Summary

Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump’s pick for Director of National Intelligence, has a history of promoting Russian propaganda and defending authoritarian leaders like Syria’s Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin.

Critics cite her support for Russia’s actions in Syria and Ukraine, as well as her embrace of Kremlin-backed conspiracy theories, raising concerns about her fitness for the DNI role.

Intelligence experts warn her appointment could strain relationships with U.S. allies and compromise national security due to her susceptibility to misinformation and lack of extensive national security expertise required by law.

      It’s not the Democrats’ fault that everyone in Trump’s circle is a Russian stooge.

      Sorry if you can’t see it. Reality has a liberal bias and all that.

      Read the fucking Mueller Report. Both volumes.

      Volume I is conspiracy and coordination.

      Volume II is obstruction of justice.

      Innocent people do not act like this.

      Edit: spelling

      You’re hellbent on being willfully blind. Most of us ONLY talk about factual reports and investigations when we talk about someone. Stop hiding in your shell and being afraid of alienating your social circles with viewpoints they probably won’t agree with.

      Wake up.

      …you mean, following the facts where they actually lead?
