John Brennan: Tulsi Gabbard ‘Has Parroted a Lot of Putin’s Talking Points’

EXCERPT:

BRENNAN: “I think there’s greater concern and very legitimate concern about Tulsi Gabbard being selected to lead the intelligence community. This is somebody who doesn’t have any intelligence background or experience. She has taken some very questionable and curious actions in terms of her road trip to Syria to meet with President Assad. Her claims, as pointed out, about bioweapons labs in Ukraine that the United States was involved in. She has parroted a lot of Putin’s talking points and Russian propaganda. So I do think that there is real concern about. Somebody who is expected to orchestrate the very complex and far-ranging activities of the 18 intelligence agencies and also by statute is the principal intelligence adviser to the president of the United States. So I think Tulsi Gabbard is going to have a far, far more difficult road to confirmation than would John Ratcliffe. I think the same is going to be true of Kash Patel, who, again, I think there are very, very legitimate questions about whether or not someone like that should be put in charge of not just this nation, but this world’s premier law enforcement agency.”
