Calling Snowden a traitor is the same as calling Julian Assange a traitor. It's not gonna happen.
Not exactly. Wasn't Assange a journalist or whatever? Like the pentagoon papers guy. Snòwden worked for the government. But they sure didn't go easy on Assange. Not sure about Snowden.
Both are heroes.
@@vettevegasyou think snowden had it easy?
Absolutely no confirmation vote should be able to take place in closed committee. They all work for us and need to be accountable for their representation.
Call the Senate and leave message. Snowden was 21 yr old who isn't capable of making the same decisions politically as those 40 to 80 yr old senators who want to label him a traitor for life. Let go back and see all their mistakes at that age
S P O T O N !!!
If they vote against her, i want them voted out immediately
Yep, which is why this apparent "secret vote" is unacceptable. If you vote no, SHOW YOURSELF.
Whistleblowing is not a traitor we need to know the things that snowden had told us
Snowden went way beyond whistleblowing
@@innertubez oh how so? Because the way I read it was that Snowden blew the whistle on the fact that the American government was spying on its own people.
@@innertubez How? Not attacking you. Just curious since I don't know much about this.
❤
Comfirm Tulsi, or lose my Vote
Senators who asked Tulsi G. questions should let her speak and explain her position!!!
They don't want answers;they want a show getting the answer they want. It's disgusting.
@@Vision-yo8qx They don’t want her to hear anything she has to say. They are very disrespectful towards her. She is far more exemplary than the people on this committee.
The thing with confirmation hearings is the nominee can go back and answer on the record after
So typically what they do is they let the senators get their questions out because Tulsi can come back later and officially put whatever response she thinks is best
Sen. Young and Sen. Lankford gave her plenty of time to talk. Unfortunately, she did not cover herself with glory in those answers.
We need to put together a list of all Senators who vote against Tulsi, Bobbie, and Kash. We can rank 'em by when they're up for reelection, and their margin in the last elections. Primary or general election opponents could and should unelect some of theses people.
EXACTLY!!! They need to be voted out and never hold office again.
They have a right to have different opinions. Period
McConnell hasn’t had to worry about an election in all his years because he’s guaranteed to win- it was the threat the levied against him in 2020… because once he’s not protected and the voters choose, he’s gone.
@@dp7047 These deep-state senators have lied and protected blatant fabrications that have cost the lives of tens of thousands. They have no right to support murderers.
So sad to see the Diddycrats screaming at TEUMPS NOIMINEES.. THEY ARE BEING HIT WITH THE REALITY THAT THESE PEOPLE WILL TELL Trump all their misdeeds. Senators are corrupt and we all know how they are insider trading and making a fortune and don't want exposed
All these fools are attacking Tulsi in BAD FAITH, when she has more integrity than most of them combined.
Exactly
The same Senators who refuse to declare Biden a traitor.
Don't forget, Biden gave Soros the Medal of Freedom! Might as well give one to Stalin too.
Or Milley.
Biden isn’t a convicted felon who tried to overturn a fair election. Learn some history.
Or Mayorkas
Or milley!! They are old enough to male decisions but Snowden was 21 yr old. How can they expect him to make same brain function reasoning
Tulsi not calling Snowden a traitor, is a huge plus to her credit in my book.
Why is her NOT calling Snowden a traitor of the United States, a huge plus in your book ? Are you for the Russians ?
Snowden isn't a traitor.
He exposes the criminal element the government does behind closed doors but the guilty party here is the government who spies on the people of this country in many ways and only traitors are the people in government
What’s your definition of traitor?
Yes, are many RINOs on the senate!
And they probably already accepted money from the pharmaceutical companies. To vote agains RFK.
Politicians hate and I mean hate people with morals. Going to be a tough fight for tulsi. But the world needs her now more than ever.
corrupt democrats afraid of Kash Patel.
Props to her for holding her ground
GOP senators in danger of no reelection, if they don't approve Tulsi - there i fixed it
Sorry I made the same comment before I read yours. 100% true
This GOP Senator is a shame of the Republican Party! Garbage!
If Tulsi is in danger from Republican Senators, then those Senators are in danger of being voted out by Republican voters. Trump will make sure that we have better people as their replacements.
I dont know what your polls are saying, but all im hearing from my community is WE WANT CHANGE! We want Patel, Gabbard, and RFKJr!!!!
