Trump wants a toady to oversee our national secrets. Her affection for our enemies is worse than you imagine

Gabbard has cozied up to at least two vicious dictators who are America’s enemies: Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his own civilians, and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, whose deadly invasion of Ukraine has resulted in one million deaths. Instead of holding the guilty accountable, she has defended Assad and blamed the United States and NATO for the Ukraine War.

” When she ran for president in 2019, Gabbard refused to call Assad a war criminal and – most alarmingly of all – declined to reply when asked if she would trust her own intelligence community if she were elected.
