Ex-CIA Officer Tapped to Replace Gabbard Blasted 'Toxic' DEI Culture

[lostincalifornia]

Aaron Lukas, the former CIA officer selected to replace Tulsi Gabbard as spy chief, aligns with some of President Donald Trump’s most ardent beliefs, including that intelligence agencies have become infected with wokeness, and that allegations of a Russian operation to sway the 2016 election are a hoax.

Trump, who announced in a social media post on Friday that Lukas would replace Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence in an acting capacity, praised him as “highly respected.”

In his confirmation hearing to be Gabbard’s deputy last year, Lukas warned that the American intelligence community, which comprises 18 agencies, had become “aimless, bloated, risk-averse, and disconnected at times from the core mission of intelligence.”

He praised Trump and Gabbard for “getting rid of a toxic diversity, equity, and inclusion political dogma that at best was a distraction and at worst pitted IC officers against one another.”
