Media Immediately Seeks to Smear Tulsi Gabbard With Russia Conspiracies After Trump Cabinet Pick
“In her public statements, Gabbard has often been at odds with the U.S. intelligence community’s assessments.”
Yesterday, Donald Trump named former Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as his Director of National Intelligence.
Less than 24 hours after the announcement, the liberal media is already trying to smear Gabbard as a conspirator in some sort of imaginary plot.
I was stunned to see this, but in retrospect, I should not have been. These people are evil.

From NBC News:
Trump’s pick for top intel job has been accused of ‘traitorous’ parroting of Russian propaganda
President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, former Democratic lawmaker Tulsi Gabbard, has been accused of amplifying Russian propaganda and would come to the job having never worked in the intelligence world or served on a congressional intelligence committee.
Gabbard, who served in the Hawaii Army National Guard and was deployed to Iraq with a medical unit, has long criticized U.S. foreign policy as imperial and heavy-handed. She also has sharply criticized Trump in the past over his approach to the Middle East during his first presidential term, portraying him as dangerous.
As director of national intelligence, a position created in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Gabbard would oversee 18 intelligence agencies with a budget of about $70 billion and serve as the principal adviser to the president on intelligence matters. She would first need to be confirmed by the Senate, where Republicans will hold the majority starting in January.
In her public statements, Gabbard has often been at odds with the U.S. intelligence community’s assessments. If she is confirmed, her tenure would most likely be marked by clashes with government analysts who see Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government as the primary purveyor of disinformation designed to sow divisions in the U.S.
Russia! Russia! Russia!
Putin! Putin! Putin!
Do you get the ridiculous game these people are playing yet?
This is not about Russia or Putin. It’s about discrediting Trump’s nomination of a former Democrat to his cabinet. Tulsi Gabbard is a Trump convert and the media can’t have that.
John Bolton, king of the Neocons, is already demanding a deep state style investigation.

John Bolton Calls on FBI To Investigate Trump Nominees Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard: ‘A Serious Threat to Our National Security’
Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton urged the FBI to investigate Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard after President-elect Donald Trump nominated them to serve as attorney general and director of national intelligence, respectively, on Wednesday.
During an appearance on NewsNation’s The Hill, Bolton said:
With his announcement of Tulsi Gabbard to be the director of national intelligence, he’s sending a signal that we have lost our mind when it comes to collecting intelligence. This is, up until a few hours ago, I would have said that was the worst cabinet appointment in recent American history. Of course, since Matt Gaetz’s nomination, he clearly has taken the lead on that score, but it’s not indication that the administration is serious about one of the most important aspects we’re dealing with.
At some point, you just have to lean back, point at these idiots, and laugh.

