Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard suggested that some Democrats were guilty of crimes because they had stopped using the X social media platform.
During a Thursday interview on The Blaze, host Glenn Beck noted that former Secretary of State John Kerry had made his X account private, and Democratic attorney Marc Elias had also stopped using the platform.
“Are you sensing they feel the walls are closing in?” Beck asked Gabbard.
“In my view, that’s the only way that I can read this situation,” the Trump administration official replied. “Those who are truly innocent would not be taking those kinds of actions.”
“And once again, this is why it’s so important to declassify this information, to get the truth out,” Gabbard added, “because it’s something that for anyone who is mildly objective is irrefutable and undeniable and can be used and is currently being reviewed by the Department of Justice to bring about accountability for those involved.”
Elias later responded to Gabbard on the Bluesky social media network.
“Just another day where the Director of National Intelligence opines that I must be guilty of something for not posting on X,” the attorney wrote. “This is not normal. This is what it looks like when the Trump administration is targeting their political opponents.”
