The endorsement letter highlighted their confidence in Gabbard’s capabilities, stating, “We have no doubt that Lt. Col. Gabbard is the right person to be the DNI and will work tirelessly to keep our nation safe, just as she has done for the past two decades.”
The NBPC emphasized the crucial role of intelligence operations in maintaining border security. Their letter addressed various threats, noting that “The U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), led by the DNI, plays an integral role in our border security by monitoring the potential for these threats to enter our country. From transnational criminal organizations operating in North, Central, and South America to foreign terrorist organizations and hostile state actors, these entities and individuals will always attempt to exploit our unsecure borders to further their activities that threaten the American people.”
RFK Jr. calls out the Biden admin for putting Tulsi Gabbard on a terrorist watch list:
“It’s critical that people know that our institutions and government are not politicized and that they're blind to your political affiliation.”
