Sen. Mitch McConnell was the only Republican in the Senate to vote against Tulsi Gabbard to be America’s director of national intelligence, and he issued a scathing statement afterward that described her as a national security risk.
“[McConnell] said, explaining his vote against her, he said the nation should not have to worry that the intelligence assessments the president receives are tainted by a director of national intelligence with a history of alarming lapses in judgment,” reported Raju. “He goes on to cite her past comments about Edward Snowden and about Russia and the like, and he said that he called her a quote, unnecessary risk for this position.”
CNN reporter Manu Raju said that this may be a sign of things to come from McConnell, who was also one of three Republicans to vote against Pete Hegseth’s confirmation to be secretary of defense.
“When he was leader, he was okay taking the arrows for his party, taking unpopular positions, even if he perhaps didn’t ultimately believe that that was the way he personally felt,” Raju said. “But now he has said his shackles are off, that he’s no longer the Republican leader. As you can see, he’s sending a signal to President Trump.”
Maybe McConnell, with his China Connections and his mental lapses, is too big a security risk.
Mitch is the senator who agrees with Chuck Schumer on almost everything.

Director Gabbard is a security risk, but the Turtle, a CCP asset who is in early stage dementia, is not? C’mon, man!
You are right about the turtle but Gabbard is no risk at all from what I’ve read of her past. Questioning the status quo should be the highest form of recommendation for powerful offices.
I hope you realize I was not calling Gabbard a security risk. She’s just the opposite and one of the most, if not the most, patriotic members of Trump’s new cabinet. I fully expect Tulsi Gabbard to one day become the first female POTUS and was only highlighting the ridiculousness of McConnell’s statement.

A classic case of the pot calling the kettle black!
Sound like 25th amendment should have also address senators. McConnel does not seem to be of sound mind.
His public “fugues” should be enough to get him removed now. Right now. Or do we have to wait until he tries to make his horse a member of congress?
This man is obviously mentally impaired.
Turtle issued a scathing statement finding TG a risk? He’s barely got a pulse! Be that as it may, we’re being “Biden-ed” again. Incompetent Elected Official + their handlers working against our interests = We lose! They cannot be allowed to stay in office.
Of course people like him wear it as a badge of honor but he is the Most hated politician by all sides. How many had to suck up to him just for the money. How many seats have been lost solely due to him being anti-MAGA.
Who can trust a politician who’s net worth together is 60 million dollars, especially after being in Congress for so long.
