This is BS Tulsi is a strong intelligent woman and does not flatter fools. She will tell him the facts.

Suddenly after years of lies now there's a report that proves there were 26 FBI informants at Capitol on January 6th. You-all are in for a rude awaking in 2025. You deserve everything that's coming, everything.

[thebilboshow]

It's a concern...for Lying Democrats.

[chriscoff]

MSNBC, did you have a role in covering up the FBI informants present at the capital on January 6th?

We're going to find out real soon😊

Good evening Lawrence O'Donnell 😊

Once Tulsi's in office, it sure would be a shame if Andrea Mitchell "accidentally" ended up on a certain list that disallows people to fly in the USA. Like what the Biden admin "accidentally" did to Tulsi.

The very very very very close relationship MSDNC has with the ClA is truly heartwarming

[WTaylor-by]

Tulsi is loved and admired by most. Going after her is a mistake.

[Giuseppe_]

I’m MAGA, all of MAGA supports her, she has served this country with HONOR and still serves this country.

[brandonroberts]

The workforce deserves to be disparaged.

[zipzip]

Joy Reid and Richard Maddow may be the most prolific propagandists on cable news!

[markhafen]

Good or bad She’s not qualified for the position period

[joshuapaul]

Sure, I suppose these guys are still looking for WMD in Iraq.😂😂😂Tulsi is a serving officer in the military with multiple combat deployments. Tulsi isn't divorced from reality which is a unique feature in DC. You can hardly find anyone better for DNI.

[garydavidson]

Russia state media loves this pick What can go wrong 😂😂

[kobomina]

Question who misused the “FBI, , , , ?

[dwmwk]

Gabbard may not be qualified for the DNI role, but she understands the assignment from Trump better than those who are qualified. As in ANY job recruitment, it often is not the best qualified who gets the job, but the one who portrays the best fit with the team.

[scottnichols-wgju]

Just have Israel send her a new cellphone.

[kewlglamma]

Interesting how the things we say and do in our younger years come back to dog us, eh Tulsi?

[lilliesu]

This lady’s speech sounds slurred. Reporters should know already that We don’t trust them anymore.

[wisdomsprince]

If allies don’t want to share intel that gives Trump a reason to pull out of NATO. If you don’t trust his administration I guess you don’t want its protection

[GaryEng-jm]

Tells him what he wants to hear ? At least we know who will be running the country ! Who. HAS been running the country ?
