During a CBS interview, Vice President J.D. Vance defended Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination for Director of National Intelligence,
dismissing criticisms from conservative outlets like the Wall Street Journal and National Review. When CBS anchor Margaret Brennan questioned Gabbard’s qualifications, Vance firmly stated that such publications no longer held significant influence, emphasizing Gabbard’s military service and character. He argued that her appointment could restore trust in the intelligence community, which he said had become politicized. Vance’s strong support highlighted the importance of judging nominees by their merits, not media narratives.
