Congresswoman Says US Is Arming ISIS, Introduces Bill To Stop It

Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has broken free of the corporate media’s narrative by accusing the United States of funding and arming terror groups al-Qaeda and ISIS.

“If you or I gave money, weapons or support to al-Qaeda or ISIS, we would be thrown in jail,” Gabbard tweeted on Saturday.

Most importantly, however, is her introduction of the “Stop Arming Terrorists Act,” which she presented last Thursday. In her presentation of the bill, Gabbard cited prominent publications such as the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal to show that the rebels the U.S. is supporting in Syria are aligned with al-Nusra (which is essentially al-Qaeda in Syria).

She is co-sponsoring the bill with Rep. Thomas Massie, who says the bill “would prohibit the U.S. government from using American taxpayer dollars to provide funding, weapons, training, and intelligence support to terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS, or to countries who are providing direct or indirect support to those same groups.”

These concerns are not conjectures — they can be verified by none other than suspected war criminal Tony Blair. A think tank founded by the former U.K. Prime Minister released a report in 2015 that concluded it was ultimately pointless to make a distinction between the various rebel groups on the ground since the majority of these groups share ISIS’s core belief system (and would impose Sharia law if they came into power).

Tulsi Gabbard met with Trump last week at Trump tower. Maybe He instilled some confidence in her to proceed and act on her ethics.

See, Trump exudes confidence and brings out the best in others; maybe it's catching !

Yes, it’s a dirty job reminding folks of the skullduggery, but someone’s got to do it.

LOL

I'll be willing to bet that Tulsi Gabbard is going to be a force that the eGOP are going to have to deal with in the furutre. What I didn't like about her is that she supported 'Bernie'.
Her true politics and ethics remain unknown at this time.

So 0bama, Hillary, McCain, and Graham colluded, conspired to create an entity that kills Americans (among others), and seeks our destruction.

Isn’t that treason?

“I don’t like very many democrats, but I think I like her.”

To be frank, she’s more of a republican than Graham or McCain.

Yep, political stability is actually a rarity. Whenever major events occur, heads literally do roll. That's why it was easy to detect the fake, contrived R & D 'opposition parties', because whenever one assumed power, all was forgiven for the previous administration.

However, this time around, the uni-party enemies of free people is in actual peril from a Trump administration. If the levels of corruption and treason are ever exposed for all to see, it may shock the entire nation for perhaps many generations to come.

This is what McCain is worried about...that he won’t get his cut of arms sales.
