Summary
Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump’s pick for Director of National Intelligence, has a history of promoting Russian propaganda and defending authoritarian leaders like Syria’s Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin.
Critics cite her support for Russia’s actions in Syria and Ukraine, as well as her embrace of Kremlin-backed conspiracy theories, raising concerns about her fitness for the DNI role.
Intelligence experts warn her appointment could strain relationships with U.S. allies and compromise national security due to her susceptibility to misinformation and lack of extensive national security expertise required by law.
One question comes to mind: what kind of qualifications make her being selected for this position.
The only ones so far are her potential tires to Russia. There’s literally nothing else.
