‘I Refuse to Be Their Puppet’: Greatest Hits From Tulsi Gabbard Firing Back at Democrats During Nomination Battle

/2 Comments/in , /by

Tulsi Gabbard faced a fierce grilling from Senate Democrats at her confirmation hearing, but she showed that she was more than willing to fight back just as hard.

Gabbard was handpicked by President Donald Trump to serve as director of national intelligence, but Democrats attempted to dredge up past statements to derail the nomination this past week.

Gabbard took on the main criticism against her during her opening statement when she attacked the notion that she had been the puppet of foreign interests.

“I want to warn the American people who are watching at home: You may hear lies and smears in this hearing that will challenge my loyalty to and my love for our country,” she said.

Dozens of Former Intel Officials Urge Senators to Confirm Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dozens of top former intelligence officials are urging members of the Senate to confirm President Donald Trump’s nominee for director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, saying she will “begin undoing the gross politicization that has come to characterize intelligence bureaucracies,” Fox News Digital has learned.

Former White House National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien, former Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell, Navy SEAL veteran and member of the intelligence community Erik Prince and more than four dozen other former intelligence officials penned a letter to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Vice Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., on Monday, obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital.

“We, the undersigned former intelligence and national security officials, urge members of the United States Senate to confirm Tulsi Gabbard to serve as President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence,” they wrote. “Her service as DNI will begin undoing the gross politicization that has come to characterize intelligence bureaucracies, which has been to the great detriment of the freedom and security of the United States and its citizens.”

The officials said Gabbard’s experience “more than qualifies her for this important position.”

Gabbard is a military officer with more than 20 years of service and multiple combat deployments. She also served in the U.S. House of Representatives for eight years and served on numerous national security committees.

NYT Uses Anonymous Terrorist Sources For Latest Deep State Hit On Tulsi Gabbard

/0 Comments/in , /by

The New York Times is preparing to publish a deep state hit piece on President Donald Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. The piece is purportedly based on National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance of a pair of anonymous terrorists.

Two people familiar with the matter told The Federalist the Times will accuse Gabbard, a former Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii, of meeting with then-Lebanese Hezbollah Supreme Leader Hassan Nasrallah on a Middle East trip in 2017. The paper of “all the news that’s fit to print” is expected to run the deep state smear against Gabbard as early as Tuesday afternoon, two days before a confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Bernard Hudson, who was director of counterterrorism at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in 2016 and 2017, called the story by the Times, “one of the most bizarre allegations against a serving member of the U.S. military I have ever heard.”

“It strains credulity at every level,” Hudson told The Federalist.

“This is the kind of cheap skullduggery for which the Deep State has become infamous with the American people,” said Dave Reaboi, a national security expert and fellow at the Claremont Institute. “We entrust these people with tremendous power to operate in the shadows and keep secrets from us, imagining that they are professionals dedicated to safeguarding our national security. Instead, many of the IC’s senior leadership have undermined the faith we placed in them, using the capabilities their profession affords them to make war on their domestic political opponents.” (Read more from “NYT Uses Anonymous Terrorist Sources For Latest Deep State Hit On Tulsi Gabbard” HERE)

While Democrats Slow-Walk Tulsi Gabbard’s Confirmation, The Acting DNI Will Be A Pro-DEI Biden Appointee

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Biden appointee who advocated for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the intelligence community will reportedly serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence while the White House awaits Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation for the job.

Stacey Dixon, former Principal Deputy Director of DNI, was tapped by the Trump transition team to serve as acting DNI, Politico reported. Dixon was appointed to principal deputy DNI by Joe Biden, but she also served in the intelligence community during the Trump administration.

Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation hearing for DNI has yet to be scheduled by the Senate. Democrats on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence had not yet met with Gabbard as recently as two weeks ago, weeks after Gabbard had been announced as Trump’s pick.

A source alleged to the Caller that the top Democrat on the committee, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, had taken more than a month to reply to an email from Gabbard’s team and that he was preventing the other Democrats on the committee from meeting with the nominee. Warner claimed Gabbard was not up to date on her paperwork, while Gabbard’s team accused the Democrats of “playing politics.”

While sources familiar with the transition told the outlet that Dixon was seen as “less partisan” than deputy DNI for mission integration Morgan Muir, Dixon has made DEI a focal point in the past.

Tucker Carlson Says Any GOP Senator Who Votes ‘Against Tulsi Gabbard’s Confirmation’ Is ‘Enemy Of The United States’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson said Thursday that any Republican Senator who ends up voting against confirming former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as President-elect Donald Trump’s Director of National Intelligence (DNI) is America’s “enemy.”

Trump picked Gabbard to be his DNI on Nov. 13, but the former congresswoman and member of the National Guard has faced backlash from numerous national security officials that are tied to groups targeting “election misinformation,” left-wing organizations, intelligence agencies and defense contractors. Carlson, during his speech at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, argued that Republican senators who vote against Gabbard are signalling opposition to meaningful government reform.

