Adam Schiff Smears Tulsi Gabbard as ‘Putin’s Girl’ in a Desperate Attempt to Block Her DNI Nomination
EXCERPT:
SCHIFF: “She has echoed Kremlin talking points about the origin of the war against Ukraine. She’s pushed out Russian propaganda about U.S. biolabs in Ukraine, one of the pretexts that Russia wanted to use for its invasion, to the point where RT, Russia Today, this propaganda outfit, is praising her to the degree that advisers close to Putin referred to her as 'our girl,' an interesting diminutive for someone who might be leading U.S. intelligence agencies. This is someone who met with Bashar Al Assad, came back, had, you know, wonderful things to say about how he wanted to get across the impression that he wouldn’t engage in terrible things against his own people when our own intelligence agencies were saying he has gassed his own people. So, hard to imagine someone more disqualified from running those agencies. But Republican opposition to all of these controversial, unqualified, disqualified nominees has collapsed — and maybe collapsed is too strong a word, because that presupposes there was an infrastructure to stand up to these bad choices to begin with. But nevertheless, they all seem headed for confirmation, which is just terrible for the country."
