This is why many have called Gabbard an Assad apologist. She fundamentally skews the dynamics of the Syrian crisis in a way that aligns with regime propaganda, voted against allowing in Syrian refugees and against condemning Assad's war crimes, and makes statements that go against the findings of human rights organisations. Gabbard adamantly rejects the label, recently telling commentator Joe Rogan in May that:
"It's the usual tactic of trying to smear or vilify me and my campaign and what I'm advocating for, uh, because they don't want to engage on the actual issue itself that I'm pointing out about how devastating and costly their policies are of continuing to wage these wasteful regime-change wars of choosing to support terrorist groups like al-Qaeda in Syria, directly in Syria, because they are the most powerful force on the ground who is fighting to take out the regime. So they are so focused on toppling this government in Syria that they are willing to actually use taxpayer dollars to provide direct and indirect support to al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria. When you think about how crazy this is, uh, it makes me angry. I think it makes most people angry."
