During a recent interview on 'Meet the Press,' Schmitt defended Gabbard against criticisms regarding her non-committal stance on whether Snowden is a traitor. He dismissed the attempts to label individuals in political discourse as 'gotcha' tactics, suggesting that the public is weary of such games. In contrast, Sen. Kelly expressed confusion over Gabbard's reluctance to clearly label Snowden as a traitor and indicated that GOP colleagues may have lingering doubts about her nomination. Despite varying opinions, Schmitt remains fully supportive of Gabbard's capabilities as a nominee.
Schmitt believes discussing Snowden is a tired game, criticizing attempts to disqualify people for using terms like 'traitor' in the discourse.
Lankford expected an easy answer from Gabbard on Snowden but was surprised by her noncommittal stance and focus on future security measures.
Kelly finds Gabbard’s hesitance to label Snowden a traitor puzzling and insists she will face scrutiny from GOP colleagues regarding her nomination.
Despite criticism, Schmitt stands firmly in support of Gabbard, predicting she will navigate the Senate vote successfully.
