" A few months after #Gabbard’s visit, the Assad regime massacred scores of civilians with chemical weapons... #Trump said: “There can be no dispute that Syria used banned chemical weapons.”
Except from...Tulsi Gabbard. On the day of the Khan Sheikhon attack, Gabbard somehow already knew she was 'skeptical' that the Assad regime was responsible. This reflexive position...contradicted U.S. and French intelligence."

"When President Donald #Trump named Russel Vought to run the Office of Management and Budget, I warned it was a sign that his administration intended to seize total control of federal spending from Congress.
