Tulsi Gabbard
Tulsi Gabbard, an American politician and Army officer, faced the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on the 30th of January 2025 and turned a hostile question into a punchline. Her critics, she said, implied she was loyal to something other than God, her conscience and the Constitution. Then she listed them. They were "accusing me of being Trump's puppet, Putin's puppet, Assad's puppet, a guru's puppet, Modi's puppet, not recognizing the absurdity of simultaneously being the puppet of five different puppet masters."
The list is odd because the names pull in opposite directions. A president, a rival strongman, a Syrian ruler, a spiritual teacher and an Indian prime minister rarely share a single loyalty. Yet each name had been attached to her by someone at some point in her public life.
So who is she, and why does she draw suspicion from so many sides at once? How did a surfer raised in Hawaii, with a Hindu upbringing, become a soldier, a lawmaker and a presidential candidate? And what happens to a politician who is claimed by one camp and condemned by another, often in the same year?
Tulsi Gabbard was born on the 12th of April 1981 in Leloaloa, on Tutuila, the main island of American Samoa. She was the fourth of five children. Her father, Mike, was born in American Samoa and is of Samoan and European ancestry. Her mother, Carol, was born in Indiana and grew up in Michigan. When Tulsi was two years old, in 1983, the family returned to Hawaii, where they had lived in the late 1970s.
Her first name comes from tulasi, a plant considered sacred in Hinduism. Her mother became Hindu and gave Sanskrit names to all five children. The brothers are Jay, Bhakti and Aryan, and the sister is Vrindavan.
Growing up in Honolulu, Gabbard spent her childhood around a vegetarian restaurant her parents owned, The Natural Deli in Moiliili. She surfed, studied martial arts and practiced yoga. Apart from two years at a girls' school in the Philippines, she was mostly schooled at home. From the Bhagavad Gita she absorbed ideas such as karma, and as a teenager she adopted the Hindu faith.
Her parents also moved in a particular spiritual circle. They were associated with the Science of Identity Foundation, a Vaishnava-affiliated group. Gabbard once described its leader, Chris Butler, as essentially a Vaishnava Hindu pastor, and Butler in turn called her a star pupil. In 2024, Donald Trump's transition team said she had no affiliation with the group.
Politics arrived through her father. After the September 11 attacks he founded a nonprofit called Stand Up For America, where Gabbard worked as a young adult. Around 2001 he became active in local politics and won a seat on the Honolulu City Council. Gabbard briefly worked as an educator with the Healthy Hawai'i Coalition and taught martial arts on her own.
In 2002, at 21, she dropped out of Leeward Community College in Pearl City, where she had been studying television production. She ran for the state legislature instead. In the Democratic primary for the 42nd district she took 43% in a four-candidate field, then won the general election with 60.7% against Republican Alfonso Jimenez. She was then the youngest woman ever elected to a state legislature in the country. She was also the youngest legislator in Hawaii's history.
In April 2003 she enlisted in the Hawaii Army National Guard, while still serving in office. In July 2004 she shipped out for a 12-month tour in Iraq with a medical company, working at Logistical Support Area Anaconda. A challenger named Rida Cabanilla had filed against her and demanded she resign, arguing she could not represent her district from a war zone. A Defense Department directive issued in August 2004 would have barred her from voting on bills during active duty. Gabbard skipped the campaign. Cabanilla won the primary with 58%, although state law kept Gabbard's name on the ballot.
She came home with a Combat Medical Badge, earned in 2005. Later honors included the Meritorious Service Medal and the German Armed Forces Badge for Military Proficiency. In March 2007 she finished the Accelerated Officer Candidate School at the Alabama Military Academy at the top of her class, the first woman to do so. She was commissioned a second lieutenant in the 29th Infantry Brigade Special Troops Battalion, as a military police officer. From 2008 to 2009 she led a military police platoon in Kuwait. She was one of the first women to enter a Kuwaiti military facility and the first woman to receive an award of appreciation from the Kuwait National Guard. In 2009 she finished a business degree at Hawaii Pacific University.
