Yesterday, Tulsi Gabbard was confirmed as Director of National Intelligence. Only one Republican voted against her, despite widespread concerns about:
- Her lack of experience; \
- Her previous support for Syrian Dictator, Bashar al-Assad;
- Her tendency to play footsie with Russia; and
- Her views on an array of Republican-supported intelligence programs.
While no one ever made money betting on the courage of Republican Senators, if there was one place where Senate Republicans would exert their will, it would be over Gabbard’s nomination. As a group, Senate Republicans traditionally oppose Trump and the MAGA movement on foreign policy — more NeoCon than isolationist. Yet, she glided through to confirmation and is now in charge of America’s intelligence apparatus.
