Listening to #Gabbard talk about #cyber #espionage I’m like, she’s kidding right?
#Gabbard just had to explain why #Canada wasn’t in the threat assessment report. She answered that the report only includes countries that present the highest threats. Senator Heinrich specifically pointed to #Trump’s repeated claims there is “massive” & “unusually high” amounts of #fentanyl coming in through Canada to justify #tariffs.
Senator #AngusKing, grilled #Gabbard on why #ClimateChange had been excluded for the first time in the #ThreatAssessment report.
Gabbard again said the only included the highest threats.
King rattled off the MANY effects of Climate Change that threaten security. Migration, famine, poverty, social & political tensions, etc.
Then he directly asked if she ordered that climate threats be excluded. She said no.
The reason 100% is #Trump’s war on “wokeism”
Senator #MichaelBennet is going off! on #CIA director #JohnRatcliffe about the #Signal chat group.
#Bennet: “You’re the director of the CIA, and you didn’t check who was in the chat group?”
…
“Did you know the president’s Middle East adviser was in Moscow while on this thread?”
#Ratcliffe: I did not know that. (again, he’s the director of the CIA)
@Nonilex Imagine if this had happened during Biden’s presidency?! Republicans would have been having kittens! Today, crickets.
