Why were so many American politicians against al-Assad? (hexbear.net)

I wasn't in the US for the Syrian Civil War. Why was there so much hate and vitriol for President Assad? It's like every American politician wanted him gone, but by regional standards he's pretty innocuous (I think he was like an eye doctor before he more or less inherited his presidency).

TV said he's bad, therefore he must die.

Same logic with CHYNA. CNN man says China bad, ergo it needs to be nuked.
