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.https://twitter.com/TomBevanRCP/status/1857011221808967728From NBC News:
Trump’s pick for top intel job has been accused of ‘traitorous’ parroting of Russian propagandaPresident-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.
From Mediaite:
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.
