Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard pulled no punches Thursday on “The Ingraham Angle,” exposing a CIA more corrupt than she’d feared. “The swamp is worse than what I thought coming into this job,” she told host Laura Ingraham, slamming a culture of politicized agendas over objective truth.

Gabbard didn’t mince words about the rot. She accused CIA elements of “trying to shape intelligence according to their own view or their own agenda,” instead of delivering “unbiased, accurate, timely intelligence” to policymakers and President Trump. Conservatives see this as vindication of long-held suspicions.

The stakes hit hard when Ingraham asked about swampiness on a one-to-ten scale. Gabbard dodged a number but pointed to whistleblowers stepping up. “People within the intelligence community reaching out to me personally and directly saying, ‘Hey, you need to know about this,’” she said, hinting at a brewing purge.

Her mission’s clear—root out the weaponization. “I’d love to come back and talk to you as we pull back the layers of getting rid of the weaponization within the intelligence community,” Gabbard told Ingraham. Republicans cheer this as Trump’s mandate to drain a swamp Biden let fester.

The CIA’s already squirming. Reports say the agency offered payouts to its entire workforce, a move Trump officials told The Wall Street Journal aims to nudge out anti-Trump holdovers. Gabbard’s arrival, barely two weeks in, is shaking a bureaucracy conservatives say has defied America too long.

She didn’t stop at diagnosis. Gabbard blasted Biden’s crew for a “pro-Islamist bent” that ignored jihadist chatrooms on CIA servers, fearing Islamophobia labels over national security. “They took this in endangering our own national security,” she said, tying it to broader politicization.

Trump’s backing her all the way. Confirmed February 12 by a 52-48 Senate vote, Gabbard’s now spearheading his vision—cut waste, end bias, protect Americans. Her military past and outsider status fuel a resolve conservatives trust to gut a rogue agency.

The heartland’s watching close. Posts on X echo her call, with users slamming a “disloyal” CIA and urging Trump to “clean it out.” This isn’t just talk—Gabbard’s already axed over 100 for explicit chats on NSA platforms, proving she’ll swing the axe.

Republicans see a reckoning. Biden’s weak borders and woke priorities let this swamp grow; Trump’s flipping the script with Gabbard at the helm. She’s not here to coddle—she’s here to cut, and conservatives say it’s about time America’s intel serves its people, not itself.
