Senator Mullin Rips Democrat Senator’s ‘Outright Dangerous’ Attack On Tulsi Gabbard

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) slammed Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s (D-IL) attack on former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) over the weekend, calling her smear “outright dangerous.”

Mullin made the remark during a Sunday interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” while responding to Duckworth’s attacks on Gabbard — whom President-elect Donald Trump has tapped to be his Director of National Intelligence — just moments prior on the same show.

Duckworth claimed that Gabbard, who is now a Republican, was “compromised” and potentially someone who “will not have America’s best interests at heart.”

When asked to respond to Duckworth’s attacks, Mullin said he thought they were “ridiculous and outright dangerous words.”

“You have got to keep in mind that Tulsi Gabbard is still a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army,” he said. “She commands a Reserve unit here in Oklahoma and Missouri. If she was compromised, if she wasn’t able to pass a background check, if she wasn’t able to do her job, she still wouldn’t be in the Army.”

“And so Tammy is absolutely dead wrong on this, and she should retract those words,” he continued. “That’s the most dangerous thing she could say, is that a United States lieutenant colonel in the United States Army is compromised and is an asset of Russia.”

He said Duckworth’s attack could be motivated by her being upset that Gabbard left the party.
