Virginia Sen. Mark Warner blasted Tulsi Gabbard as “not competent” moments before the national intelligence director dropped a report alleging that the Obama administration stoked election interference claims in a “treasonous conspiracy.”

Warner, the Democratic vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, was at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado discussing the nation’s acuity for intelligence gathering under President Donald Trump when he gave the scathing indictment of Gabbard’s job performance, The Hill reported.

“Tulsi Gabbard is not competent to be the director of national intelligence,” Warner reportedly told moderator Peter Baker at the event on Friday. “I believe she is trying to politicize the workforce and work product, and that makes America less safe.”

In promulgating her Friday report, Gabbard claimed that the Obama administration promoted claims that Russia interfered with the 2016 election despite evidence proving otherwise to undermine Trump’s victory.
