29. Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset, pure and simple...

Jul 2025

According to Adam Schiff:

After Tulsi Gabbard was selected as Donald Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence, the Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda was overjoyed. They wrote: “The CIA and FBI are trembling.” Sadly, the Russian newspaper is probably right about that. Another Russian state outlet called her a “Comrade.”

On a separate broadcast, top Putin mouthpiece Vladimir Solovyov, after gushing about Kash Patel, said: “And what about our girl? We have our girl there.” Our girl is evidently the Kremlin’s way of referring to Tulsi Gabbard. His guest asked so as to be sure, “Intelligence?” The answer was yes.

RT, yet another Russian outlet that Ms. Gabbard “regularly read and shared articles from”, took to Twitter to defend her. “We’ve got your back, Tulsi.” Yes, they certainly do. In September, it was revealed that RT was acting covertly on behalf of Moscow to spread propaganda in the United States. Not a surprise that RT has Tulsi Gabbard’s back. The question is should we?
