  5. Tulsi Gabbard Confirmed as US Director of National Intelligence

Tulsi Gabbard Confirmed as US Director of National Intelligence

ai generated text

Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman, has been confirmed as the director of national intelligence in the United States by the Republican-controlled Senate with a 52-48 vote. The confirmation was considered one of the most contentious of President Donald Trump's second term. Senator Mitch McConnell from Kentucky was the only Republican to vote against her appointment, citing "unnecessary risk". Gabbard, a 43-year-old military veteran and former congresswoman from Hawaii, has no prior experience in the intelligence field, making her an unconventional choice. She has faced criticism over her 2017 meeting with Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad and her views on US government surveillance and her support for National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, with Democrats expressing concern over her suitability for the role.

    1. It is an insult to people who have dedicated their lives and put themselves in harm's way to have her confirmed into this position.

    1. Is Ms. Gabbard really who Republicans want to lead intelligence agencies? I'll bet not.
    2. On the night that Russia invaded Ukraine and launched the first full-scale invasion of a sovereign nation in Europe since World War II, what was Ms. Gabbard doing?
    3. We simply cannot in good conscience trust our most classified secrets to someone who echoes Russian propaganda and falls for conspiracy theories.
    4. She was spending her energy blaming NATO and the US for what Putin did (...) That alone should be disqualifying for anyone seeking to become the top intelligence advisor to the president.

    1. While I continue to have concerns about certain positions she has previously taken, I appreciate her commitment to rein in the outsized scope of the agency.

    1. I asked him tough questions about his own regime's actions, the use of chemical weapons and the brutal tactics that were being used against his own people.

    1. The intelligence community needs to refocus on its core mission, collecting intelligence and providing unbiased analysis of that information.

    Mitch Mcconnell
    Republican Party
    1. In my assessment, Tulsi Gabbard failed to demonstrate that she is prepared to assume this tremendous national trust.
    2. The nation should not have to worry that the intelligence assessments the President receives are tainted by a Director of National Intelligence with a history of alarming lapses in judgement.

    1. I stand corrected. Senator Young will be a great ally in restoring power to the people from the vast, unelected bureaucracy.
