The Washington political scene is like an old play, everyone playing their part, only Tulsi Gabbard, the outsider, once a darling of the progressive camp, then falling out with the Democratic Party, becoming a favorite of the right-wing, and ultimately ending up as the head of America’s intelligence community. Her appointment sparked panic among Washington’s elite and caused an existential crisis in the intelligence community. People questioned her meeting with Assad, her pro-Russia stance, her attacks on America’s foreign policy establishment, and her unpredictable political transformation. How did Tulsi Gabbard, from an obscure member of a fringe religious sect, become the most powerful intelligence official in the U.S. government? It seems that all this is laced with drama.
