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.

          Nice word salad there, but you still dishonestly put your words in his mouth and attributed them to him.

          Also, taking out a letter doesn’t make your bigoted ableism any less bigoted.

              That wasn’t a paraphrase because his quote had nothing to do with Russia and never did. I have no idea why you’re going down this pathetic “what are you going to believe, me or your own eyes” road.