So what
Speak for yourself. Make sure you keep that energy when sh** hits the fan after they get started with their hidden agendas and open threats. 😂😂. Make sure you keep that same vibe and be on the front lines 😂😂 good luck with that. FAFO
I agree
I know you do, but here in America, we don't.
You must be in a maga community and definitely on the wrong side of history
Snowdenen is a hero not a traitor ,he open the cans with all the worms for the world to see..
He could be both. My question is, why prosecute Snowden if they don't also prosecute those individuals in the US government that Snowden exposed as violating the law?
Integrity is doing the right thing even if no one is looking .
@@jrstf Glenn Greenwald won a Pulitzer Prize for his documentary about Snowden..
She needs to stick to her guns. These idiots clearly don't know who their obligation is to in government. They also don't seem to know what the job of a citizen is, so they don't know the difference between a patriot and a Benedict.
If you are a citizen and are putting the country and the citizenry ahead of the government, you are a patriot. If you are hindering a citizen from doing that or punishing a citizen for having done that, you are a Benedict. If you are a citizen and you are keeping your government honest and accountable to the citizenry, you are a patriot. If you work in government and define lying to the citizenry against the citizenry's best interest as patriotic, you are a Benedict.
Snowden is a citizen, and a patriot. The people calling him a traitor for informing the people that their government is not about their best interest in full violation of their only purpose, are Benedicts.
I just knew about eggs Benedict. Now I know it’s actually something bad.
She’s a Putin puppet.
BEST COMMENT.
all three of them should get in
There's always recess appointments. We want our people in there, regardless of a herd of rinos.
She needs to get confirmed. We need her.
The only thing McConnell is looking for is his next bowl of pudding.
Hey, don't disparage pudding.
And bag of coke.
They wanted her to say "Traitor" so badly. She didn't cave.
Everyone of those republicans better think twice before they vote against her.
She's more than qualified for the job, Trump wants her in and she should be confirmed ... my biggest grip against her is that she endorsed Joe Biden for President
She had to... She was under contract to endorse the DNC nominee
Which party is she loyal to? Or in which direction the wind blows?
@jiffyyoyo6253 there are no parties.... This is class war. It's the elites vs. the plebs and she's team pleb
@@teamthoth O.K. Thanks.
LOVE TULSI ,KENNEDY, AND KASH.THIS GUY IS SOOOOOOO OLD SCHOOL Washington D.C.We need disruptors and change in D.C. period.
What we see here is when members of a political party you were once part of go all out to destroy your reputation, credibility and career.
Showdenis a hero he refused to go against the Constitution!
Why should she? She said he broke the law. They aren’t satisfied with that! What a bunch of hypocrites. All of you are disgusting by the way you all vehemently ask her your questions. You all forget that our own government spied on our citizens. Is that ok? They seem to cherry pick what they want to hear and what is said.
He was not asking her whether or not Snowden broke the law,we know that he broke the law,that is a fact, what he was asking her is her opinion on what he did and she wouldn't answer that question.
@ how about all the people involved with the coup who are still on this committee did they commit treason? It’s an opinion that can’t be won. Some would call it treason and others would call it whistleblower privilege. You have seen how these very people treat whistleblowers who are not on their side . They have been ruined without a job.
It’s defamation to call him a traitor when he hasn’t been convicted by a jury of his peers. Sixth amendment.
I thought whistleblowers weren’t traitors. The more you know, I guess.
Mr. Warner, if I told the truth to your wife, how you are cheating on her, am I a traitor too? Is it because you just didn't want the truth to come out?
It's the truth their afraid of. about all their corrupt insider trading will come out. Trump and DoJ will have enough to throw them all out of office and they are running scared ..kkash. tuski and are the ones who will have insider info on all them instead..that's why their screaming. It's their illegal money their protecting
That is the issue. We need to protect the power of the bureaucracy regardless...
I support her and her refusal to repeat any puppet style intimidating ad hominem condemnation. It reminds me of, "you are with us, or you are with the terrorists," language we got after the Patriot Act. Complex issues are not black and white, but require transparency and open disscusion.
Yeah you have no idea what you and others are in for. Keep voting blindly and not doing your own homework and research. 😂
Exactly, false narrative.
@@ADRIAN.SGVT78what does her answering questions have to do with his/her research? Maybe they did too their research and came to the conclusion that she wasn’t a spy/terrorist sympathizer… you are acting as if you know anything about the person you are commenting too.. gtfoh
When will the public learn the outcome of these hearings?
