Russia Today: Democratic presidential hopeful Tulsi Gabbard slammed MSNBC – and mainstream media in general – for dredging up her meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad every time she goes on TV, calling the endless repetition “propaganda.
“Every time I come back on MSNBC you guys talk to me about [Assad],” Gabbard said, clearly exasperated but not losing her composure. “It sounds to me like these are talking points that Kamala Harris and her campaign are feeding you, because she’s refusing to address the questions that were posed to her,” she continued as the host stammered and tried to interject.

9 out of 10 times when Tulsi appears on MSNBC, the subject of Assad is brought up. Even if you think her meeting is somehow disqualifying, the endless repetition of this one talking point at the expense of all other issues is a classic propaganda tactic https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1157015698217918464 …

Tulsi Gabbard explodes on MSNBC after they repeatedly press her for meeting Bashar al-Assad, who gasses children: “these are talking points that Kamala Harris and her campaign are feeding you because she’s refusing to address the questions”
Gabbard claims it’s “propaganda”
Marveling that “every single time for three years” she’s appeared on television she has been confronted with the dreaded ‘Assad visit,’ Gabbard finally shut down the hyperverbal host.
This is where the propaganda comes in.
Gabbard isn’t exaggerating – it’s hard to find a clip of her from the last three years that hasn’t included some self-righteous pundit insisting she condemn Assad for “gassing his own people” or “gassing children.” While Assad is largely supported by the people of Syria, at least outside the areas controlled by US-backed militant groups, Gabbard has been wary of saying anything nice about one of the US’ favorite bogeymen. Even so, she is routinely attacked as an “Assad apologist” by Western media.
The Hawaii congresswoman has explained herself hoarse that she met with Assad in the hope of working out a path to peace in the country. She has also made it clear that the Syrians she met with were united in their pleas for the US to stop funding the so-called “moderate rebels” that have laid waste to much of the country. Yet in Groundhog Day-like fashion, every time Gabbard appears in front of a TV camera, the host insists she denounce Assad and will not stop needling her until she does.

We have created the greatest, ‘Human Flood’, since WW2, that today is engulfing Europe! America, since Bush the First to Trump, today has become a Colonial terror State! This is not what our, our Founding Fathers had in mind, by our; “CONSTITUTION” and ‘The Declaration of Independence.’ We have to shake off the Yoke of Zionism!! Peace! Salam! Shalom!
Assad gassed his own people. Why can’t anyone just say, No he did not.
Good for Tulsi! It’s about time someone took on the Zionist controlled press. Seems Camel Toe Harris is following in the footsteps of her beloved queen Hillary.
Is there anyone left in the main stream media that contributes enough positive things to humanity to deserve a job beyond asking “would you like fries with that”?
