Tulsi Gabbard criticized Rep. Bennie Thompson for describing the attack on the D.C. National Guard as “an accident.”
“This exchange highlights a deeply troubling and longstanding problem — leaders refusing to call this Islamist terrorist threat what it truly is,” she said.
“This was a terror attack on our own soil, targeting our National Guard, whose mission was to protect the American people right here on the streets of Washington, D.C.”
