Democrats are calling for the immediate resignation of Congresswoman Tusli Gabbard, after she posted the truth about what is really going on in Syria.
Tulsi Gabbard claims Trump’s missile strike in Syria was “illegal and unconstitutional” when she appeared on the Tucker Carlson on Fox last week. She said that White House claims about Assad gassing his own people were “lies” and that bombing Syria would strengthen terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
Following these claims, Neera Tanden, President of the Center of American Progress and close friend of Hillary campaign chair John Podesta, slammed Gabbard on Twitter, demanding that she resign immediately.

Zerohedge.com reports:
Of course, we’re almost certain that Neera’s comments had nothing to do with the fact that Gabbard was one of the few House democrats to throw her support behind Bernie Sanders in the 2016 presidential election rather than Tanden’s chosen candidate, Hillary.
Nevertheless, here is Gabbard speaking with Wolf Blitzer of CNN who, like many of his colleagues in the MSM, seems to suddenly be very trusting of the Trump administration.
Rep. Gabbard: “Yes, I’m skeptical” of claim Assad regime is behind chemical weapons attack https://t.co/fETssThsLF https://t.co/fpYdUNR2t4

Gabbard, who sits on the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees, drew criticism earlier this year when she took a somewhat mysterious trip alone to meet with Assad in Syria without alerting House Speaker Paul Ryan. The liberal Democrat subsequently explained she simply wanted to engage in dialogue with Assad though it clearly burned some bridges within her own party.
Per CNN:
Gabbard told CNN on Friday that she wants to achieve peace in Syria, “Why should we just blindly follow this escalation of a counterproductive regime-change war?”
“There’s responsibility that goes around,” Gabbard said.”Standing here pointing fingers does not accomplish peace for the Syrian people. It will not bring about an end to this war.”
Meanwhile, former DNC chair Howard Dean also decided to join in on ganging up on Gabbard, but he immediately got shut down by a follower who asked the obvious question of why engaging in dialogue was disqualifying for Gabbard but violating federal record retention laws and a Congressional subpoena was perfectly fine for Hillary.
This is a disgrace. Gabbard should not be in Congress. https://t.co/yDTh43GZam

Engaging in dialogue isn't the problem. It's claiming there is doubt Assad uses chemical warfare. She sounds like Trump making excuses

It’s becoming increasingly clear that Gabbard is just another Putin puppet who likely assisted Russian hackers in their efforts to take down Hillary…we sincerely hope the Congress launches an immediate investigation.

Democratic political hypocrites on parade should all resign from politics.
The neocons are scared of her. Afraid her speaking the truth might derail their gravy train.
Neoliberals as well.
Gabbard is our best choice in 2020-Hillary should be ashamed of her lazy self for giving us the idiot in the WH.
