"Gabbard flew secretly to Syria in mid-January of that year— the first member of Congress to do so since 2011, when Syrian forces gunned down peaceful protestors and imprisoned thousands of others during the height of the Arab Spring. The ensuing conflict between anti-Assad forces and the Syrian military was unspeakably brutal — and became even more so in 2015 when Russia’s Vladimir Putin dispatched special forces and aircraft to bombard pockets of “rebel” resistance in towns like Aleppo.But Gabbard was unmoved by the indiscriminate Russian bombing or Assad’s repeated use of chemical weapons against his own people. Her trip— privately funded by a Cleveland-based Arab American group sympathetic to Assad— turned into a propaganda coup for the Syrian regime. Gabbard had two meetings with Assad, revealing nothing (then or since) about what they actually said to each other."
