Gabbard met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in 2017 and two years later she said he was 'not the enemy' of the U.S.
Former U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for the director of national intelligence, has previously said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad 'is not the enemy of the United States,' which may give a glimpse into how she will handle issues in Syria if she's confirmed by the U.S. Senate as insurgents seized the Middle Eastern country's largest city of Aleppo on Saturday.
'In 2017, Assad dismissed reports of a recent chemical attack on a rebel-held town in the Idlib province that killed over 90 people and injured dozens more as '100% fabrication,' despite numerous eyewitness accounts to the contrary.Assad has been accused of committing human rights violations, but Gabbard has voiced her opposition to supporting regime change in Syria.
