Gabbard is on record arguing that the United States needs to stay out of Venezuela. After the boss launched a military operation in Venezuela over the weekend, has the DNI changed her mind? Its tough to say because Gabbard has suddenly vanished from public view. The Washington Post reported:
President Donald Trumps top national security advisers in recent days have outdone one another, publicly extolling his bold decision to launch the risky military raid that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. But one key figure has been largely absent from public view: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
Gabbard, an Iraq War veteran who for years has spoken out against costly U.S. interventions abroad, waited more than three days before commenting publicly about Operation Absolute Resolve.
The DNIs social media feed, traditionally quite active, has suddenly grown quiet.
Whats more, while Gabbard can usually be counted on to deliver tiresome talking points during appearances on conservative media outlets, the Post added that shes been missing in action from Fox News and other conservative broadcasts.
A Bloomberg News report added that Gabbard was deliberately excluded from the planning of the administrations military offensive in Venezuela, precisely because of her earlier, outspoken opposition to intervention in the South American country.
Gabbard is a Putin ally and should never have been confirmed
