Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), who had supported Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as Director of National Intelligence, said her confirmation is in doubt after refusing to call Edward Snowden a traitor at her hearing, Punchbowl News reports.
Said Lankford: “I thought that was gonna be an easy softball question.”
When asked about her confirmation prospects, he added: “I think there are a lot of questions after it, yeah.”
Sen. John Curtis (R-UT), who is undecided on Gabbard, wasn’t impressed: “I leave today’s hearing with more questions than answers. Some of her responses, and non-responses, created more confusion than clarity and only deepened my concerns about her judgement.”
