Welp, it looks like Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has at least one Republican counterpart who doesn’t publicly hold Bashar al-Assad responsible for the latest chemical weapons attack against innocent Syrian civilians:

.@RepThomasMassie on Syria gas attack: I dont think Assad would have done that, it does not serve his interest. https://t.co/rV9kx95rTQ

More from CNN:

“Frankly, I don’t think Assad would have done that,” Massie said. “It does not serve his interests.” …

When a visibly stunned Bolduan pressed Massie on who — if not Assad — may be responsible for the attack, Massie seemed to suggest that the incident could have been unintentional.

“You’ve got a war going on over there,” Massie said. “Supposedly that airstrike was on an ammo dump, and so I don’t know if it was released because there was gas stored in the ammo dump or not — that’s plausible.”

Massie cautiously says "supposedly" before full-throatedly voicing to the Putin/Assad line on Yesterday's attack. https://t.co/zBMtt9eHBJ
