Reuters has a story out suggesting as many as eight Republican senators might not vote for Tulsi Gabbard as DNI, but of course, the sources "declined" to name who those senators might be.

I've checked with actual sources inside the Senate and they tell me this story is garbage. They all affirmed that Tulsi is likely to get through with 50-52 GOP votes PLUS any Dems who might support her like Bernie or Fetterman.

But you see, this is the DC playbook: Plant a story to sow doubt, use anonymous sources to do it, and astroturf a negative news cycle in hopes of forcing out someone the war machine fears.

Until a GOP Senator is willing to put his or her name behind it — and risk a primary challenge — it's FAKE NEWS.
