In a recent segment on MSNBC, Senator-elect Adam Schiff shared his concerns about former Representative Tulsi Gabbard, who has been proposed by President-elect Donald Trump to lead the intelligence community. Schiff expressed that Gabbard lacks essential experience and has demonstrated poor judgment, noting she has never served on the Intelligence Committee and lacks military experience related to intelligence. Moreover, he pointed to Gabbard's past actions, including her defense of Russia's actions in Ukraine and her controversial meetings with Bashar al-Assad, as examples of her troubling judgment.
