Tulsi scrambles to save spy job as another Trump pick hits trouble
The former Democratic congresswoman is facing questions over her past remarks about Russia and Syria.
Summary
Tulsi Gabbard, nominated by Donald Trump as director of national intelligence, faces scrutiny over her past ties with Syria’s Bashar al-Assad and alleged pro-Russia stances.
Critics, including John Bolton, questioned her foreign policy views, labeling them extreme and pro-enemy.
Gabbard defended Assad in the past, drawing backlash as Assad fled to Russia after recent events.
Despite support from some GOP senators, her Senate confirmation remains uncertain amid bipartisan criticism and Russian state media’s endorsement, which added fuel to the controversy.

This is on brand for the Trump cult.
Boosting loyalists to the front of the power line is one of the few win win plays they run for themselves. If Tulsi is pushed to the back of the line the magaverse will scream no fair! If she makes it to the front it’s American dream destruction time.