“She is the critical appointment because she has the ability to declassify the truth about what your government has been doing in your name with your money for decades. No one doubts that Tulsi Gabbard’s a patriotic person. She’s an army officer,” Carlson said. “She served in the U.S. military for 20 years … By the way, if she was a foreign agent, how exactly is she carrying a gun in the U.S. military? It’s absurd. You will know who’s on which side by the reaction to Tulsi Gabbard.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Says Any GOP Senator Who Votes ‘Against Tulsi Gabbard’s Confirmation’ Is ‘Enemy Of The United States'” HERE)

Democrats Ramp Up Their Criticism of Tulsi Gabbard

/2 Comments/in , /by

Now that former congressman Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is no longer a threat to Democrats, they are on to the next one in President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet.

On Sunday, Democrat Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) warned viewers on CNN that former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is “compromised” and is like a “Russian asset.”

Host Dana Bash asked Duckworth, who served with Gabbard in the House, what she thought of the former Democrat, accusing her of promoting Russian propaganda.

“Well, I think she’s compromised,” Duckworth began. “I think by going to Syria and basically um, backing you know, a brutal dictator there. I mean Russian controlled media called her a Russian asset. So I do think that we have a real deep concern whether or not she’s a compromised person.”

She claimed that the U.S. Intelligence community has identified Gabbard of having “troubling relationships with America’s foes,” accusing her of not being able to pass a background check. (Read more from “Democrats Ramp Up Their Criticism of Tulsi Gabbard” HERE)

President-elect Donald Trump appointed former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence for his second administration in a Wednesday statement.

Gabbard, a former Hawaii congresswoman and member of the National Guard, left the Democratic party in 2022. In the 2024 election cycle, Gabbard endorsed Trump and became a surrogate on the campaign trail as she helped him with debate preparation. Trump wrote that Gabbard will bring a “fearless spirit” to the intelligence community to help secure “Peace through Strength.”

Tulsi Gabbard Tells Glenn Beck She’s Suing Biden Admin for Placing Her on Terror Watch List

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard said she is filing a lawsuit over being placed on a terror watch list after she criticized Vice President Kamala Harris (D) as being unfit to serve as president.

Gabbard revealed her litigious intent to Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on his show Wednesday.

“The Federal Marshal’s whistleblowers came forward and exposed the truth and provided evidence about how one day after I criticized Kamala Harris on a televised national interview, talking about how dangerous the consequences would be if she were to serve as president and commander in chief, the very next day, I was placed on a domestic terror watch list called ‘Quiet Skies,'” she said. . .

“Given no reason why I was put on the list, there’s no due process to say, ‘Hey show me what you got and take me off the list.’ As far as I know, the last time that I asked, I heard that the targeting package that the TSA built against me is still operational,” she continued.

“I hope that Congress takes this up,” she added. “I’m not the only one who’s being impacted by this. There are many Americans whose names will never make headlines who have also been wrongly targeted by this administration specifically because of their political views and their exercise of their right to free speech.”

Former Dem Rep Tulsi Gabbard Slams Harris on Foreign Policy, Declares Her ‘Unfit’ to Be Commander in Chief

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard blasted the Biden administration’s foreign policy Thursday on Fox News and declared Vice President Harris “wholly unfit to be Commander in Chief.”

During an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle,” Gabbard said that the escalation of conflict between Ukraine and Russia is the “most dangerous moments of our lives,” then turning the conversation to the supposed failures of the Biden Administration on foreign policy. She claimed during the segment Harris is “unfit” to serve as commander and chief, saying she does not fully understand the consequences of a “nuclear Armageddon.”

“It’s the most dangerous moment of our lives, Laura. We cannot understate the seriousness of the position that we are in directly because of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s foreign policy and their action, their decisions,” she told Laura Ingraham. “Kamala Harris is wholly unfit to be our commander in chief.”

“She clearly doesn’t know that we have service members in combat zones at war today putting their lives on the line. She clearly does not understand or care about the serious consequences of what nuclear Armageddon would mean for all of us, all of the American people and humanity in the world,” she added. . .

“She is continuing to lie to the American people saying, oh, first, you know, Russia, first it’s Ukraine and then it’s the Baltic countries and then it’s Poland and then it’s all of these other countries and they want to take over the entire former Soviet Union all over,” Gabbar continued. “There’s no proof of this. There’s no evidence of this.” (Read more from “Former Dem Rep Tulsi Gabbard Slams Harris on Foreign Policy, Declares Her ‘Unfit’ to Be Commander in Chief” HERE)

Trump Enlists Former Dem Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Who Brutally Attacked Kamala Harris’ Record on Stage in 2019, for Debate Prep at Mar-a-Lago

/1 Comment/in , /by

Donald Trump has enlisted the help of former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as he fine-tunes for his first debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Gabbard, 43, took part in a recent strategy session with the former president, 78, at his Mar-Lago estate ahead of his September debate against the 59-year-old Democratic nominee, according to the New York Times.

Gabbard, who at one point was on Trump’s lengthy running mate shortlist, has experience debating Harris dating back to their time as Democratic presidential primary candidates in 2019, and she unleashed a blistering attack on the then-California senator’s record as top prosecutor in the Golden State in one of their showdowns.

The Trump campaign confirmed that the former Democratic congresswoman was helping the former president, who is famously not a fan of traditional debate prep, get in shape for his face-off with Harris. . .

“He does not need traditional debate prep but will continue to meet with respected policy advisers and effective communicators like Tulsi Gabbard, who successfully dominated Kamala Harris on the debate stage in 2020,” she added.
