Intelligence Director Questioned About Climate Change and National Security
Senator Angus King questioned Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard (also known on Russian State TV as “our girlfriend”) on the impacts of climate change on mass migration. Jesus, what a colossal fraud this woman is.
In Russian state television, the debate is whether Tulsi Gabbard should be referred to as "our agent" or as "girlfriend." https://t.co/qa4W8m0Fmu

I have a mea culpa here – it was a long time ago, I think during the 2016 primaries, that I defended her when she was going after Hillary Clinton, and part of that was that I didn’t want HC to win the Democratic nomination. But still, I was clearly wrong to defend her at all.
Since then, her very close ties to a cult-like organization in Hawaii (SIF) are the only way to get a grasp on what she’s about. She’s very concerned with personal power, perhaps because she wants it herself, perhaps to give SIF power, very likely both, and anything that helps that goal is acceptable to her:

‘“I’ve never had another conversation like that,” said the staffer, who still works in Democratic politics but asked to remain anonymous in order to speak candidly. “She was willing to do or say whatever. It was like she had absolutely no moral compass.” I heard the same sentiment from numerous people who have worked with Gabbard, both in Hawaii and at the federal level.’
‘Gabbard’s instincts are those of a “moth to a flame of power,” Wasserman Schultz told me.’
