forces the previous day in response to the gas attack was "reckless."
"It made me sad and it made me angry to see that President Trump took this reckless action without really considering, frankly, the dire consequences," she said.

>Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D–HI) said, "This escalation is short-sighted and will lead to more dead civilians, more refugees, the strengthening of al-Qaeda and other terrorists, and a possible nuclear war between the United States and Russia."
wtf I love Tulsi now
Levi Morris
shes so fucking hot
Michael Brooks
She's pretty redpilled on foreign policy and Islam but she's progressive as fuck when it comes to domestic matters. She will shut down the alt-right before you can say "white ethnostate."
What really matters is that she is one of the few legitimately attractive women serving in congress, so she have the thirsty beta vote locked down. Perfect Sup Forums candidate.
Joseph Anderson
Doesn't she have military experience? She's pretty sharp when it comes to that stuff. She was a Sanders fan but I think it was mostly the repulsive thought of having Clinton as a nominee. Anyway, she's the sort of Democrat I would vote for over a neo-con, but otherwise is just someone I think can actually be worked with, unlike most of the party.
Aaron Green
so kinda like a national socialist or some sort?
Andrew Davis
If by National Socialist you mean someone who supports the faggots at Standing Rock as well as expanding rights for illegal immigrants and the LGBTQIA++++++ community, then yes she's as NatSoc as a Hawaiian Hindu can get.
Anthony Lee
Why is it so hard to get a right-wing paleoconservative nationalist? That's all i fucking ask for.
Daniel Campbell
Tulsi Gabbard for President.
She was on Tucker tonight. She has such a seductive tone to her voice.
I want to have sex with her. She's so hot.
Robert Walker
We are suffering for the sin of not electing Pat Buchanan back in the 90s, I'm afraid.
Charles Clark
>ywn live in a Pat Buchanan America
Benjamin Wilson
I like the fact that she is a qt3.14 and actually seems to think critically on foreign policy and isn't just a shill.
I wouldn't vote for her though.
Jaxson Gray
Could you link to her support of Standing Rock, illegal immigrants, and LGBT people? Just curious to hear her opinions on things.
Grayson Evans
Here, maybe a picture which speaks to a simpler, nobler time while simultaneously promising carnal delights will cheer you up.

Gross man, shes cool but shes all brown and poo looking

>omg Justin Cuckdeau is so dreamy and cute he'll be a great Prime Minister
Gavin Hill
> Glass stegall I agree > Tpp I agree > sequestration Typical liberal with the idealogy tha we don't need a balanced budge, but she supports big military. > Poo in loos important to her absolute disgust > Middle east She isn't a good goy so that's good > Environment She's for the meme issues which is annoying, I'd like to see if she'd support nuclear instead of being a faggot liberal against it. > Medicare Her plan wouldn't work, the pharmaceuticals industry needs to be regulated not worked with. They're a bunch of thieving kikes and don't deserve leeway. > Abortion and birth control I agree > Immigration Absolutely disgusting > Lgbt issues For the most part the governemnt should stay out, she's right and I agree with her about kikes trying to make kids question their sexuality with (((studies))). I like how this section has a lot written it instead of more important shit because faggots are pathetic.
She's pretty ok, with that being said she won't win. Liberals can't be reasonable and vote for someone like her they have to double down on lgbt shit and race baiting politicians. They don't want someone that will work across the aisle.
