Pamela, A GOP aide recently told The Hill what Congress really thinks of Trump's pick for Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and it's not pretty.1 "Behind closed doors, people think she might be compromised. It's not hyperbole. There are members of our conference who think she's a [Russian] asset." Russian state television has gone so far as to call her "our girlfriend." Really.2 Tulsi Gabbard regularly parrots Russian propaganda, which her former aides say she consumes on a daily basis. She even blamed the United States for Russia's invasion of Ukraine and disputed intelligence indicating that Syrian dictator Assad used chemical weapons against his own people. We can't afford to put Tulsi Gabbard in charge of our national security. Tell your Senators to protect the United States and REJECT Tulsi Gabbard's nomination for Director of National Intelligence >> Nominating someone who parrots Russian propaganda to such a politically sensitive position is one of the most dangerous things Donald Trump could do. If confirmed, Gabbard would be placed in charge of the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency. She would serve as the principal advisor to the President, the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council. And she would oversee a $100 billion budget. Trump himself has already called Putin's invasion of Ukraine "genius," and consistently claims he trusts Putin more than he trusts U.S. intelligence. He would love nothing more than a Putin ally advising him on national security. Nearly 100 former senior diplomats and national security officials have already urged the Senate to hold closed-door hearings to review everything the government has on Gabbard. We can't trust Tulsi Gabbard to maintain our most critical state secrets and keep Kremlin propaganda out of the Oval Office. Tell the Senate: stop Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation now >> We can't allow the highest positions in our government to be handed to those who are pro-Putin. Thank you for fighting for our national security, Mike Phelan Progress America 1 Gabbard seen as tough lift for Trump in Senate GOP 2 Russian State TV Panel Call Tulsi Gabbard 'Our Girlfriend' |
