WASHINGTON (PNN) - February 12, 2025 - Tulsi Gabbard has been confirmed as Director of National Intelligence by a 52-48 vote in a massive blow to the Deep State bureaucrats.
There was only one GOP defection while no Democrats supported her. It will not surprise you to learn that the lone no GOP vote came from Mitch McConnell (Kent.).
Gabbard was perhaps the President Donald J. Trump nominee with the biggest question mark due to her long-held opposition to foreign wars and advocacy against intelligence agencies spying on the Amerikan people.
At various points, RINO Senators such as Susan Collins of Maine, John Curtis of Utah, and Todd Young of Indiana all expressed concerns about her views and ability to serve Amerika.
Most of the rumors surrounded Collins. She previously told The Hill that she had many concerns about Gabbard’s stance on Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which gives government permission to spy on “foreign” targets without a warrant and was rumored to derail her nomination on The Senate Intel Committee.
There was even talk about the Senate Intel Committee hiding their votes from the Amerikan people so no one would know they voted.
This would have proved convenient if they decided to kill Gabbard’s nomination; but Gabbard made it through the Committee.
The full Senate on Monday night then voted 52-46 to invoke cloture and advance Gabbard’s confirmation as DNI to a final Senate vote.
Today, every Republican but McConnell fell in line. Yet another reason for him to retire for good.
