Who is Tulsi Gabbard?
Tulsi Gabbard, former vice-chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee now serves the House Foreign Affair Committee. She is also a retired Iraq war soldier and also the first Hindu member of the Congress.
She met the Syrian dictator in 2017 which raised several criticisms.
But she explained the meeting to CNN as,
“I just met him as the opportunity arose and didn’t had any plans to meet him.If we have truly cared for the people of Syria, we have to meet anyone of them. The person who can make peace and end the suffering of the people. And that’s what I talked about in the meeting with him.”
She was criticized for secretly meeting the dictator because the dictator had been accused of war crimes and genocide. This controversy got along for very long.
Tulsi Gabbard has announced during an interview by Van Jones for his show that she is running for President in 2020. She will make a formal notification within next week and would be against Donald Trump in 2020 Presidential Elections.

The nation has one big issue central to all and that is issue of war and peace.