Can John Bolton be arrested and imprisoned for being an extreme doofus?
He looks like the mailman from Mr Roger’s Neighborhood.
At least he doesn’t constantly have a look on his face like he just shat his pants, like John Brennan. I swear, just looking at that idiot’s picture makes me smell sh*t.
That pained look of… sudden and uncontrollable incontinence.
He looks like Groucho Marx and has a mind like his brother Harpo Marx.
that remark disparages Groucho Marx, who General Bolton doesn’t resemble in the slightest, and, moreso, Harpo, who was, out of role, rather brilliant
Actually Bolton more closely resembles the entitled elites that the Marx brothers movies ridiculed.
I’d say if he resembles any marks it would be Karl
During the Bush administration, Bolton was the NRA’s golden boy, as he steadfastly refused to add USA’s signature to the International Small Arms Pact as Ambassador to the UN, which would have nullified portions of the Second Amendment. But he certainly wasn’t worth the tradeoff.
Clearly defamatory. Tulsi should sue him for slander.
Not at all defamatory. He hasn’t made any false factual statements about her. He’s expressed an opinion, which is inherently not actionable.
Hell of a good idea. Arrest extreme doofus’s. Doofi?
Why stop at one? Could pretty much put a fence around Washington DC and declare it a “doofus zone”.
“At some point, you just have to lean back, point at these idiots, and laugh.”
I’m beyond laughter. I’m enjoying the taste, the texture and the flavor which is much sweeter than honey.
“primary purveyor of disinformation designed to sow divisions in the U.S.”
This is what our intelligence agency has been doing for a long time, like JFK ‘s murder.. Right now, I see them as a mortal threat to our country., worse than Russia.
Absolutely. Tulsi should just give a great big cackle like Kamala (it triggers uncomfortable endorphins in leftists), and reply, “Russia, Russia, Russia! Really, Democrats need to get some new material, nobody believes that debunked smear anymore.”
Like a hardheaded child with a smart mouth.
Do they need a second ass-whipping to get our point across?
I think so.
Maybe they can get a couple dozen CIA contractors to sign a letter stating that she is a Russian asset. CNN would be all over it for the next four years.
Or maybe that lying c*nt Hillary Clinton can accuse her of being a Russian agent… oh wait….
I will be very curious to see how this plays out. Just exactly how much damage did the MSM do to themselves with their Trump fantasies?
I am, of course a Right Wing Loonie but I just can’t feel much credibility emanating from the press these days.
Of course, what really matters is whether the NeoCons believe they can use this story for cover when rejecting her.
Yet the entire Russia Hoax cabol have no worries
To paraphrase Bolton: “I’ve shown you the man, now show me the crime”
And these despicable pieces of sh*t have the audacity to cry “Russia!?”
Perhaps she’s been at odds with the US intel community because they’ve been peddling sh*t?
These fools are just making it worse for themselves. Too stupid to understand that the American public has rejected them and their way of doing business. The election of 2026 cannot come soon enough.
I am puzzled that Trump has not appointed Grennell to something. He seems better qualified than some of the picks he has made. He not kiss Trump’s ring enough – the apparent issue with Pompeo, whom I thought was terrific?
I suspect that he will have an important role. Not sure what Trump has in mind but it will probably cause heads to explode among the leftist and corporate elites.
Ukraine/Russia envoy? Or a backup selection in case one of the others becomes untenable for conformation
By media, you really mean the deep state’s mouthpieces in the media, correct?
The good news is it seems fewer and fewer people pay attention to the MSM or trust it when they do.
The same “Intelligence Professionals” that signed off the Hunter Laptop as Dis-Information when they damned well knew it was legit. The same once who said if they knew then what they know now they would still sign the scam letter.
Then they proceeded to put Tulsi on the watch list for TSA screening.
They are trying to discredit her because they know she will clean house and start putting people on the unemployment line or in jail.
If Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset then I’m the Queen of England.
NB, I’m not the Queen.
I’ve heard that there is letter out there, signed by a bunch of ex-CIA big shots, stating that evidence exists which confirms that you ARE the Queen of England. The FBI has leaked to CNN that it is presently in possession of your robes and crown. You and Tulsi should stop covering for each other.
Curtsy to me when you say that. Where are your manners?
My deepest apologies, Your Majesty! Also . . . please be assured, Ma’am, that none of Your subjects believe a single word that the Duchess of Sussex has told the FBI about You and Ms. Tulsi!
I LOVE the whole “Let’s put a conspiracy theorist in charge of the CIA” bit! It’s fantastic! I hope she requires them all to wear tinfoil hats as part of their daily uniform.
They can become the f*g Hershey Kiss Brigade for all I care.
My alternate take…Trump may be giving people just enough rope.
Look at Clapper and Brennan both liars and commies yet no one investigated either. Just like the last two weeks of the election, all we are going to see are smears and insults to all of Trump’s nominees. In a sane world any profession that failed as badly as the MSM would retreat and look inward for corrections. In BlackJack, this is called “Doubling down” and they are going to lose big time!
The globalist establishment is lashing out in anger. They seem to realize how thoroughly their goose is cooked with a second DJT Administration. They will continue to make up all sorts of.stuff about appointees and try and smear them with innuendo and half truths as long as they can.
Remember that these are the same sort of folks doing this smear campaign as put out the Russia collision BS, that undermined the 1st DJT admin, that had no issues with law fare or using the DoJ v political opposition… and very importantly the same folks who desperately want to defend Ukrainian borders …but now our own borders.
The only thing these people need to hear from Americans is shut the f****** communist
It is going to take more than griping to rid ourselves of this pestilent, divisive behavior.
John Bolton and the odious Debbie Wasserman Schultz claim that Ms. Gabbard is canoodling with the Russians. Okay, offer up tangible proof — show us in detail what she’s done.
“Amplifying Russian propaganda”? Mr. Bolton is amplifying Democratic propaganda; I leave it to the rest of you to decide which is worse.
No doubt Tulsi has some great attorneys on retainer. I see slander and libel lawsuits on her behalf against these freaking idiots – they should know better than publish such unfounded accusations.
Nothing I’ve seen published about her so far has been a false factual statement.
Plus she’s a public figure, so not only would have have to identify a factual statement that’s false, but she’d have to prove the person who said it knew it was false.
Can’t we just accuse everyone opposed to Tulsi as racist and sexist?
Racist misogyny is why Kamala was defeated, after all; its a scourge in this country and must be called out when these old white Patriarchy Guys try to keep a woman of color down!!
Plus some more exclamation marks !!!!!
This game is getting soo00 old. Accuse someone of something horrendous or embarrassing. “J. D. Vance had sex with his couch”. Forever after, it is a true statement that “J. D. Vance was accused of having sex with his couch.”
Harris had sex with Willie Brown’s Willie, and got a job for a job.

Russia is not an enemy. The borders of Ukraine have standing in international law but there is very little history, culture or political allegiance to support these lines on the map, especially in the East. It is time for a negotiated settlement of this disastrous war that respects Russian security interests and battlefield realities. Too many Russians and Ukrainians have died.
I’m not surprised at all. They are also going after Musk by claiming he has had “secret” phone calls with people in Russia. That he has business interests all over the planet doesn’t seem to matter. The Deep State will do anything it can over the next few months to smear anyone it can
The US professional intel agency heads have destroyed their own reputations, and that has lead to serious questions about their agencies. They have immersed themselves far too deeply in national politics, leading to suspicions that they have done more than just talk. These guys are experts at regime change in small, unstable countries. Can we be sure they haven;t tried the same here? So, who was behind the Pennsylvania attempt on DJT’s life? Not Iran.
Crapweasels like Clapper and Brennan ought to be worried that Tulsi will uncover and expose their perfidy.
