Tulsi Gabbard's history of sympathizing with authoritarian regimes and amplifying Kremlin propaganda raises serious concerns about her ability to lead the U.S. Intelligence Community with integrity and impartiality. Her controversial meeting with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in 2017, questioning of his war crimes, and alignment with Russia's invasion of Ukraine demonstrate a disturbing pattern of siding with America's adversaries over democratic values. Given the Director of National Intelligence's critical role overseeing our nation's intelligence agencies and advising the President on national security matters, Gabbard's questionable allegiance disqualifies her for this crucial position demanding utmost trustworthiness in safeguarding sensitive information and intelligence sources and methods. I urge you to thoroughly scrutinize her record and reject her nomination to protect the independence and credibility of U.S. intelligence operations.
