Tulsi Gabbard: Assad should be ‘executed’ if proven behind Syria chemical attack

Published April 7, 2017 4:01am ET



Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard on Thursday demanded that Syrian President Bashar Assad be “executed” if it is confirmed he ordered the deadly chemical attack earlier this week that killed dozens of Syrian civilians, according to a report.

The Hawaiian lawmaker, who met with Assad earlier this year, made that statement on the same day President Trump authorized a missile strike against the airbase from which the chemical attack is believed to have originated, according to Hawaii News Now.
