On Tuesday’s episode of The Ingraham Angle, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard addressed criticism from Democrats and the media regarding her role in revealing the truth behind the 2016 Russia hoax investigation. Gabbard sharply criticized figures like Sen. Mark Warner (D‑VA) and mainstream outlets for dismissing whistleblowers and discouraging challenges to Washington’s intelligence apparatus.
Host Laura Ingraham referenced Senator Warner’s X post, in which he labeled Gabbard “a threat to our national security and should be fired.” Gabbard responded by calling Warner “a reliable soldier” for the entrenched warmongers in Washington and accused him of following orders without question.
“These very same tactics being used now are the same tactics used whenever anyone challenges the narrative of self‑serving war interests,” Gabbard said. She emphasized her opposition to perpetual military engagements and suggested that exposing those behind war policy has made her a target for powerful elites.
She also warned voters not to accept statements from the mainstream media or political insiders “at face value.” “We’re seeing this revealed in real time,” Gabbard told Ingraham. “What constitutes the Deep State? It’s all being exposed now. We need to use common sense and demand transparency.”
Gabbard’s comments come as she oversees U.S. intelligence operations and continues to question the legacy of the Russia probe. She positions herself as a voice for accountability and challenges the alignment between political elites and corporate media.
Her critics, predominantly in the Democratic Party and national security establishment, continue to portray her as an unreliable director. But Gabbard insists that she is upholding constitutional values and protecting American freedoms against propaganda and false narratives pushed by both partisan politics and legacy media.
Ingraham echoed Gabbard’s sentiments, noting that the systematic demonization of dissenters is a hallmark of Washington insiders trying to maintain control. For Gabbard, the focus remains on ensuring that intelligence is accountable to the American people—not to special interests or political pressure.