Her uniform career kept going alongside politics. On the 12th of October 2015 she was promoted from captain to major at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. In June 2020 she moved to the 351st Civil Affairs Command, a California-based Army Reserve unit. She was promoted to lieutenant colonel on the 4th of July 2021 while deployed to the Horn of Africa as a civil affairs officer, and then took command of the 1st Battalion, 354th Regiment, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
In September 2010, ten candidates crowded a nonpartisan primary for the Honolulu City Council's 6th district, a seat covering parts of downtown including Alewa Heights and Kalihi Valley. Gabbard finished first with 26.8%. Rod Tam had vacated the seat to run for mayor. Opponents accused her of improperly using the tax-exempt Stand Up for America nonprofit, whose website carried content promoting her campaign. She called it an honest mistake by a volunteer and denied knowing about it. In the November runoff she beat Sesnita Moepono with 49.5% of the vote.
On the council she introduced a measure easing parking restrictions for food truck vendors. She also pushed Bill 54, which let city workers confiscate belongings stored on public property after giving the owner 24 hours notice. The American Civil Liberties Union and Occupy Hawai'i opposed it, yet it passed as City Ordinance 1129.
When Mazie Hirono launched a Senate campaign in early 2011, her House seat for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district opened up. Gabbard declared in May 2011. Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann was considered the frontrunner in a six-way primary, but she won with 55%. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser called it an "improbable rise from a distant underdog to victory." She resigned from the council on the 16th of August 2012 to focus on the race.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi invited her to speak at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, where she was introduced as "an emerging star." Her remarks ran about a minute. In November she beat Republican Kawika Crowley with 80.6%, becoming the first voting Samoan American and the first Hindu member of Congress. A month later she applied for the Senate seat left open by the death of Daniel Inouye, but the Hawaii Democratic Party did not forward her name to the governor.
Her early bills leaned on her service record. In March 2013 she introduced the Helping Heroes Fly Act, which sped up airport screening for severely wounded veterans. It passed unanimously in both chambers and President Obama signed it. With Senator Hirono she co-sponsored a Congressional Gold Medal for Filipino and Filipino American veterans of World War II, signed in December 2016. Her Talia's Law targeted child abuse and neglect on military bases, passed in February 2016 and signed that December. In 2017 she introduced the Off Fossil Fuels Act, aiming at 100% clean energy by 2035. In 2018 she introduced the Securing America's Election Act, requiring paper ballots for an auditable trail, which Common Cause endorsed.
Her committee work followed the same theme. She sat on Armed Services from 2013 to 2021, on Foreign Affairs from 2013 to 2019, briefly on Homeland Security, and on Financial Services from 2019. In 2018 she passed an amendment improving protective equipment for civil defense agencies near volcanic activity. She also pressed for a fresh safety review of the Runit Dome, a leaking Cold War nuclear waste site in the Marshall Islands. Her caucus memberships included the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the Medicare for All Caucus.
On social issues her record shifted dramatically. In 1998, aged 17, she supported her father's successful campaign to amend the Hawaii constitution so lawmakers could reserve marriage to opposite-sex couples. By 2012 she was apologizing for her anti-gay advocacy and promising to fight for repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act. She cosponsored the repeal legislation in June 2013. The Human Rights Campaign rated her 92%, 88%, 100% and 84% across her four terms. She apologized again after launching her presidential campaign, crediting her time serving alongside LGBTQ troops.
On other topics she pushed against both parties. She wanted federal marijuana prohibition ended, and in January 2020 she cited Portugal's model while calling for legalizing and regulating all drugs. She favored clear labeling of genetically modified foods, and in 2016 voted against a GMO bill she judged too weak. She backed what she called Single Payer Plus, a universal plan loosely modeled on Australia's system. In 2016 she co-signed a letter supporting the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe against the Dakota Access Pipeline. On immigration she voted with Republicans in 2015 to tighten vetting of Iraqi and Syrian refugees, while at other times supporting an easier path to citizenship.
On the 22nd of January 2013, House colleagues unanimously elected Gabbard a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee. By September 2015 she was publicly attacking chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz for limiting the number of 2016 primary debates. She was reportedly asked to skip the October 2015 debate in Las Vegas. On the 28th of February 2016 she resigned the vice chairmanship to endorse Bernie Sanders, accusing Wasserman Schultz of favoring Hillary Clinton. She explained herself on Meet the Press and started a petition to abolish superdelegates. At the convention that summer she delivered the nominating speech for Sanders.
