Brutal Nickname for Tulsi Gabbard Revealed as Top Cabinet Member Ices Her Out of Venezuela Op
Tulsi Gabbard was sidelined due to her anti-intervention stance as the Trump administration executed Operation Absolute Resolve, capturing Nicolás Maduro amid narcoterrorism efforts.
- On Saturday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was excluded from President Donald Trump's team planning Operation Absolute Resolve, which involved Friday missile strikes and a Saturday raid capturing Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores; Gabbard was also absent from the Mar-a-Lago press briefing.
- Senior officials sidelined Gabbard because her prior opposition to U.S. military action in Venezuela created mistrust, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and White House Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller led months of planning.
- Visible signs of her freezeout included White House aides joking the DNI acronym meant `Do Not Invite` and Gabbard posting yoga photos in Hawaii on January 2 before commenting three days later.
- In immediate aftermath, Vice President JD Vance refuted reports, saying `One, that I was kept out of the planning for the Venezuela operation—that's false. And another, that Tulsi was kept out of the planning for Venezuela operations.` in a White House briefing.
- Observers note that Tulsi Gabbard's 2019 and 2020 public comments calling to 'stay out of Venezuela' highlight broader oversight and war-powers implications amid her exclusion.
