Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and Sen. Kamala Harris continued to clash after their fiery exchange during the CNN debate in the Democratic Party's 2020 primary.
Tulsi Gabbard hit back against the accusation by Kamala Harris that she is an"apologist" for Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, and suggested the focus on his regime's brutality against its own people is a distraction from the"central issue" of American troops dying in the country.
"This, coming from someone who has been an apologist for an individual, Assad, who has murdered the people of his country like cockroaches," Harris said in response to Gabbard's criticism of her prosecutorial record. "If that's the case then voters deserve to hear about why she is so proud of the lives she has negatively impacted, the families that she has torn apart in California."
"So, I will never apologize for doing all that I can to prevent more of my brothers and sisters from being sent into harm's way, to fight counter-productive regime-change wars that make our country less safe, that take more lives, and that cost taxpayers trillions more dollars. So if that means meeting with a dictator, or meeting with an adversary, absolutely. I would do it. This is about the national security of our country.
Cooper suggested that Roosevelt would have at least acknowledged the millions of deaths under Stalin even though they had a practical relationship during World War II.