The Sanders connection echoed through the general election. California listed her as his running mate for write-in votes. A Minnesota faithless elector cast a ballot for Sanders as president and Gabbard as vice president, but state law nullified it.
In February 2019 she launched her own presidential campaign, the first female combat veteran to run for the office. CNN described her platform as anti-interventionist abroad and populist on the economy. After the first, second and fourth Democratic debates she was the most Googled candidate. In the second debate she accused Kamala Harris of holding innocent people on death row as California's attorney general, saying Harris owed them an apology.
That same debate produced her most replayed exchange. Asked about meeting Bashar al-Assad, she said she "will never apologize for doing all that I can to prevent more of my brothers and sisters from being sent into harm's way to fight counterproductive regime change wars." Anderson Cooper asked if Assad was a torturer and murderer. She first said "That's not what this is about," then, pressed again, "I don't dispute that." The next day CNN panelist A.B. Stoddard noted online talk that Russian bots were boosting Gabbard, and warned that "There are serious knives out for Tulsi Gabbard."
She missed the polling threshold for the third debate but qualified for the fourth, in Ohio in October 2019. In July 2019 she was the only candidate to visit Puerto Rico and join protests urging Governor Ricardo Rosselló to resign. On the 25th of October 2019 she announced she would not seek reelection to the House. Between October and December 2019 she missed 85% of House votes, though her absentee rate resembled that of other members running for president.
In October 2019, Hillary Clinton suggested Gabbard was a "Russian asset." Early reports also claimed Clinton said Russia was grooming her as a third-party spoiler, which the later accounts corrected. Gabbard had repeatedly said she would not run as a third-party candidate and did not. Andrew Yang, Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders rejected Clinton's suggestion, and so did Trump. CNN host Van Jones called it "a complete smear with no facts." Gabbard hit back, calling Clinton "the queen of warmongers." She filed a defamation suit in January 2020, then dropped it five months later, her lawyers citing a "post-Covid world" in which they could use their attention elsewhere.
Media treatment became its own story. Vanity Fair summarized coverage as "the press hates Gabbard even more than it hates Sanders." Saturday Night Live parodies after the November and December debates cast her as a villain with menacing music and an evil laugh.
December brought a different kind of controversy. When the House voted to impeach Trump for the first time, she voted "present," citing Federalist Papers No. 65 and protesting what she called a political zero-sum game. She introduced H. Res. 766 to censure Trump instead, leaving removal to voters.
On the 3rd of March 2020 she earned two delegates in American Samoa. That made her the first Asian American and Pacific Islander presidential candidate to win primary delegates, and the second woman of color after Shirley Chisholm. On the 19th of March 2020 she ended her campaign and endorsed Joe Biden. She was the only candidate with delegates who was not invited to the Democratic convention.
In 2016 Gabbard summed up her outlook with two animals. She called herself a hawk on the war against terrorists, and a dove on "counterproductive wars of regime change." Her record shows both instincts, and each earned her enemies.
On the hawk side, she backed the military campaign against ISIS and Al Qaeda. In a 2015 CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer she criticized the Obama administration for refusing to say its real enemy was Islamic extremists. Her Stop Arming Terrorists Act, introduced in 2017, became law on the 20th of December 2019 through the National Defense Authorization Act, barring the Defense Department from knowingly supporting Al Qaeda or its affiliates.
That same hawkishness led her to Cairo in 2015, where she met Egypt's ruler Abd al-Fattah al-Sisi. Afterward she praised his "great courage and leadership" against "Islamist ideology." Critics noted that Sisi's regime was responsible for the killing of more than 800 people in the Rabaa massacre, and journalist Evan Hill described her outlook as authoritarianism cloaked as counter-terrorism.
The dove side collided with Syria. In January 2017 she spent a week on what she called a fact-finding mission to Syria and Lebanon, and she met Assad twice, in meetings she described as unplanned. The trip was arranged by two Lebanese American men connected to the Syrian Social Nationalist Party. It was the first visit by a U.S. lawmaker since Pelosi's in 2007, and it came under a State Department travel warning. The House Ethics Committee approved it, and a Cleveland-based Arab American group sympathetic to Assad paid for it. After the funding drew controversy, Gabbard reimbursed the cost herself.
