William Pulte

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, on Tulsi Gabbard and the Pulte purge, there are reports that Tulsi Gabbard was receiving instructions from a so-called guru and repeating them word for word. That ought to concern all of us if it is true. No one knows who this guru really is, what his connections are, and where the instructions came from. Maybe it was completely innocent or maybe not, but we need answers.

In appointing Bill Pulte to act as Acting DNI after Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump is replacing a guru with a grifter. Bill Pulte doesn't have an ounce of national security experience or an ounce of integrity, and he has already started to purge the intelligence experts who have that integrity. God only knows what Pulte plans to do next. Will Pulte interfere in our elections? expose intelligence sources? abuse Americans' private data? go after Trump's political enemies like he has done so many times before?

With his insistence on installing Pulte, Trump has embarrassed his own party, weakened our national security, and endangered the American people--all to serve his personal political interests.

When it comes to protecting Americans' national security, we need an adult in the room, and Pulte is removing them left and right.
