Tulsi Gabbard’s curious and confounding political odyssey may have reached its end. She has announced her resignation as Trump’s director of national intelligence, citing her husband’s medical struggles.

Her departure comes in the wake of months of reporting that Gabbard was being sidelined within the administration and that Trump was considering firing her.

She hung on for 15 months. In that time, she made a mockery of what she’d always presented as her core principles. It looks like it wasn’t enough to save her job.
