Gabbard goes viral showing off shooting skills on social media

DNI Tulsi Gabbard has been in the headlines for a lot of the wrong reasons lately.

As someone who was not totally on board with her nomination to serve as DNI, I can tell you she got a raw deal over her Iran nuclear threat assessment.

Her comments were taken out of context, but she may have just won over MAGA again with a rather impressive shooting video on social media.

Win them back

Nothing gets MAGA more fired up than some fun on the range, and Gabbard was quite impressive.

She only missed a handful of shots, and looked quite at home on the range and ranch in her video.

I have always liked Gabbard, but I liked her more as a Democrat helping the GOP than having her convert.

I always thought there would be problems, because she has some firm liberal beliefs that do not mesh with the conservative movement, but President Donald Trump decided to give her one of the most important intelligence posts in the administration.

The concerns coming in were that Gabbard would twist assessments to ensure the United States did not conduct strikes or even consider going to war, and the media knew this, which was likely why it cherry-picked her comments about Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

She stated that no order had been given to make Iran nuclear capable, but if you listened to her full testimony, she added that once approved, Iran could likely produce a weapon within months, if not weeks.

After Trump came out saying that he disagreed with Gabbard and that she was flat-out wrong, Gabbard tried to explain her comments, but that was all taking place in the media when she and Trump needed to have an in-person conversation. I still believe that Trump should have publicly given her a vote of confidence and admitted that he got it wrong, but that will never happen.

Which brings us to this video of Gabbard, showing off her ranch skills, but you will need to click here to see it on Instagram, as there are some blockers that will not show the video on private sites.

I am not sure this will win over those who are against her, though, as I have seen plenty of calls to have her removed.

Her only saving grace could be the recent statement made by Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel that Jeffrey Epstein did not have a client list, as MAGA is calling for Bondi, Patel, and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino all to be fired over those assertions.

As far as that is concerned, I believe either the information was already scrubbed, or, and far more likely, that list was so long and full of influential names that the decision was made to bury the information rather than implicate high-ranking government officials, past and present.
