May 23, 2026

Summary

Tulsi Gabbard resigned as Director of National Intelligence, with sources suggesting she was 'pushed out' by the White House, as she pursued Trump's 'Deep State' grievances.

How coverage differs

Left outlets report Gabbard was pushed out and politicized intelligence, while right outlets claim she was spied on and pursued Trump's “Deep State” grievances.

  • Left: Tulsi Gabbard was ‘pushed out’ by the White House Left-leaning outlets report that Tulsi Gabbard was 'pushed out' by the White House and sidelined on key foreign policy issues like Iran and Venezuela. They highlight Rep. Adam Schiff's criticism that she 'politicized intelligence' during her tenure.
  • Right: Deep State purges Gabbard, silencing a voice against government overreach Right-leaning outlets frame Tulsi Gabbard's resignation as the culmination of a 'wild ride' where she was 'frozen out' and allegedly spied on by her own CIA. This narrative supports the idea of her pursuing President Trump's 'Deep State' grievances.
