Ms. Gabbard, a former congresswoman who left the Democratic Party, would hold a top job in the administration, overseeing 18 spy agencies.

Summary

Democratic senators have raised concerns over Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as Director of National Intelligence, citing her past meetings with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and her embrace of Russian talking points.

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Gabbard shared a video echoing a false Kremlin claim that the U.S. was funding biological weapons labs in Ukraine.

A former Democratic congresswoman and critic of U.S. foreign policy, Gabbard recently joined the Republican Party and would now oversee 18 intelligence agencies and prepare the President’s Daily Brief.

      She is the only congress critter I still have respect for. Omar saying the children of Ukraine’s best interests are to be under nazi rulership instigating a war on Russia is disqualifying as “a good person”.

      Tulsi, has so far demonstrated being a good person. May be impossible to support Trump and be consistent with that, unless it is to influence Trump, who’s going to be out golfing anyway.

        Obviously basing her moral compass on your own parasocial relationship with her is obvious