She should ask them to condemn Hamas
Snowden is an American hero.
Exactly
Broke the law doesnt mean guilty
Snowden is NOT a traitor - much as the deep state would like you to think. He exposed how our government was manipulating and spying on us - and because he told the truth, some practices were forced to change. Showden is a patriot with guts - few are as brave as him - risking everything to warn Americans of unAmerican activities against us
He exposed Barry sotoro aka barrack hussein obama. The most un American president ever. Snowden did zer0 wrong
That's something all Americans agree on. Wonder why congress can agree on this issue of him being a traitor but cannot agree on anything that helps us.
The democrats have a lot of nerve, what they have done to our country!
Tulsi is right
President Trump should pardon Snowden.
Snowden is no traitor. He is an American hero.
Rebulicans are mostly clueless as to how people feel about Snowden and J6ers. It is time to call your senators and tell them to wake up and support the nominees.
Absolutely not. Snowden and the J6ers are not in the same boat. Snowden is no patriot. He's now a Russian citizen being treated like royalty in Russia.
Thank you. We should all call our Senators and tell them to accept these three the best of Trump's nominees
Tulsi is the 1 nomination I want most
Me2
Because RFKJ & Tulsi have integrity and don’t easily lie under oath, their nominations are now in jeopardy because of Republican Senators who lie as easily as they breathe.
RHINOS
Snowden is a hero. What he exposed made me shake my head. The way he did was wrong, but what he told open doors we all didnt know.
Sorry the GOP can get over it. Snowen is not a traitor!
Only a jury trial can determine if Snowden is guilty.
Good call. Calling him a traitor is defamation until he is convicted by a jury of his peers. Innocent until proven guilty.
@@xDMG15xthe democrats see guilty not innocent.
Slight problem with that. He ran to Russia and traded state secrets for their protection. So can't really bring him to trial now can we? Do criminals all get free passes as long as they elude capture?
@@balzarinemythus50 he was stranded in Russia because obama cancelled his passport while he was on a stopover on the way to south america. He was not in possession of any stolen documents and he did not disclose any classified information to Russian authorities.
Mrs. Tulsi, I am with you, all the way. I fully support your nomination. You’re the most fit, intelligent, transparent and trustworthy ❤❤❤❤
She talks pretty but
she is WEF and YGL
Check their websites 😢
DON’T SACK HER. !!!
Don’t sack Talsi Gabbard because you don’t like her honesty !!! Would you rather her lie Too You !!! She’s the pick Trump wants - Do It !!
Or you’ll be Gone !!!😮😢😂😅😊. Got It !!!
Traitor Within:
"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague." - Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman Orator - 106-43 B.C
Tulsi needs someone to ask this... "Did Snowden's disclosures help bring reform to government over reach."
Prayers for Gabbard and Patel. We really need them.
You think Trump will allow that one of his nominees not be confirmed? Danggg, you all need to move to Lala land!
He will definitely take it personally if a republican steps out of line. He may not be running for office ever again but the voters know if you betray Trump you aren’t going to stay in office.
I learned a lot about how dumb some Senators are thanks to these hearings. Very few questions were 'real' questions, it was mostly just grandstanding nonsense. Now it is pretty obvious why nothing ever got done these past several years.
Oelosi put these law enforcement officers lives on danger
Snowden and Assange should be pardoned. All they did was to bring transparency to the public.
Tulsa gabbert is an interesting politician. I'm a conservative independent who left the Republican party around the turn of the century.
When I saw her on stage with all of those Democrats when she was running for the Democrat nomination for president for the 2020 election she was the only Democrat on the stage that "scared" me. It was because I'm no fan of the Democratic party, yet she was the only one on that entire stage that made any sense whatsoever. The rest were just a bunch of children. She was the only adult on stage.
And yet look where she is now question No wonder.
snowden is a good man ! Gabbard is a good woman !
I find it funny that the only things democrat and republican politicians agree on are the things the American people generally agree on... problems is its always the exact opposite opinion like with Snowden.
Just another thing that’s a fact too Vladimir Putin called Donald Trump and told Donald Trump that he would send Edward Snowden back to the USA because he didn’t know anything that they hadn’t already knew
They need to put these traitors in recess. This is ridiculous.
