Summary
Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination for director of national intelligence faces growing concern after a contentious hearing in Washington. Senators questioned her suitability for the role.
Gabbard’s reluctance to directly label Edward Snowden as a traitor raised doubts. Critics highlighted her unpreparedness and evasive responses regarding past praise for Snowden.
Republican senators expressed skepticism while Democratic senators vowed to oppose her nomination on the floor. Ultimately, the committee vote remains uncertain.
The White House stands firmly behind Gabbard.
Tell me if the GOP doesn’t eventually decide to fall in line… and I don’t care if one or two reps have a backbone - if the candidate is confirmed it’s all just performative bullshit.
All the GOP reps in purple seats need to hem and haw to make it seem like they’re reasonable people… but the shit happens anyways.
