In January, Gabbard met with Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus. When host Tucker Carlson asked if she believed Assad‘s forces to be responsible for the chemical weapons attack that precipitated the missile strikes, Gabbard answered, „It doesn’t matter what I believe or not. What matters is evidence and facts.

„If the Trump administration has the evidence, unequivocally proving this, then share it with the American people,“ Gabbard continued. „Share it with Congress. Come to Congress and make your case before launching an unauthorized, illegal military strike against a foreign government.“
