U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan called former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard a friend, and said today she has what it takes to be an effective director of National Intelligence. The position is the leader of the country’s intelligence community, overseeing and directing the implementation of the National Intelligence Program budget and serving as the principal advisor to the president, the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council for intelligence matters related to national security.
“It was good meeting with my friend @TulsiGabbard today. During our discussions, which focused on issues across the globe that impact national security, including Alaska and the Arctic, Lt. Col. Gabbard demonstrated a deep understanding of the responsibilities of the DNI. She will be an important and strong member of the Trump Administration as they restore “Peace Through Strength,” Sullivan wrote on X/Twitter.
Sullivan has taken the lead role in the Alaska delegation when it comes to meeting with Donald Trump’s nominees in advance of Senate confirmation votes in January. He met with Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for Defense secretary, and Rep. Elise Stefanik, nominee for ambassador to the United Nations, and spoke highly of both of them.
Gabbard is a former Democrat who recently abandoned the Democratic Party and joined the Republicans, endorsing Trump and joining the Make America Great Again movement.
Born in the U.S. territory of American Samoa, Gabbard was raised in Hawaii, where at 21-years-old she was elected to the Hawaii House of Representatives. She served one term and then left when she was deployed to Iraq with her National Guard unit.
She was later elected to Congress as the first Hindu member of the House, and the first American Samoan elected to Congress.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski has been tight-lipped on her opinion about Hegseth and has not announced a meeting with Gabbard yet. Both have been targets of the Left and the legacy media that speaks for the Left.
But Murkowski had good things to say about two other nominees — Interior Secretary nominee Doug Burgum and Energy Secretary nominee Chris Wright.
“Both have spent considerable time in Alaska and will be great partners who recognize energy as a good thing and a national asset,” she said.
According to this article, Sullivan said she has what it takes to be an effective director of National Intelligence.
As a retired US Army intelligence officer, my response is “NO SHE DOES NOT!”
So you know her personally? Or are you just mad cause she is a stronger woman then you are a man? If you don’t know her just shut up cause you don’t know what she’s capable of. Intelligent people don’t judge a book by it’s cover.
You have interviewed her? If not, sit down.
Military intelligence? Let’s leave that oxymoron right there.
Also, your lot has disgraced itself for decades. Best to be reconstituted root and branch, as you have failed the country and are no longer fit for purpose. Begone and be silent.
Here is hoping Tulsi facilitates this process, hence your fear.
Have at it, Danny! It’s not as if the bottom hasn’t already dropped out of the country. Since it will be a vote that you’ll be remembered for, give us your best one-liner. But as a side note, she’s pretty enough to open doors with just a smile and work fools for all they’re worth!
Did he offer his condolences for the routing of her friend al-Assad?
Frieswitdat… well said! I couldn’t have said it better.
Putin is manipulating the USA from the top down.
Yes Frank…the Russians ARE coming this time!
Better go find a place to hide.
He probably has Polaroids.
Frank has Polaroids of you? MRAK is a don’t ask don’t tell comment section.
Hey you guys, get a room – sd
For those who missed out on the first Gulf War the sequel is coming real soon… The agenda for the world is a perpetual state of warfare… And Team Neo-Con 2.0 is all about helping genocidal land grabbing wishes come true… ^^^
Who would we fight this time? Taking Sadam out was only smart.
No actually most middle east experts claim we made a mistake which cost taxpayers billions and how many American lives? Got WMD’s? Where did your Globalist heros Non existent WMD’s go?
Took out a guy that wanted to kill Americans. Freedom isn’t cheap.
Got proof? No you don’t. It was a financial war which the US war machine and people like Dick Cheny and Haliburton, James Biden profited nicely. Where were the WMD’s?
I’m sure Lisa will vote “ present.”
Who’s Dan Sullivan? I’ve heard the name but I can’t match the face.
Sullivan should confirm Trump’s cabinet, period.
Had this been another leftist nomination, we’d hear the media touting, “Brave choice,” and “First-ever blah blah blah,” and “Women girl power…” It’s getting all so tiresome. She can’t be worse than Avril Haines. And for those in the intel community that cry, “But we don’t know her,” sit down. You’ve had more than your share of strike-outs when you’ve been at bat. Time for a different perspective. Time to have a DNI who will work with the president, not work to hamstring him.
They could’ve had her as prez, but they blew it.
