Vance Slams CBS Host Brennan For Trying To Smear Tulsi Gabbard
In a recent heated exchange, Vice President J.D. Vance came to the defense of Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination for Director of National Intelligence, sharply criticizing CBS anchor Margaret Brennan for what he called an unfair smear campaign against Gabbard.
During a segment on CBS’s Face the Nation, Brennan referenced criticisms from conservative outlets that labeled Gabbard’s nomination as “terrible,” pointing to her past positions on figures like Edward Snowden and skepticism around the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons. Vance dismissed these attacks as irrelevant and politically motivated, emphasizing that the final decision on cabinet appointments rests with the President.
“Margaret Brennan’s attempt to undermine Tulsi Gabbard is nothing more than a partisan effort to discredit a highly qualified nominee,” Vance said. “Tulsi has served honorably and brings the experience and character needed to restore trust in our intelligence community.”
Vance also highlighted that President Trump supports Gabbard’s nomination and is confident she will be confirmed by the Senate. The vice president urged viewers to look beyond media bias and focus on Gabbard’s credentials and service record.
The confrontation comes amid broader tensions between the Trump administration and certain media figures, with Vance accusing some journalists of perpetuating biased narratives against the administration’s picks.
As the confirmation process moves forward, all eyes will be on how Gabbard’s nomination withstands both political scrutiny and media examination.
