The Mystery of Tulsi Gabbard

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

79% : In August, she endorsed Donald Trump, later saying, "A vote for President Trump is a vote to express our deep love for our country, and our appreciation for our God-given rights and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution."
70% : And in November, a few days after the election, Trump nominated Gabbard to be the next director of National Intelligence.
58% : At the end of that year, after Trump's election, she startled many of her Democratic supporters by meeting with Trump.
40% : Gabbard has long taken an interest in the case of Edward Snowden, a government contractor who leaked classified information in order to sound an alarm about state surveillance; he was charged with violating the Espionage Act, and has lived in exile, in Russia, for more than a decade.
38% : When Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, asked Gabbard what she would do if Trump directed her to withhold funds from the inspector general tasked with overseeing the intelligence community, Gabbard refuted the premise.
22% : (At the time, she was arguing that Trump deserved to be censured for his efforts to pressure Ukraine into announcing an investigation of Joe Biden, but she declined to support his impeachment -- she voted "present," instead of yea or nay.)
21% : But, during her testimony on Thursday, she betrayed no concern over the prospect that Trump might, in his second term, commit another such violation.
12% : In 2019, near the end of her eight years in Congress, Gabbard declared that Trump had "violated public trust."
