Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman and current Trump supporter, is seeking confirmation to become director of national intelligence, igniting skepticism due to her limited experience in intelligence and controversial foreign policy views. Critics highlight her past meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and her stance against U.S. military interventions, claiming these positions qualify her as an unsuitable candidate. Gabbard's comments on Ukrainian neutrality and her praise of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden also fuel criticism. While she has softened her earlier views on surveillance, senators are likely to question her on these issues during her confirmation process.
Tulsi Gabbard's nomination for director of national intelligence has raised concerns due to her unconventional views on foreign policy and limited intelligence experience.
Despite being a former Army Reserve lieutenant colonel, critics point to Gabbard's history of opposing military interventions and meeting Assad as red flags for her candidacy.