She told CNN's Jake Tapper that if people care about Syrians' suffering, they must be willing to meet anyone who might bring peace. Critics on both sides of the aisle said the meeting gave Assad credibility despite civilian deaths under his rule. A Ron Paul Institute article thanked her for seeing through a bipartisan war policy. Afterward she wrote that there is no difference between "moderate" rebels and al-Nusra or ISIS. In 2018 she said America had waged a regime change war in Syria since 2011. In August 2019 she called Assad a brutal dictator, comparing him to Saddam Hussein and Gadhafi.
The pattern surfaced again over Ukraine. On the 11th of February 2022 she said Biden could prevent a war by guaranteeing Ukraine would not join NATO. On the day Russia invaded she blamed the Biden administration and NATO for not acknowledging Russia's "legitimate security concerns." Three days later she urged an agreement making Ukraine neutral, "embracing the spirit of aloha." On the 4th of April 2022 she tweeted at Putin that his attack was reprehensible and a huge geopolitical error, urging him to pull out. Russian state media has praised her, but the New York Times noted in 2024 that no evidence connects her to any Russian agency.
Elsewhere, she opposed Trump's trade war with China, warning it could lead to a hot war. In December 2023 she questioned the remilitarization of Japan. She criticized the 2020 strike that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani as an act of war lacking congressional authorization. After Hamas attacked Israel on the 7th of October 2023, she strongly backed Israel and opposed a Gaza ceasefire. In 2017 she visited Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, which led Azerbaijan to blacklist her. In 2019 she co-sponsored the Armenian Genocide Resolution.
In January 2021, with her congressional career behind her, Gabbard launched a podcast called This is Tulsi Gabbard. She also became a regular on Fox News. There she called Representative Adam Schiff a "domestic terrorist" after the storming of the U.S. Capitol and criticized Nancy Pelosi. In November 2021 she tweeted that Terry McAuliffe's loss in Virginia's governor race was "a victory for all Americans."
Her rightward drift reached policy in April 2022, when she told Hannity that Florida's Parental Rights Bill did not go far enough, since it covered only grades K through 3. She wanted it to run through twelfth grade. In 2020 she had already introduced the Protect Women's Sports Act with Republican Markwayne Mullin, which drew the Human Rights Campaign's condemnation: "Gabbard has lost all credibility as an ally." She also spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2022, which drew criticism from Hawaii Democrats.
On the 11th of October 2022 she left the Democratic Party. She accused its leaders of "cowardly wokeness, anti-white racism," hostility toward people of faith, and "dragging us closer to nuclear war." She then campaigned for Trump-backed Republicans including Don Bolduc, Adam Laxalt, JD Vance and Kari Lake.
Television gave her a bigger platform. In August 2022 she became a fill-in host for Tucker Carlson Tonight and kept guest hosting until the show's cancellation in 2023. In November 2022 she signed on as a paid Fox News contributor, appearing on shows such as The Five, Outnumbered and Gutfeld!.
By 2024 commentators were floating her as a possible Trump running mate. On the 22nd of February 2024 she spoke at CPAC. On the 6th of March, a Fox & Friends host asked directly about serving as vice president, and she answered, "I would be honored to serve our country in that way." Trump listed her among his possible choices. On the 26th of August 2024 she endorsed his reelection at a National Guard Association gathering in Michigan. The next day she became an honorary co-chair of his transition team alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In October 2024 she formally joined the Republican Party.
On the 13th of November 2024, President-elect Trump nominated Gabbard to be director of national intelligence, praising her military experience and leadership. Democrats and critics quickly assembled a case against her. Former CIA Director Leon Panetta questioned her lack of intelligence experience and her opposition to U.S. involvement in Ukraine. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Jason Crow, Tammy Duckworth and Elizabeth Warren called her a "likely Russian asset." More than 100 former national security officials signed a letter opposing her. The New York Times noted that Russian media had amplified her views but found no evidence of collaboration with Russian intelligence. Her spokesperson dismissed the attacks as politically motivated.
Supporters were just as numerous. Senator Eric Schmitt argued that political differences do not equal disloyalty, and Senator Markwayne Mullin rejected claims that Russia had compromised her. Over 250 veterans signed a supportive letter, including Representative Brian Mast and former Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher C. Miller. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio pointed to her military and congressional record. The National Border Patrol Council and the National Sheriffs' Association endorsed her, and former CIA counterterrorism chief Bernard Hudson praised her integrity.
