Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) expressed condolences Friday to Tulsi Gabbard, who resigned from her position as President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence to focus on her husband, who is battling bone cancer — but he also called her out for endorsing the president’s decisions. “My thoughts go out to Tulsi Gabbard and her family, as her husband battles this serious health problem,” the California Democrat wrote Friday on X. “I hope and pray that he makes a speedy and full recovery.”

Gabbard stated she will be resigning next month, writing on X that her husband, Abraham, was recently diagnosed with “an extremely rare form of bone cancer.” Trump confirmed this in a post on Truth Social.

Schiff then went on the attack, targeting Trump and the policies that had the support of the outgoing national intelligence director. “While the circumstances around her departure are deserving of our sympathy, let’s be clear: Tulsi Gabbard’s only positive contribution to our national security is her resignation,” he said. “She politicized intelligence: She dismantled critical agencies keeping Americans safe.”

Schiff continued, “She weaponized the IC to pursue baseless election fraud claims ... We must ensure that her tenure — marked by a devotion to the person of the president and not to the security of the country — represents a terrible exception at DNI and not the new normal.”

1. Gabbard did the job she was hired to do.

She was thrown under the bus when she protected a CIA analyst who had the unmitigated temerity to tell the truth that Iran posed no imminent threat to the United States.
