Noah, I share your <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/12/tulsi-gabbards-syria-stance-is-a-stain-on-her-record/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wariness about Tulsi Gabbard</a>, and I am surprised you hadn’t mentioned this <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/05/tulsi-gabbard-national-intelligence-community-fears" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anecdote</a>:

During a congressional trip in 2015, Moustafa recalled, Gabbard had asked three young Syrian girls whether the airstrike they had narrowly survived may not have been launched by Assad, but rather by the terrorist group ISIS. The one problem? ISIS did not have an air force.

Also Gabbard, back in 2019, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/democratic-debate-transcript-july-31-2019-n1038016" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contended</a> that President Trump “is supporting Al Qaeda.”

Are we sure this is the kind of mind that the American people deserve as a director of national . . . intelligence?

Are we sure this is the kind of mind that the American people deserve as a director of national . . . intelligence?{ai:summary}Tulsi Gabbard's past comments raise concerns about her qualifications for a national intelligence role. In a 2015 trip, she questioned Syrian girls about an airstrike, suggesting it could be from ISIS, despite the group lacking an air force. Additionally, she claimed in 2019 that Trump was supporting Al Qaeda. These statements prompt skepticism about Gabbard's understanding of complex geopolitical issues and whether she is fit for such a significant position. #politics
