CBS anchor Margaret Brennan attempted to use selective headlines to smear Tulsi Gabbard, which Vice-President J.D. Vance didn’t seem to like.
“Both the Wall Street Journal and the National Review, conservative publications, as you know, have been critical of Tulsi Gabbard. The Review called her ‘an atrocious nominee who deserves to be defeated.’ They compared her defense of Edward Snowden, the fugitive who stole U.S.
secrets, to an attorney general who thinks the mob gets a bad rap. Her refusal to accept U.S. intelligence findings that Assad gassed his own people, they said was ‘like a nominee for OMB Director not being able to count.
’ Does any of this give you pause putting her in charge of the U.S. intelligence community? Yes or no?” Brennan questioned.
Vance’s response was a firm one. “No, Margaret look, these are publications that attacked Donald J. Trump obsessively, but those publications don’t determine who the president is, the American people do, and Donald J. Trump is the person who determines who his cabinet is, not these publications that I think, frankly, have lost relevance.
