This is the neoconservative-leftist alliance that has been warned about for nearly three years.
After the neocons and leftists in the mainstream media spent much of the week targeting Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) for committing the sin of going after the next Chosen One and opposing regime change wars, another MSNBC contributor has joined the fun and made some ridiculous statement.
Writing in a tweet, Naveed Jamali, a Newsweek host and MSNBC contributor, hypothesized that Gabbard is adopting the same model as Jill Stein and President Donald Trump.
“Like Jill Stein and Donald Trump, Gabbard is counting on Russian support. This is why she won’t criticize Assad. This is what we’ve become. An election rife with foreign influence. This is how they attack our election security, not by hacking, but by doing this.”

These people are nuts.
Contrary to widespread reports, Gabbard has criticized Bashar al-Assad:
“We all know that Bashar al-Assad President of Syria is a brutal dictator but this resolution’s purpose was not merely to recognize him as such rather it was a call to action specifically is a call to escalate our war to overthrow the Syrian government of Assad…”
She just refuses to call him America’s enemy and doesn’t want regime change because toppling Assad will lead to installing al-Qaeda and ISIS leaders.
Come on, mainstream media, you’re embarrassing yourselves.

The likelihood of Tulsi Gabbard (or any other Democrat candidate) receiving assistance from Russia is equal to that of Joe Scarborough voting for President Trump in 2020.
