A Hawaii congresswoman who took heat for a recent meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is blasting President Trump for taking military action in the war-torn country. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, who met with Assad in January, slammed the president for the administration’s decision to launch an attack of 60 Tomahawk missiles on the Syrian air base Sharyat on Thursday, in response to a chemical weapons attack. “If President Assad is indeed guilty of this horrible chemical attack on innocent civilians, I will be the first to call for his prosecution and execution by the International Criminal Court,” Gabbard said. Gabbard met with Assad in January on a seven-day trip to Aleppo, Damascus and Beirut. But Gabbard’s decision to meet with Assad drew criticism from both sides of the aisle.