At the hearing, senators pressed her on Edward Snowden. She denied knowing him while he worked at an NSA facility near Wahiawa in Hawaii, and she defended her past push to reform the Espionage Act. Senators repeatedly asked her to call Snowden a traitor, and she declined, citing the legal and political weight of the word. She acknowledged that he broke the law and caused harm, and said she would not, as director, advocate his pardon. Senator Michael Bennet challenged her on Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. She defended 702 as necessary, with reforms such as warrants for certain queries of Americans.
On her 2017 Syria trip, she said Dennis Kucinich had arranged the meetings and denied knowing of extremist remarks by the Grand Mufti Ahmad Badreddin Hassoun. She promised whistleblowers a direct hotline to the director's office. She also told Senator Todd Young she would not protect anyone who improperly disclosed classified programs. Senators Susan Collins and James Lankford then backed her.
The Intelligence Committee advanced the nomination 9-8 on party lines on the 4th of February 2025. Senator Lisa Murkowski announced her support on the 10th, citing Gabbard's commitment to oversight and civil liberties. On the 12th of February the Senate confirmed her 52-48, with Mitch McConnell the only Republican voting no. She was sworn in that day by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The new director led 18 U.S. intelligence agencies and served as the president's top intelligence adviser. She became the first female military combat veteran in the post, and the first Pacific Islander American and first Hindu American to hold a Cabinet-level position. Her first trip abroad was to the Munich Security Conference. In March 2025 she toured Japan, Thailand and India, stopping first in Hawaii, home of the Indo-Pacific Command headquarters, and speaking at the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi.
That same month she was one of several senior officials in a Signal group chat about planned strikes in Yemen that accidentally included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg. Mike Waltz had added him. Gabbard told Congress it was a mistake, but said none of the discussion was classified. Reporters at Der Spiegel then used leaked data to find personal online accounts tied to her and other officials. Her office said she had not used them in years.
In May 2025 she reoriented intelligence toward border security, counterterrorism and counternarcotics. She moved the National Intelligence Council into her own office and fired two of its officials after the council contradicted the administration's view of Venezuelan gang members. In July 2025 she released a classified House Republican report from September 2020 claiming Obama's administration had manipulated intelligence about Russia's 2016 election efforts. She called it "irrefutable evidence" of a "treasonous conspiracy." Obama dismissed it as "outrageous and ridiculous."
In August 2025 she announced a 50% cut to her office's staff and a $700 million reduction in annual funding. Federal News Network said she had already cut staff by 25%, and the BBC said it was unclear which baseline the 50% used. She also revoked the clearances of 37 officials accused of politicizing intelligence or leaking it. In December 2025 she accused the Council on American-Islamic Relations of seeking sharia in the United States, and claimed Paterson, New Jersey, planned to impose it. Mayor Andre Sayegh rejected the claim, and Senator Cory Booker called it dishonest.
In January 2026 she was briefly present at the FBI raid on the Fulton County, Georgia election office, saying Trump asked her to attend and that she held broad statutory authority over election security. A month later came allegations that she was stonewalling a whistleblower complaint over her handling of a call mentioning Jared Kushner.
Iran ended up dividing her from the president. In March 2025 she testified that the intelligence community continued to assess Iran was not building a nuclear weapon. By June 2025 she said she agreed with Trump that Iran could build one within weeks, and blamed media for taking her March testimony out of context. She backed claims that June strikes had destroyed Iran's nuclear facilities. In March 2026 she told the Senate Intelligence Committee that it was not the intelligence community's responsibility to determine what is an imminent threat, because that was the president's call. She warned that Iran could develop an ICBM before 2035, and listed Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and Pakistan among countries developing missiles that could reach the U.S. homeland. That month Trump called her "softer" on Iran.
On the 22nd of May 2026 she resigned, saying her husband had been diagnosed with bone cancer, effective the 30th of June. Trump named Aaron Lukas acting director. Some sources said she was pushed out, others that she was not forced but had lost White House influence. CNN reported that before the Iran strikes Trump asked whether rumors of her resigning were true, and she said they were not. Two months earlier her top aide Joe Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, had left over the war with Iran and urged the president to "reverse course."
