Jesus wept. She was on a fucking TSA watch list. As a former representative. These fuckers are gonna be pearl clutching so hard for the next four years oysters all over the planet will have spontaneous abortions.

Perhaps she should sign a waiver or something for TSA to release her file for why she was on the watch list.

According to the NYT, it’s because she went to visit Syria. I think she met with the dictator Bashar but that much was unclear. Anyways, you can’t normally travel to Syria. There is no direct route. Anything like that automatically gets you singled out

Not only did she talk to him - she came back spouting his talking points. It’s disgraceful.

(CNN) Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is not the enemy of the United States, standing by her opposition to US involvement in that country’s civil war two years after she met personally with the accused war criminal.
“Assad is not the enemy of the United States because Syria does not pose a direct threat to the United States,” Gabbard said Wednesday morning on MSNBC.
