Dem Lawmakers Panic Over President Trump’s Pick of Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence

President Donal Trump’s new pick for Director of National Intelligence (DNI) is none other than former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

And this has Democratic lawmakers hitting the panic button.

She was once the target of the Deep State, being put on a domestic terror watchlist.

Now the tables have flipped and she’s being put in charge above her accusers.

The phrase ‘the hunters become the hunted’ comes to mind.

And Trump’s latest choice is already stirring up plenty of drama in D.C.

It seems this pick is ruffling a lot of feathers among the Left.

4 months ago, Tulsi Gabbard was placed on a secret domestic terror watchlist by Biden/Harris.

Now, she’s your next Director of National Intelligence. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/gmdkXW5xB6

Victim of deep state harassment to oversee deep state? Satisfying.

Fox News reports:

Some Democratic lawmakers blasted former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard after President-elect Trump tapped her to serve as director of national intelligence, a cabinet-level post.

Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., declared in a post on X that she was “appalled” by the selection of Gabbard for the role.

“Not only is she ill-prepared and unqualified, but she traffics in conspiracy theories and cozies up to dictators like Bashar-al Assad and Vladimir Putin,” Spanberger claimed in a post on X.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., called the choice of Gabbard as DNI “incredibly reckless,” declaring in a post on X, “Putting someone with known sympathies for foreign adversaries is not putting America’s interests first – it’s putting our security at risk.”

Rep. Seth Magaziner, D-R.I., seemed to suggest that having Gabbard serve as DNI would place national secrets at risk.

“Tulsi Gabbard’s deep ties to some of our nation’s most dangerous adversaries, including Bashar al-Assad of Syria and Vladimir Putin of Russia, make her an untrustworthy guardian of our nation’s most closely held secrets,” Magaziner said in the statement.

“As the highest-ranking intelligence official in the federal government, she would have access to information spanning everything from our nation’s nuclear weapons program to the location and activities of our military service members, and we cannot risk this information falling into the hands of our adversaries,” he asserted.

This tweet is the perfect response to liberals against Tulsi:

The left is rejecting Tulsi because they are sexist.

Am I doing it right?
