Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., recently faced criticism for alleging that Tulsi Gabbard, President-elect Trump’s pick for Director of National Intelligence (DNI), is 'likely a Russian asset.' The claims were made without evidence during an MSNBC interview, prompting backlash online.
Wasserman Schultz's remarks drew sharp responses from commentators who highlighted her own controversies, including accusations of rigging the 2016 election and mishandling sensitive information. Critics pointed out that Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii who switched to the Republican Party, has a military background and served in Iraq as well as being an Army reservist.
