Democrats have criticized former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) for meeting with then-Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in 2017, but their own leaders — including then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) — did so as well, for years.
In addition to Pelosi, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) also met with Assad, in the wake of the former’s failed presidential campaign. Kerry and his wife were later seen dining with Assad and his wife, ignoring the dictator’s brutal rule.
In 2012, Breitbart News published a “rogues’ gallery” of photographs of American politicians who had met with Assad. Most were Democrats, but the list included a small number of Republicans as well. The purpose for such visits was at first to present an alternative to the George W. Bush administration’s policy of isolating Assad, and then, under President Barack Obama, to attempt to build relations with Assad as part of outreach to the Arab and Muslim world.

I remember the photo of Pelosi meeting with Assad. Her meeting was set up for one purpose: embarrass President George W. Bush.
2007 I think
kerry isn't any better.
Guessing those meetings didn’t go very well...
Yes - here’s an ad that ran about that: https://youtu.be/uGU0bE4GKVY?si=fsztBYj2KY5VRQfl&t=9
This.
And obama never outreached to Assad because of the “ Arab” world.
More because of the Iranian infiltration into his administration…and good ol’ hatred for Isael
Clearly the Democrats have always kissed-up to Putin and Assad.
What changed that Obama started regime change in Syria?
In the past, Russia would come to Assad’s defense.
So what did Obama do? Get Russia entangled in a war in Ukraine.
That left Syria without Russia’s defense against American-backed and armed Al Qaeda.
Like Ukraine, Syria is rich in oil and gas.....energy that Europe needs if they are to stop buying Russian energy.
The Washington DC (Geriatric) version of
“When Harry Met Sally” .
Complete with Nancy’s enactment of Sally’s infamous restaurant scene, after which, a lady at a nearby table says : “I’ll have what she’s having!’
- - You have it completely backwards on Obama’s approach to Assad.

Thank you for the link. I had not seen that video before.
Nancy Pelosi did many things that were only geared to attack or embarrass the opposition party. Less than 3% of her actions were used to help Americans. She is a scam artist or a con woman.
John Kerry was just selling Ketchup.
I remember the San Francisco Treat’s meeting w/ Assad. Couldn’t believe she’d gone and done that.
I could not agree with your more. Excellent observations!
Sweet dreams of you Dreams I know can't come true Why can't I forget the past Start loving someone new Instead of having sweet dreams about you
