Former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley lit into President-elect Donald Trump nominating Tulsi Gabbard to be the director of national intelligence during Wednesdays episode of her SiriusXM program, Nikki Haley Live.
Haley, a former U.S. ambassador to the UN, ripped into Gabbard for her foreign policy positions while running as a Democrat for president during Trumps first term. Haley argued that the director of national intelligence is a job for an honest broker without any pronounced policy biases and warned that Gabbard is a Russian, Iranian, Syrian, Chinese sympathizer.
What are the facts about Tulsi Gabbard? She opposed ending the Iran nuclear deal. She opposed sanctions on Iran. She opposed designating the Iran military as terrorists who say death to America every single day. She said that Donald Trump turned the U.S. into Saudi Arabias prostitute. This is going to be the future head of our national intelligence, Haley began, adding:
In Congress, Tulsi criticized Trumps authoritarian strike against Qasem Soleimani. Now, I will remind you, he was considered the Master of Death in Iran. She said he had no justification whatsoever for killing him. She tried to limit Trumps war powers against Iran. She tried to cut our annual defense budget so that we couldnt punish Iran and hinder their influence. Reminder, Iran is our number one sponsor of terrorism and Tulsi Gabbard was defending Iran.

Read it on DU.
She groveled so much that's why this is surprising But I like it.

(12,460 posts)She's basically saying, in large part, that Tulsi is a bad choice because she has not been sufficiently supportive of Trump's positions.
She continues to try to have it both ways. Trying to show she's independent while also being a Trump sycophant.

(6,760 posts)She cannot bring herself to denounce Trump for nominating Tulsi or for his demonstrated Russian ties.
She surrended her power to the Russian puppet, endangered her family, along with all of us, and still cannot voice a strong call to action.

(10,361 posts)She is hoping Maga crashes and burns during trump's term so she can be there as the solution to Maga and pick up the pieces in 2028. It's her best chance because there is no way Trump is going to back her as a successor.
