BREAKING: Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune enrages MAGA by saying that "we don't need a weaponized" Director of National Intelligence after Trump nominated a total "nut" for the crucial job.
This is Trump's worst pick to date and everyone knows it...
"Bill Pulte is one of the worst members of the President's team and has convinced Trump to do more stupid stuff than anyone else in the past year," right-wing commentator Erick Erickson wrote on X.
And it appears that Thune, while avoiding such blunt words, may agree—
“If they nominate him to take the position permanently, he’ll have to go through a confirmation process and hearings and everything else, so, we’ll see,” Thune told reporters, throwing cold water on the idea of an accelerated confirmation process.
Trump's pick Bill Pulte has no prior intelligence experience and is widely regarded as nothing more than a regime hatchet man. This is the same Bill Pulte who, during his time leading the Federal Housing Finance Agency, made sham criminal referrals against political enemies of Trump like New York Attorney General Letitia James and Senator Adam Schiff.
"I think he's a nut," one House Republican told Politico last year.
"The guy's just a little too big for his britches," said another.
Thune was asked if he's worried that Pulte will "weaponize" the DNI (which is exactly why he was chosen) and the senator said: “We don’t need a weaponized DNI, we need professionals there.”
“Again, I just heard about it. I’ll try and get more information about the current state of their thinking about that position,” he continued. “If he’s somebody they want in that position permanently, he’s got a — as you all know — a lengthy road ahead of him.”
Hopefully, that "lengthy road" leads to a dead end in which Pulte's nomination is rejected. The American people deserve a DNI who will take his job seriously and keep our country safe, not a MAGA operative who will waste their time and our tax dollars chasing conspiracy theories.
Please ❤️ and share if you oppose Pulte's nomination!

Megyn Kelly, who endorsed and campaigned for Trump in the 2024 election:
“I didn’t expect the corruption to be quite as widespread as it has been. The self-dealing, the lining of his and his family’s pockets. It’s shocking… You look across the board at the Trump family, I’ve never seen a family get so rich off the presidency.”
