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).

Hillary and Obama created ISIS. It's only fair that they would fund them. </sar>
let’s ask Klownie the Kenyan and Hitlery...
Good for her. Have seen her on TV a couple of times.
I don’t like very many democrats, but I think I like her.
What about John McCain and Lindsey Graham? Are they part of the horror?
McCain, Graham, and Rubio are contemplating a suit to be placed on the top billing...
McCain, Graham and Rubio were also involved in arming jihadists.
Let’s not ignore the bipartisan support this stupidity had.
This is one of the main reasons that the left has gone loco. Sessions is chomping at the bit to destroy this operation and those who have enabled it.
90 seconds ;)
Long overdue !
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 !
Why did you add a sarcasm tag? That’s literally the truth
It’s interesting how, since Trump won, all these whistleblowers are crawling out of the woodwork.
What?
Did people only figure this stuff out OVERNIGHT?
What about John McCain and Lindsey Graham? Are they part of the horror?
and charged with treason. So much for equal justice for the government elites who have committed treason.
Obama Clinton McCain, for starters
Or maybe he missed a few intelligence briefings...like about 1500??
“Did people only figure this stuff out OVERNIGHT?”
Soon to be President Trump has made them feel safe to do this stuff. Under Obama/Lynch, the whistleblowers could go to jail.
Gabbard is a progressive-leftist who was an early supporter of Sanders.
She doesn’t seem to be totally in synch with the leftist oligarchy though
When the Hell did this Congress woman wake up? Hillary and Obama created ISIS. As well as Mccain. There are photos of that asshat.
