Summary

The Senate confirmed Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence in a 52-48 vote, with only Sen. Mitch McConnell breaking GOP ranks to oppose her.

Critics, including Democrats and some Republicans, raised concerns over her past meeting with Syria’s Assad, sympathetic comments on Russia, and prior support for Edward Snowden.

Gabbard reversed her stance on key intelligence policies during her confirmation.

      No you’re thinking of the Secretary of Homeland Security. I hope.

      On second thought, it’s a moot point.

        MI5, MI6 *shrug*

        Sadly a moot point indeed.
