Combat experience matters more than political games. Tulsi knows national security from the ground up.
Actually, the DNI role requires specific expertise in intelligence operations. Military service alone doesn't qualify.
Can't believe they're trying to take down Tulsi! She served our country while these senators were sitting in DC
The Snowden question is legitimate. You can't have a DNI who won't call him what he is - a traitor.
Funny watching Republicans suddenly care about sexism when it's their nominee 🙄
Deep state trying to block another outsider. Same playbook they used against Trump! 😤
