Tulsi Gabbard is not too bright. Not only does she side with a regime that helped terrorists kill American troops in Iraq in the name of anti-terrorism, she is a few years late to the Assadist “there are no moderate rebels” meme. The Russian Ministry of Defense has published a list of moderate anti-Assad rebels that is reproduced in full below:

Formations of the moderate opposition, which control vast territories in the northern and central part of Syria and which have joined the ceasefire:

1. Feilak al-Sham

19 detachments, total strength: over 4,000 people.

Its formations conduct combat actions in the Aleppo, Idlib, Hama and Homs provinces.

2. Ahrar al-Sham

The full name is Harakat Ahrar al-Sham al-Islamiyya.

Over 80 detachments, total strength: about 16,000 people.

Formations of the grouping conduct combat actions in the Aleppo, Damascus, Daraa, Idlib, Latakia, Hama and Homs provinces.

3. Jaysh al-Islam

64 detachments, total strength: about 12,000 people.

Jaysh al-Islam formations conduct combat actions in the Aleppo, Damascus, Daraa, Deir ez-Zor, Latakia, Hama and Homs provinces.

4. Thuwar al-Sham

8 battalions, total strength: about 2,500 people.

Armed formations conduct combat actions in the Aleppo, Idlib and Latakia provinces.

5. Jaysh al-Mujahideen

13 detachments, total strength: about 8,000 people.

Armed formations conduct combat actions in the Aleppo city and provinces of Aleppo, Idlib and Hama.

6. Jaysh Idlib

3 large detachments, total strength: more than 6,000 people.

Jaysh Idlib conducts combat actions in the Idlib province.

7. Jabhat al-Shamiyah

5 large detachments, total strength: about 3,000 people.

The grouping detachments conduct combat actions in the Aleppo, Idlib and Damascus provinces.

Gabbard keeps talking about a U.S. plot to engineer regime change in Syria even though President Donald Trump has continually rejected the idea of overthrowing Assad.

Again, there is only one possible explanation for Gabbard’s persistence in peddling this transparently fake news: she’s just not that bright. Unfortunately there is a huge audience of internet idiots who will mindlessly spread this fake news because it conforms to their pre-existing pro-Assad/anti-rebel bias.
