Summary
The Senate confirmed Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence in a 52-48 vote, with only Sen. Mitch McConnell breaking GOP ranks to oppose her.
Critics, including Democrats and some Republicans, raised concerns over her past meeting with Syria’s Assad, sympathetic comments on Russia, and prior support for Edward Snowden.
Gabbard reversed her stance on key intelligence policies during her confirmation.
I never agreed with him, but he’s at least an American. Maybe not the same ideals, but it’s clear he has some standards.
Always thought John McCain would be the last person I said that about.
Fuck McConnell. He played an enormous role in making this bed that we’re all forced to lie in now. No quarter.
unless there is a “hang” and a “draw” in front of it.
