Donald Trump picks Tulsi Gabbard for the director of the US National Intelligence

Washington (USA) – President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, former Democratic lawmaker Tulsi Gabbard, has been accused of amplifying Russian propaganda and would come to the job having never worked in the intelligence world or served on a congressional intelligence committee. Trump described Tulsi as a ‘proud Republican’. Tulsi Gabbard will bring her fearless nature to the intelligence department as well. “Being a former Democratic presidential contender, Tulsi Gabbard enjoys support from both parties. I hope we will be proud of them”, he said.

Who is Tulsi Gabbard ?

A military veteran who served with a medical unit in Iraq, Gabbard has set a number of political precedents in her career. She was first elected to the Hawaii State Legislature aged 21 in 2002, the youngest person ever elected in the state. She left after one term when her National Guard unit was deployed to Iraq. Gabbard went on to represent Hawaii in Congress from 2013 until 2021 – becoming the first Hindu to serve in the House.

She previously championed liberal causes like government-run healthcare, free college tuition and gun control. These issues were part of her 2020 run for the Democratic presidential nomination – which she eventually dropped out of, endorsing Joe Biden.

Tulsi has no connection with India; but her mother had converted to Hinduism. So she also named her children according to Hindu religion. Tulsi Gabbard also believes in Hinduism. She took the oath in Parliament by placing his hands on Shrimadbhagawadgeeta. Also, she has raised her voice many times regarding atrocities on Hindus.
