Tulsi Gabbard slams Democrats over 'Putin, Modi' puppet charge in fiery speech

India Today  

Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump’s pick for national intelligence director, vigorously pushed back against the Democratic narrative that she is a puppet for the US President and world leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin, on Thursday. "Democrats have accused me of being Trump’s puppet, Putin’s puppet, Assad’s puppet, and Modi’s puppet, but what truly unsettles them is I refuse to be their puppet," she said during a tense confirmation hearing that could block her nomination to lead the country's vast intelligence apparatus. 'TRYING TO FOMENT RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY AGAINST HINDUS' After being tapped by Trump to lead the country's intelligence agency, Gabbard has faced criticism from several of her opponents over her Hindu faith. "Democrat senators in the past resorted to anti-Christian bigotry against some of President Trump’s judicial nominees like Amy Coney Barrett and Brian Buescher.
