The RCP podcast on Thursday<\/a> discussed Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, an outspoken non-interventionist whose entire political brand was based on opposing starting new wars. Will she be the next one out the door after Counterterrorism director Joe Kent, and what impact could that have on the Trump administration? “She sold T-shirts that said ‘No War With Iran!’ when she was a candidate for the presidency,” RCP White House reporter Wegmann said. “Tulsi Gabbard is out there parsing very carefully worded statements.” “But she kind of dodged the question of whether Iran was an imminent threat or not” during testimony yesterday<\/a>, RCP co-founder Tom Bevan said. “She’s fallen back on this argument, that it’s up to the president of the United States to determine what is and isn’t imminent. But yeah, there’s a lot of pressure, there’s a lot of heat on her. There’s been some reporting that she has been sidelined. Her people reject that characterization completely, but Kent was one of her deputies, and Kent previously served as her chief of staff. So she is in the limelight, and it may be uncomfortable,” Wegmann said. “If she resigns, then that threatens this coalition that Trump brought together, right? He expanded the tent with some of these disaffected Democrats who were sick and tired of war, and Tulsi Gabbard was the one who could make that pitch,” Wegmann said. “I think that’s a massive problem.” “And then does she go quietly, or does she do what Joe Kent did?”
