My initial thought is she seems to be buying too much into her own Hype.

She is not alt-right. She denounced David Duke when he endorsed her for SOS.

Oh how bold. There's a reason why Steve Bannon likes her, and there's a reason she's refusing to say who paid for this trip

She might be, but if so it's not due to her having meetings with particularly unpleasant dictators.

Btw, Gabbard just posted this account of her trip to Syria:

And she also posted some pics like this on her FB page:

Why does she get so much hate on this forum? It seems like this website is dedicated to ensuring she loses every single election in the future and keeping her out of politics for as long as possible. THis is the same frothing-at-the-mouth hatred everyone had a go at Trump supporters for.

So what if she met Assad? He's a damn sight better that ISIS. No she is not a homophobe or Islamophobe. However, if we use that logic, we can call Hillary a white supremacist for being close with Robert Byrd or working for Barry Goldwater. Or we could call Obama a traitor because Jeremiah Wright.

Seriously, just lay off. You're all so obsessed with wanting to see her fail that soon enough, that will become your sole objective.

Tulsi Gabbard is an ethnic minority.  The alt-right will never support her.

Sorry I have a serious problem with a U.S congresswoman meeting with a dictator currently in the middle of committing heinous war crimes.  Totally the same as Hillary meeting with a sitting senator though, sure.....

they already do, but you're not paying attention.

That headline is god damn disgusting and orwellian - "The Syrian People want peace". Which might be true, but mostly because they want Assad to stop killing them.

Well Byrd was a KKK member. Did the KKK not commit heinous crimes too? Or is all that just an invention of history?

I'm not denying that Assad is a bad person, but if he goes, ISIS takes over. It's that simple. I have no problem with a Congresswoman meeting with him if Obama can meet with Saudi leaders and not cop flak for it.

I'm just tired of seeing this frothing-at-the-mouth hatred for her. Seriously, half the time it seems like you guys want to see her lose every future election she's in. The other half the time is just blind hatred for her. Does she have some problems? Of course. However, unlike what seems like 80% of the people on here, that doesn't reduce me to a foaming, frothy mess who is obsessed with seeing her fail.

She's an ethnic Samoan from Hawaii. They'd probably be fine with that.

Of course, Gabbard is much superior to Duke.

Stop with the stupid strawman arguments.

This story is exactly why a lot of us find Tulsi Gabbard unacceptable. Trying to make it seem less bad wont help your case.

-Did you find Hillary Clinton unacceptable when she met with Poroshenko, who has been responsible for the deaths of thousands in his futile attempt to suppress the rebellion in Donbass?

If I met Assad that monster would not come out alive of the meeting.  She does not share the Democratic Party's values, even if she endorsed Bernie and is young.
