Gabbard Plans To Fire NSA Agents Over Explicit Chat Scandal

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is taking decisive action to terminate employees involved in secret NSA chatrooms that engaged in explicit discussions about sex, kink, and polyamory, which were framed as part of the agency's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The chats, which included graphic content about gender reassignment surgeries and personal sexual experiences, were reportedly legitimized by certain employee resource groups within the NSA. Gabbard confirmed that these chatrooms have been shut down and that disciplinary actions are underway for those who participated in these discussions. Both Gabbard and CIA officials have expressed outrage over the incident, emphasizing a need for reform within the intelligence community. The controversy aligns with broader efforts to address perceived excesses of DEI policies in government agencies. Gabbard's commitment to accountability reflects her aim to refocus the intelligence community on its core mission of national security.
