The former Democrat and now a member of the Republican Party has previously repeated Russian propaganda about “Ukrainian biolaboratories.”
US President-elect Donald Trump has announced that he plans to appoint Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence. He used to belong to the Democratic Party and competed against Joe Biden in the 2020 election, and then spread Russian propaganda. The Hill reported this on Wednesday, November 13.
“For more than two decades, Tulsi has fought for our country and the freedom of all Americans. As a former Democratic presidential candidate, she has broad bipartisan support – now she’s a proud Republican! ” – the publication quoted Trump’s statement.
At the same time, the president-elect expressed confidence that Gabbard will bring a fearless spirit to the intelligence community, and will also defend constitutional rights and ensure peace in positions of power.
Gabbard served four terms in Congress as a Democrat but left the party in 2022 and officially became a Republican earlier this year.
He also talked about “Ukrainian biological laboratories” and that “the United States is to blame for the military aggression” of Russia, because it “provoked” the aggressor for many years. And Gabbard called US policy in Ukraine “a second Afghanistan.”
Earlier, Trump officially announced that he intends to nominate Senator Marco Rubio from Florida for the position of Secretary of State.
It can be remembered that Trump confirmed the appointment of Florida Congressman Mike Waltz as national security adviser in his future administration.
