Tulsi Gabbard's nomination as Director of National Intelligence poses a severe risk to U.S. national security interests. Her troubling record of defending authoritarian regimes like Syria, echoing Russian propaganda, and downplaying threats from adversaries like Vladimir Putin raises grave concerns about her ability to lead the intelligence community objectively. Gabbard's controversial views undermine trust in intelligence assessments and jeopardize America's capability to counter foreign threats effectively. National security experts have sounded alarms, with retired Major General Paul Eaton stating "Someone with Gabbard's record of supporting dictators and undermining U.S. alliances has no place leading our intelligence community." I urge you to exercise your constitutional duty of advice and consent by rejecting Gabbard's nomination to protect the integrity of U.S. intelligence and ensure our national security remains guided by experienced, principled leadership committed to American interests.
