  • Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard's past sympathies for ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime are under scrutiny as she looks to shore up support on Capitol Hill for her nomination to become President-elect Donald Trump's director of national intelligence.

The article discusses the sudden collapse of Assad's rule in Syria and the subsequent scrutiny faced by Tulsi Gabbard, a former U.S. Representative and presidential candidate, due to her previous statements and actions regarding the Syrian conflict. Gabbard, who visited Syria in 2017 and met with President Assad, has been criticized for her views that appeared to downplay the atrocities committed by the Assad regime. Her stance, which included advocating for a non-interventionist approach and questioning the mainstream narrative about the Syrian civil war, has come under renewed examination as the Assad regime's control weakened. Critics argue that her positions might have indirectly supported Assad's regime, while supporters see her as a voice for peace and against U.S. military involvement. The article explores how her past comments and actions are now being re-evaluated in light of the changing dynamics in Syria.
