***IMMEDIATE ACTION***Oppose Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence at her Senate Intelligence Committee Hearing on 1/30/25
Trump has nominated Tulsi Gabbard to be Director of National Intelligence (DNI), making her responsible for overseeing the intelligence community and safeguarding America’s national security. This entails protecting U.S. interests, ensuring unbiased intelligence analysis, and maintaining the independence of agencies like the CIA and NSA.
Gabbard is completely unqualified for this position. She has zero intelligence experience, has amplified Russian propaganda, has sided with foreign adversaries, and has cosied up to the recently deposed Syrian dictator. For the past two years she’s been ingratiating herself with the Tucker Carlson crowd, pushing Russian talking points, and criticizing the Biden administration’s Ukraine policy.
National security experts and veterans consider her “a very dangerous choice for DNI because her past actions, affiliations, and public statements suggest both that she would undermine the very institutions she’s supposed to lead and that our allies would be loath to share intelligence information with us–making the U.S. more vulnerable to foreign adversaries and political influence.
Gabbard will be appearing before the Intelligence Committee for a hearing on her nomination on Thursday, January 30. As your constituent, I urge you to convince your colleagues to use this opportunity to explain to the American people how unprepared and dangerous she would be to the safety and security of our nation and to remind them that any Senator voting for her will be complicit in the harms she causes both here and abroad.
ACTION One: Call the Senate.
