Tulsi Gabbard, who has never worked in the intelligence world, has denied accusations that she promoted Kremlin disinformation.
Summary
Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence, faces backlash over claims she promoted Russian disinformation, though she denies these accusations.
With no intelligence experience, Gabbard has previously clashed with U.S. officials over foreign policy, including controversial stances on Syria’s Assad and Ukraine.
In 2022, she was accused of echoing Russian propaganda by sharing unverified claims about U.S.-funded labs in Ukraine, which she insists were misinterpreted.
Critics, including Rep. Abigail Spanberger, argue her nomination raises serious national security concerns.
I think the new Majority Leader still respects Romney, though. He (and the head of whatever committee gets to approve this nomination) are now in a pickle. They know the harm that she will do to the country, but have also promised to get Der Gröpenführer's picks through quickly. I wouldn't want to be them.
I hope that every last trump voter is held to collective responsibility for whatever atrocities lie ahead. After the Nazis were defeated, Germans were shown posters like this one that said "These Atrocities, Your Fault!"
