Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard commented on President Donald Trump’s capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro for the first time on Tuesday, sharing her “kudos” with the U.S. military for its “flawless” execution of Trump’s plan.

And her positivity stands out, considering Gabbard warned in 2019 it would be a “disaster” for the military to attack Venezuela. That comment was made when she was still a progressive Democrat, but now that she is on the Trump Train — and no Americans died in the operation — she seems to have no problem with it. Here’s what she had to say on Tuesday in her X post on the operation:

President Trump promised the American people he would secure our borders, confront narcoterrorism, dangerous drug cartels, and drug traffickers. Kudos to our servicemen and women and intelligence operators for their flawless execution of President Trump’s order to deliver on his promise thru Operation Absolute Resolve.
