More power to Tulsi. More than the money, it's about sending a message to people like Hillary to think twice before spouting unfounded smears in public for political reasons.
And before you call her a POS, look up her record and go listen her speak for 10 minutes. She's smart, fiercely independent, principled, and a patriot in every sense of the word.
Yep, giving Assad a meeting is really patriotic.

"“Like the Russians, Iranians and the Assad regime, Tulsi sees the Syrian people struggling for dignity as terrorists, despite the facts,” said Mouaz Moustafa, executive director of the Syrian Emergency Task Force, who was Gabbard’s guide on that 2015 trip.
That bias, combined with her long record of defending the Assad regime and parroting its propaganda, form the basis for the assertion Gabbard has “embraced and been an apologist for” Assad, as Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) said Wednesday post-debate on CNN. Harris also said she doesn’t take Gabbard seriously.
But Gabbard’s candidacy should be taken very seriously — not because she has a significant chance of being president, but because her narrative on Syria is deeply incorrect, immoral and un-American. If it were adopted by her party and the country, it would lead the United States down a perilous moral and strategic path."
A "patriot" does not condone Assad's and Russia's actions like she has.
