You raise a valid point. She's probably much better suited to be a company commander or a staff officer than the DNI, a position for which she both lacks the necessary qualifications and for which she would represent a serious risk to national security.
I didn't see the hearing in its entirety so I don't know for certain whether those issues were addressed although I assume that they were. That being said her history speaks for itself. Tulsi Gabbard Defended Russia and Syria. Now She Must Defend Those Views. Tulsi Gabbard’s history with Russia is even more concerning than you think Actually the issues were raised earlier. Tulsi Gabbard Stands by Claim Biden Responsible for Russian Invasion Gabbard faces criticism over Russia, Snowden in intelligence confirmation hearing
Understand her history but don’t know if she changed her views during the hearing. I only saw snippets of the hearing so no clue if it came up or not.
pub doctor sold out. said he had personal assurances from RFK and JD. That overcomes decades of what the man actually did. these senators being told what they want to hear and using that as justification is a disgrace to this country
they all change their views at the hearing and the pub senators play stupid and say wow, you found the light, now I can vote for you in spite of your lifetime of doing things totally contrary what you just lied to me about
Yes, that’s how these things work. Happens like this every 4 years. But tulsi did not change her tune on Snowden.
Here's a reality check for you. No matter how the senate votes on Tulsi or RFK Jr Trump plans to give them a recess appointment or a "Cabinet Czar" position. Per RFK's friend and lawyer Robert Barnes
Why am I not surprised? The least competent POTUS in history is still planning on rewarding his incompetent political friends specifically the two high profile former Democrats who flipped to support of the Dear Leader in his presidential campaign.
