Senate GOP hawks who receive large sums from the defense industry could be mobilizing to tank one of President-elect Donald Trump’s national security nominees.
Former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, nominated by Trump to helm the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, could face opposition from Senate Republicans with hawkish views on national security over her beliefs on Ukraine and government surveillance powers. Though a considerable number of Trump-aligned senators have endorsed Gabbard, citing her decades-long military service and commitment to reforming the country’s intelligence agencies that have been frequently weaponized against the president-elect, GOP senators whose national security views appear to sharply diverge from Gabbard’s have mostly refrained from supporting her nomination.

The following GOP senators with hawkish views on U.S. foreign policy could stand in the way of Gabbard’s confirmation, according to a DCNF review of Senate Republicans’ statements on Gabbard’s nomination to serve as Trump’s chief intelligence officer and their past support for Ukraine and FISA.

I’m getting SO SO SICK of these RINOS..
I am more sick of the corruption and graft that goes on with both sides. They all sell us down the river for their coffers enlargement.
Probably because they still see her as a democrat.
Lobbying = Bribery
Jail them!
These useless basstid need to get behind the program or get outta the way.
Taking money for their vote? Low life scum of the earth.
The group mentioned above love themselves some democrats. If anything it's because she switched.
Make them vote.
Are there any Senators who haven’t taken large checks from corporations?
The usual suspects. Nothing to read here…
That makes no sense.
Time to take out the trash—all of it at the voting booth. Remember these charlatans people.
I still consider her a Dim until she comes out and refutes all of her prior Bernie Bot stances.
Not on the list because she is a subject for a different discussion, but I’ll just mention it here, is Joni Ernst who is backing away from her objections to Pete Hegseth (at least publicly).
I don’t think she expected the swift and harsh push-back she has received. John Rich said today that he would spend time before her 2026 primary election touring with any candidate with a strong campaign who will run against her.
I don’t think the GOP is used to so many conservatives paying attention to the Presidential nominees and keeping up with who is (and who is not) voicing support for Trump’s cabinet picks. They do not realize that we are playing a different ballgame than they are used to playing in the past.
Not team players but Scum
Follow the money. Many have empty pockets from the election expenses. They had to run political ads to pay the media off.
No-it is because those 6 RINOs always vote with democrats because they have been in thrall to the the defense industry for endless, money-wasting wars for years-just look at their past records. They don ‘t care what Tulsi Gabbard’s politics are-she will get in the way of their grift...
