Agree.  Hanabusa is  too old to hold office and her performance on Island Issues this week was scandalously bad.  She is unable to complete a sentence.  Her racism toward minorities in Hawaii is also shocking.  Gabby is not legitimizing Assad.  He is the legitimate head of state and is recognized as such around the world.  She is in no way defending him.  She was simply doing what any Congressman or woman should do:  question authority and get the facts.  I trust gabby.  Trump is same old stooge for the war party we would expect.
