Summary
Nearly 100 former national security officials expressed alarm over Trump’s nomination of Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence due to her past alignment with Russian and Syrian officials and lack of experience.
In a letter, they urged Senate committees to hold closed-door hearings to assess her qualifications and review any government-held information about her.
Critics highlighted her controversial 2017 trip to Syria to meet Bashar al-Assad and her questioning of U.S. intelligence.
Gabbard’s spokesperson dismissed the criticism as partisan attacks, while the Senate confirmation process is expected to be contentious.
You don’t seem to be educated at all on this topic, no offense
Well… I’m not buying the bullshit from the establishment media, that’s for sure. She’s said she’s working to do whatever it takes for peace. Any evidence to the contrary?
Yeah establishment media all around is fairly biased, some places much more than others. It’s my opinion at least that it takes a good amount of research and education to cut through the thinly veiled news that many places put out.
Also, there’s a big push to remove some of the more honest news outlets by big media.
She has had a ton of legitimate reports that she heavily consumes Russian propaganda networks. Also, her 180 from being a Democrat to being a Russia supporter and parroter of their talking points almost overnight is what soured me on her, and is hella suspicious. To each their own but I absolutely don’t support her being in charge of our national intelligence given even the slightest chance she’s on vlad’s payroll.
In any case, I’m not hating on you specifically at all and we can disagree peacefully. Let’s both keep on educating ourselves because knowledge is power!
Hit me with your favorite report(s)… I’m open to learning more about it. Except for supporting Trump, I think most of what I’ve heard her say sounds correct, reasonable, and for the greater good. If you have examples to the contrary, I’d be interested in that too. If there really is more than corporate media or “intelligence sources” that show she’s legitimately not trying to act for the good of everyone, I really would like to know.
Of course if she is saying correct things that happen to match with what Russia is saying, I think we’ll have to take a look at what Russia is saying.
