Sen. Mark Warner: Tulsi Gabbard ‘not competent’

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, on Friday bashed Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

“Tulsi Gabbard is not competent to be the director of national intelligence,” he told moderator Peter Baker at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado. “I believe she is trying to politicize the workforce and work product, and that makes America less safe.”

His comments came just before Gabbard released a Friday report alleging that Obama-era officials engaged in a “treasonous conspiracy” to alter intelligence regarding Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people,” Gabbard said.

The intelligence community has long concluded that Russia sought to influence the 2016 election.

Warner later on Friday railed against Gabbard’s report in a statement, citing the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation, which “reaffirmed that ‘the Russian government directed extensive activity against U.S. election infrastructure.'”

“This conclusion was supported on a unanimous basis by every single Democrat and Republican on the committee,” the long-time critic of Gabbard wrote, noting that the probe found that social media was used to benefit President Trump’s election.

A DNI official pushed back on Warner’s remarks Friday, calling him a “loser.”

“Since he’s dumb enough to fall for politicized intelligence like the debunked Russia Hoax, I think we’re good not taking advice from him,” Gabbard’s deputy chief of staff Alexa Henning wrote on the social media platform X.

Tulsi quite competent, of course.

Meanwhile, I’m listening to old Rhodes Scholar intel asset Naomi Wolf spin for the intel agencies yet again, as she did on Bannon yesterday. This re: Epstein, spewing the “oh, poor nerdy academics got caught up in this, but they’re still innocent” as an excuse to not release the info. But worse, she talks about the deeper issue of abusing girls while entirely skirting, so to speak, the Mossad blackmail angle.

Mark Warner IS the leading CIA/Intel deep-state member in Congress

The fact he is talking smack about Tulsi Gabbard should give everyone even more confidence in her.

Of course she’s not “competent” when the Democrats don’t agree and she’s absolutely right and over the target.

Mark Warner did all that he could to push the phony lie known as Russiagate in meeting with enforcement agencies, the intel community, and his adoring friends in the so-called “press”. He has no right to criticize anyone.

“The intelligence community has long concluded that Russia sought to influence the 2016 election.”

“SOUGHT to influence” - softening up the wording a bit, ehh?

Never heard of Alexa, but she’s KICKING SOME ASS with the above quote - must be quickly learning from the best - that being Tulsi. Hot looking too.

“trying to politicize”

In my 81 years, almost everything about the Federal Government is politicized...and especially foreign affairs.

Mark Warner is upset because his special pro-interventionist Democrat in alliance with similar Republicans niche is threatened to become irrelevant.

I don’t know about Warner specifically.

But when Tulsi was a Democrat, both in Congress and as a Presidential candidate, she was ostracized from the Democrat establishment.

It is speculated that one reason the Biden advisors chose Kamala Harris was she could unify the Dem factions in pity for the presidential candidate Tulsi so effectively destroyed.
