The video highlights Tulsi Gabbard's current lobbying activities on Capitol Hill as she faces renewed questions about her past meetings with Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad. These meetings, which took place in 2017, are under scrutiny due to the recent overthrow of Assad's regime by Syrian rebels. Gabbard's skepticism about Assad's alleged use of chemical weapons, despite evidence from the U.S. government, is a focal point of criticism. Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth, Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, is also on Capitol Hill meeting with key senators, including Joni Ernst. Ernst, a prominent female Republican senator and advocate for women in combat, has previously expressed concerns about allegations against Hegseth and his views on women in combat roles. Despite these concerns, Ernst has shown some support for Hegseth following their meeting, indicating a potentially productive discussion.
