Donald Trump has made some controversial nomination announcements so far. But as usual, the outraged opposition is setting the wrong priorities. As attention now turns to Hegseth (a mere continuation of the Gaetz sexual misconduct outrage) scarcely any attention is being paid to the fact that Tulsi “I hate everything about my country and always find a way to spout Russian propaganda” Gabbard is going to Trump’s highest intelligence official.
Gabbard would be second only to Donald Trump himself when it comes to handling the government’s intelligence. The main difference is that while Donald Trump will spend the next four years busy with a great many things, Gabbard will spend the next four years doing nothing but looking at classified information.
While it is right to be outraged by the actions of people like Gaetz and Hegseth, and while they are both clearly unqualified for the jobs, Gabbard is a much more important nomination. Her confirmation would be far more damaging to the country, and derailing her appointment should be the top priority.
