Summary

Concerns over Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as director of national intelligence (DNI) under Donald Trump stem from her controversial Middle East ties, particularly her 2017 meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Critics, including intelligence officials and bipartisan lawmakers, question her fitness, citing her unorthodox views, conspiracy theories about U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine, and statements minimizing Assad’s atrocities.

Worries include risks to intelligence-sharing with allies and the security of U.S. assets.

Gabbard and her supporters claim her anti-interventionist stance is being misrepresented as a liability. Senate confirmation hearings may address these controversies.

      No no, you show her pictures of nothing and describe them as unknowns and concerning.

      Then she calls them chemtrails and Jewish space lasers. And then release the images at higher resolutions, so everyone can see its a hay bale and a rock em sock em robot or whatever.