She did right, Snowden is a hero
I also think we should have 6 months of daily whistle-blower testimony and give them immunity and full restitution for any wrongdoing in government. This swamp isn't going to drain itself.
Primary every Republican that doesn't confirm ALL of Trump's cabinet!
The MAGA cult is eating itself lol
Tulsi is incredibly impressive and I very much pray our nation gets the benefit of her continued service in ever increasing levels of responsibility.
Why would she? Snowden is a patriot, not a traitor.
We need a movement AGAINST republican Senators who vote against Tulsi. I'd rather vote for a dem than a RINO.
If they approved Pete they’ll approve them all.
I don't think so. Raytheon and the boys love Pete. He was a shoe in. Drug companies hate RFK he's doomed.
@@amarreder6241they needed one with petite and they didn’t get it
@@darylboldin4732
Past 🚫 Future
It took swaying a last voter to get Pete to the VP deciding vote. Not so sure with these three. But who are the alternatives?
TG, RFK Jr., and KP will be great additions to Trump's cabinet if they are confirmed. If they aren't, Trump should put them into even more influential positions...
Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard are the ones we need
You literally at me at “Schiff was effective”. 😂
WHY is Mitch Mc Conell still in congress he already caused the republican party to lose 12 Judges and hes rejecting Trumps nominees picks. we seriously need to Primary Mitch out
You won't need to I don't think he's running again due to age.
Well technically he is a traitor , anyone who flees a situation instead standing firm in thier beliefs wouldn't runaway even in the face of death .
I meam how do you think these two men make an omcome now ....... out tue goodness of people hearts😂😂😂, pretty sure they are selling info all day long to ensure thier own survival. Just cause they blew a whistle doesnt mean they are good men
A “NO” vote for Tulsi, Kash, RFK Jr, is a “No” vote come time for reelection.
You thought the clown schiff did a good job. Sorry you completely lost me with that one
Not at all what happened. She wasn’t given a chance to answer. This is obviously a hit piece.
These boys better watch themselves , they are elected officials and Tulsi has the support of the American people.
They may be looking for a new job come next election cycle because I for one will remember.
If you people don’t get Tulsi Gabbard approved I will be ashamed of all of you!
Snowden is a national hero!!
Those against her are probably the ones who need investigating - and they know it.
Regarding Kennedy and Gabbard: Getting rejected does not diminish either's prospects as presidential candidates in 2028, which is what this is all about.
What the rejection would cause is disruption is the ranks of voters. Trump put together a coalition and the Neocons are trying to hijack it by assuring only their ilk really want a seat at the table.
Don't ever underestimate the GOP's ability to completely destroy itself.
Ukraine’s unity shows the strength in collective action.
Patel won’t even acknowledge his own words, that is someone you can’t trust
It makes sense the GOP would disagree with Gabbard's one decent opinion that actually protects freedom of speech and freedom of the press and protecting whistleblowers.
Any Senator that votes against any of Trumps Cabinet picks should be primaried out of the Party.
It makes me sick to see self-righteous hypocritical people try to find fault in a great person . They always look for dirt in others when they are full of the same . They did not let her answer the question in her own way . That is her right .
He's not a traitor, he's a patriot.
These 3 nominees are my favorites, please confirm them.
As someone else said she should have just said that's up to a judge and jury.. I'm surprised her handlers didn't advise her better.
Tulsi, Patel, Kennedy we need you we love you ❤👍
SNOWDEN IS A HERO. THIS IS THE SWAMP THAT CALL HIM A TRAITOR.
7:59 Schiff is afraid that he will be investigated. As he should 😂
If she won't call this traitor a traitor, then she does not deserve to be confirmed.
The traitors are the government or have you not been paying attention.I take it you don't mind the government lying to us and spying on us.
i remember this one time i felt like no matter what i did, people just didn’t notice me. i tried everything-confidence boosters, social tips, you name it-but nothing seemed to work. then i found this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and it completely shifted how i saw myself. it’s not just about being noticed; it’s about understanding the energy you project. honestly, this book made all the difference for me. if you’ve ever felt invisible, you need to read it.
Gabbard’s FAFO moment has come.
Too bad ! These people are not qualified for these jobs, which they are not had any experience for. Too dangerous for Americans if they get these jobs.
Leave it to this congress to make recess appointments look like a good idea.
This is political theater. Their job is supposed to be advice and consent. Not filibuster and pontificate.
