Threatened with imminent expulsion from her cabinet position, Tulsi Gabbard did what everyone else in Trump’s orbit does: she denied saying what she previously said about Iran’s capabilities for producing nuclear weapons. That she and the White House conveniently omitted the part where she said that Iran was “not building a nuclear weapon” is just part for the course with these moral reprobates.
No one who contradicts Trump is allowed to stay in Trump World, so she changed her tune and now crosses her fingers that it’s enough to keep her job.

Tulsi Gabbard says Iran could produce nuclear weapons “within weeks”, months after she testified before Congress that the country was not building them.
The US Director of National Intelligence said her March testimony – in which she said Iran had a stock of materials but was not building these weapons – had been taken out of context by “dishonest media”.
Her change of position came after Donald Trump said she was “wrong” and that intelligence showed Iran had a “tremendous amount of material” and could have a nuclear weapon “within months”.
Iran has always said that its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful and that it has never sought to develop a nuclear weapon.
