In a debate during the 2020 presidential race, Gabbard caught flak from then candidate Kamala Harris for not calling the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, a “war criminal”, after she attacked Harris on her record as a California prosecutor. In 2013, Gabbard was criticized for voting against a bipartisan House resolution condemning anti-Muslim violence in the state of Gujarat.

American agents of misinformation: Tulsi Gabbard, Russian ... (New Eastern Europe)

Kremlin apologists spreading disinformation during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine can be found on both sides of the aisle in US politics.

According to the [official webpage](https://goarmysof.com/CivilAffairs/CArecruiting.html) of the US Army Special Operations Recruiting Battalion, any Civil Affairs Officer must be eligible for (and maintain) a Top-Secret Security Clearance, one of the most demanding and stringent security clearances within the United States government. Gabbard has met the head of state of a sanctioned nation whose forces were actively engaged in combat with US-allied (and possibly US Special Operations) forces, called the Biden administration a dictatorship, and labelled the senior ranking member of a House Committee a domestic terrorist. It would be wise for the US Department of Defense, the US Army Psychological Operations and Civil Affairs Command, and the US Army Reserve to reconsider her status within the elite field of Civil Affairs officers, and reevaluate her top-secret security clearance. Meanwhile, Alexander Vindman, the former US Army Officer who testified against Trump during the Trump-Ukraine Scandal, [called her out](https://www.newsweek.com/vindman-calls-gabbard-agent-russian-disinformation-after-fox-segment-1733443) on social media for being a liar and “an agent of Russian disinformation [who promotes] Russian aggression and endanger[s] America”. When Gabbard announced she was running for President, she defended her actions in a [CNN interview](https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/20/politics/tulsi-gabbard-bashar-al-assad-meeting-cnntv); when asked if she had any regrets, she argued that it was important to meet with other leaders, “whether they be friends or adversaries or potential adversaries if we are serious about the pursuit of peace and securing our country”.

She considers the pair a greater danger to the United States than the rioters who stormed the US Capitol building on January 6, 2021, while she has also warned of “efforts to combat domestic insurgents through surveillance and other monitoring activities”. Also contentiously, Gabbard [frequently appeared](https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/nov/21/looking-back-tulsi-gabbards-fox-news-presence-obam/) on Fox News as a sitting member of Congress, making more than 20 appearances between 2013 to 2017, and often opposing Obama’s foreign policy.
