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.

      I get the joke. Only real Americans want stupid wars. Intelligence services must program you for more wars, and punish you for not being stupid as well. That is very important criteria to be a real American. But good luck on making the german nazi 3 the only right 3.

        The joke is actually that you’re parroting Russian propaganda, which is a tell that you’re not American, like the 3 fingers in the movie Inglorious Basterds.

        Hope that helps!
